Ah, by "Apple and Microsoft are failing at the device level", you are specifically saying they are failing specifically with respect to AI inference executing on edge devices (rather than in the cloud)?

Yes, that and edge platform integration with cloud services.

It’s complicated and difficult - I say fail in the “fail fast” sense, not as an insult. Where are the line(s) between Excel as a component of Windows, as a web service and as a node on the office graph?

If I need AI help integrated with the product to write Excel formulas, I think the way to get that from Microsoft is with Copilot for Office 365, which also accesses all of my data on the graph and can potentially leak stuff with web grounding. (Which for companies means you need to fix SharePoint governance and do lots of risk assessment #godbless)

I just go to ChatGPT.

		> fix SharePoint governance and do lots of risk assessment Pretty sure that's the product requirement that drove MS Purview (previously: MS data protection?). No business wants to take the time to do data classification. No business is going to do cool new stuff with sensitive data. ... Therefore, flip Microsoft Purview on and when you leak data you now have someone to point the finger at. And can do cool stuff.
