    Why do companies feel like that have to try and do everything?

    Why can’t you just ‘stay in your lane’ and be good at what you’re good at.

      Ever expanding profit requires ever expanding scope until it doesn’t, then you can divest for profit and try again.

        I’ve been predicting for a while though that siri will be turned into an AI that runs locally using the metal cores.

        Especially after seeing the Rabbit R1, Google putting Tensor cores in the pixels, and hearing Apple preach about privacy.

        That is a very astute observation stranger!

      A lot of these tech companies got into cars because they viewed vehicles as a major new computing platform. Especially autonomous vehicles.

      Apple started out with desktop computers. So by ‘staying in their lane’, they’d never made ipods, iphones, Apple silicon, earpods and airpods, the watch, etc. I think they had quite the success by diversing themselves.

      Well with that mentality Nintendo would be a trading card company and we wouldn’t have Super Mario Galaxy, and my 3rd grader past self has suffered enough without having their favorite Wii game taken away on top of everything else!

      With that strategy, there would have been no iPod and therefore no iPhone.

      Hell, there would probably not even been a computer mouse since Rank Xerox would have been focusing on how to make copies of paper.
