Summary
Microsoft and Apple are way behind their competition when it comes to the AI Arms Race, but for very different reasons. Microsoft is using influencers to get the 30-and-under crowd to use Copilot. Apple is using Google's Gemini to power Siri.
We also discuss Microsoft Publisher sunsetting in 2026 after a 35-year run, if we are moving away from ultra-thin phones, Patreon's Social Evolution, and more.
