Linked – Is AI the new bloatware?
Whether you consider it bloatware or not may depend on your plan to use AI on a mobile device, but one thing is for sure about all hardware and many services that are adding AI features: They’re getting more expensive.
Adding the power to run AI tools locally costs money. If all Pixel phones are going to do all the AI work on photos and all the iPhones are going to process ChatGPT interactions locally, that’s going to require more expensive hardware.

Sadly, most managers just don’t know how to do this. We’ve lived in a world where hard work = hours worked for so long that we don’t know how to do anything else, even though it was also never really true. There have always been people who “work” long hours just to look good without ever really getting anything done, and others who get work done very efficiently and see no reason to sit at their desk longer and play that game.
