“Hey guys, let’s slow down every iPhone substantially so the newest one looks incredibly fast (even tho we use nearly the same hardware), so buyers have more of a reason to buy the newest iPhone.” - basically planned obsolescence.
OR
“Hey guys, let’s slow down every iPhone substantially (except the newest one for w/e reason), so that the life expectancy of every iPhone rises substantially and people don’t have to buy new iPhones in the years to come.”
Like c’mon guys.
That’s not how it works—actually, that’s not how anything works. It’s not about doing the right thing; it’s all about what drives the most attention, clicks, or money.
There’s a reason every media outlet reports on every little thing the fat guy or this bozo does or says. There’s a reason you didn’t ignore this news and felt compelled to comment on it.
It’s the same reason 99% of these commenters have no idea who someone like Demis Hassabis is, was or will be: it doesn’t drive attention.
