I thought this is going to be the first book ever written in the Vision Pro.

And within six days, I realized this thing's useless.

You can't have it on your head for more than 45 minutes.

It's an engineering marvel, but it's basically a disaster as a product.

And, you know, no pun intended, it lacks vision.

I mean, that's Tim Cook.

The engineering talent in the company can build a great product, but it doesn't have an ecosystem.

I don't think Tim Cook's much of a partnerships guy.

He's not really a win-win partnerships guy.

He's an Apple takes all guy.

And I think that really sort of came home when they tried to build this new platform in VisionOS.

Companies like YouTube and Netflix had no interest in building for it.

So, you know, that that's a failure.

But but the bigger one is I think the failures are more intangible.

Trip will know as well as me, if you go find people that worked at Apple for 20 or 30 years, people who really understood the difference between the Steve Jobs era and the Tim Cook era.

You know, there's just a lack of inspiration.

There's just a lack of hunger.

The people leading Apple all are worth hundreds of millions of dollars through their stock options.

You know, they just don't have the appetite to take on major projects like they used to.

And you'll have someone that comes out of Caltech with brilliant expertise.
