@jsnell There’s bound to be a really interesting story of corporate intrigue about how the people in charge of Siri have been actively opposed to virtual assistants for a decade and have been waging a silent campaign of sabotage behind the scenes. Either that or a really boring story about unimaginative managers hitting minor progress targets for their bonuses.

@joesteel @jsnell

Getting a feature in front of the public then apparently removing that team and any maintenance crew to some other thing entirely seems to be a systemic illness with Apple.

@joesteel @jsnell option 3: the siri app that apple bought turned out to be an evolutionary dead end at a fundamental level and they've had to start over from the beginning of a red queen's race.

@xarph @joesteel not really an option, that was absolutely clear years ago. Siri launched when Steve Jobs was still alive.
