new goal to keep the hype-train funded. Resting an laurels of existing AI is not enough to justify bigly P/E ratios.

magnify AI flaws? I suspect they use bots to detect and skip likely AI or CGI.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

in a far off country where you can't sue, this should have been expected.

I think it could be done rather easily, as they already sell keyboard docks for their iPads that have a keyboard and trackpad. The iPad Pro models use the same M-series chips that their Macs use. MacOS doesn't have touchscreen support of functionality, but I'll bet most users would be okay with that being disabled while using their tablet in Mac mode. Maybe they have to wrangle a few drivers or some other firmware, but a lot of the software and hardware is already common between the platforms.

I'm assuming the real reason they don't want to do it is money. Right now they can get some people to buy both a Mac and an iPad, but they'd lose some of those sales if one device could do both and iPads aren't as expensive as their Macs. Another possibility is that they're planning on doing this, but just don't have it ready yet. Steve Jobs famously derided video playback on the iPod, custom apps on the iPhone, and plenty of other features right up until Apple had their version for sale. Why talk about how great something is if you don't have it for sale right now?

I'm sure they pay their creators just as much as their creators pay them for hosting and distributing the videos.

Even if you were to opt out there's still millions of videos for channels that have been dead long before the terms changed. There's also nothing stopping any third parties from scraping YouTube for videos to train on either. The only difference is that YouTube has way better metrics about the videos on their own platform and know which parts of the video are skipped or replayed multiple times as well as any other meta data they may have created while processing it or about user generated complaints on it.

MAGA wants a brain-drain; thinkers don't vote them.

AIPAC has deep pockets

Deleting Meta (Facebook) owned apps or products is sensible behavior for anyone in any country. Zuckerberg is everyone's adversary.

Why aren't there Tamale Trucks? Somebody should look into that.

Expensive oil benefits Putie, and this makes Donnie happy.

SpaceX didn't invent self-landing rockets. McDonnell Douglass did with the DC-XA.

Correction, "stimulate", not "simulate", although Trump does that also, having an alternative economy in his head.

Profits? That's so Reagan-era. The new rich just want big toys.

Too early to count your orange chickens. If we get into a war with Iran-and-friends, it could boost aerospace activity, and thus simulate the economy (for good or bad).
