With iOS18 on the horizon, I’m not surprised. Very AI heavy apparently
I wouldn’t let him either; he’d just say a bunch of ill-informed, ignorant shit that people would parrot back for the next 2 years like it was the gospel truth.
Apples is notorious for controlling the narrative and gaslighting. See movie villains not allowed to use their devices, and worse, scripts and guidelines on how to downplay bugs and issues for customers.
It kills the goose with the golden eggs, and therefore it is unmentionable.
Wasn’t it also because of some anti china segments also
To be fair, his actual Daily show segment on it just ended up being the most surface level “took er jerbs” commentary that could apply to any productivity increasing automation.
Whyyy the fuck can Apple control what’s discussed on a unrelated channel?
His show was terrible and he isn’t funny. He would make constant obnoxious jokes at inappropriate times like he was a child or a South Park character and it was fucking cringe. The his “interviews” were basically ambushes where he would just lecture them the whole time. It felt like a Fox News interview where they just talk over them.
He’s keeps making excuses for why they canceled his show but in reality it was shit and no one watched it. He also failed as a director and everything else. He’s starting to whine as much as elon musk.
Probably because it’s all happened before and AI assisted in our mutual destruction. The entire earth got flattened by nukes and we are but the remnants of a once advanced species. Of course the ruling class knows all this as they have the knowledge and blueprints to rebuild and live forever with ancient tek.
Lol jk. Would make for a cool movie though
Of course hes a simp
Can’t trust using platforms owned by large tech companies, can’t trust platforms owned by those which own cable networks which is the case here. I sure hope that doesn’t become a problem for Jon.
He also said they wouldn’t let him interview Lina Khan on his podcast, which seems like a bigger deal.
Apple wouldn’t let him talk about AI, China or talk to FTC regulator Lina Khan? No wonder he left.
This shows quite starkly how tech monopolies or oligopolies have too much power and need to be broken up.
Did this need to be reposted again?
That’s what happens when media outlets are owned by big business.
The stupid part is that it would have been on brand for Apple to support the open discussion and taken taken a stand on ways to improve it.
Ai isn’t all evil. It’s a tool like anything else.
I like how this is being downvoted for stating facts.
These criminals are stealing our intellectual property and censoring the media that tries to report on it. Yet no one does anything about it?
Corporate censorship
Because all Apple customers would bail on the product line realizing its efficiency versus Siri, who may I add, can’t set an alarm for two days from now.
I’m old enough to remember when he begged Donald Trump to run for president on TDS because it would be funny.
LOL at her definition of monopoly practices, the part where she comments about how it’s whether a company can treat it’s customers like crap and get away with it.
Hello VMWare?!? Guess her small team’s sleepin.
More evidence that our world is nothing but carefully tailored propaganda by the mega corps/Government and their Billionaires masters. Can’t let the common man realize how badly they are about to be fucked over less they revolt.
Meh I’m sick of him, he’s acting kind of like a mafia wife. He had no problems with apples shadyass business practices when he was receiving which was no doubt a ludicrous amount of money to do a show, only when they finally don’t allow HIM to do a shitty segment on china does he start whining.
There’s no way he didn’t sign up for season 1 of that show not knowing APPL is a publicly traded company that is way too too reliant on china and doing a segment trashing them might piss them off/sour relations that would tank their stock. This AI shit is the same thing. I don’t give a shit about “censorship”, their bottom line is to increase their shareholder value. Don’t agree to make a show with them in the first place, but that big fat paycheck was just too alluring in the beginning.
No shit Sherlock. It’s Apple. They aren’t letting you burn any of these things. You absolutely knew that well before asking about it. “I’m going to crap on AI, I wonder if Apple will mind?” If you didn’t know that answer ages before asking it, bud, you’re an idiot.
Apple and the rest of the corporate tech world is infusing AI into all their products.
“Like, what is that sensitivity?” Stewart asked about Apple. “Why are they so afraid to even have these conversations out in the public sphere?”
Yes Jon, that’s what we’ve been asking about a lot of topics these days. People like you don’t seem to like that.
Jon Stewart may be the only TV talking head I’ve ever respected in my entire life, and he continues to reaffirm that status.
Well him, and his protege Zazu, but they fill different if similar niches.
Apple are so behind on AI they’re probably unaware of the dangers.
To be fair he was probably just going to peddle the same faux outrage the media has been harping on when they have no clue what AI is or how it works. There are real dangers that AI present, and none of them are covered by the media.
Was it apple or the ai?
