This will definitely cause pause amongst the non-cost sunk companies. They will be wondering what Apple knows.

IMO this signals the lack of clear ROI versus maintenance costs. Silicone Valley is used to funding huge projects like Amazon which took years to choke out the competition and make money. But AI is a new market which is more interesting to investors than people who didn’t want it in their mouse.

Silicone Valley

didn’t want it in their mouse.

Huh?

You know what they meant by the first one. The second one is about people not being interested in dumb products like the Logitech AI mouse. Corporations are all jamming AI into their products and marketing materials not because users like it (they don't) but because they hope it will attract investors. So AI is more interesting to investors than to people who don't want it in their mouse.

Holy crap! When he said “AI mouse” I thought it was a joke. I mean it is, but, like, I thought it was an amusing fictional story.

I thought it was a typo for "house".
