Let's Go Crazy

Minutes before a rare Sunday session, here’s a look all the way back to 2 Tuesdays ago before the Musk/Trump rupture. I spend most of my time trying to get Frank Radice to acknowledge Trump’s success in dominating the first 100 days of this administration. No dice says Frank, until deep in the show when he finally admits the President has no clothes but still pulls off the hat trick of convincing the Democrats they have no strategy worth pushing forward. In fact, there’s so much hanging out there that we can’t interrupt the crazy long enough to change the channel. The net result: the Democrats are not worth investing in. Basically, as Musk says this week, he’s got 3 and a half years, I’ve got 40.

The tech media is wasting time on the collapse of Apple given its alleged weakness in getting caught up on the AI race. I think that’s either overdrawn or just plain wrong, just like the Left thinking they have insight into the power grab in Washington. Last I looked, the only real business being done with AI is meme-coding, piggybacked on Apple’s dominance of the hardware moment. You can say all you want about Android, but I’m just staying home and waiting for Apple to improve on my current iPhone. The enterprise is playing agentball, and I’m standing pat until Apple gets around to feeding the upgrade cycle. Meanwhile, the press is finding it difficult to pick a winner even though Perplexity is already well ahead in handicapping what the new iPhone killer will look like. Think Perplexity the channel. They have no pundits yet, but neither does the media.

But I’m less worried about the death of democracy than the death of peak TV. Popcorn sales are up as DogeBall transitions to actually making AI available to the RSS civilians who drove the last wave of innovation. Apple, start your engines please. If you don’t believe me, you’ve got plenty of company.
