Is this a sneak peak of what a baked in LLM into iOS could get in terms of market share

[Ben Young @bwagy]

to the launch of Apple Maps in September 2012, there were 103.6 million Americans with iOS or Android, 81 million of whom used Google Maps. One year after the release of Apple Maps, there were 136.7 million Americans with iOS or Android. During this time, Google Maps users decreased to 58.7 million, while Apple Maps gained 35 million new users.

Does Google & Bing now having AI citation data, sideswipe the GEO companies? Or does the value now lean on something else?

@joe_zappa @thesamparr In my early 20s (a great time to do this) there was this idea of reducing your possessions to 100 items or less.

Which I did, it just made me reset what actually I cared about, and from then more thoughtful on ‘stuff’.

One of the things I love about doing about a newsletter, is uncovering and directing readers to new voices, ideas, things sitting below the surface. Thinkers and doers on the rise. Conversations which haven’t yet formalised into press ready trends yet. And then some of these wake up Friday to a little surprise and delight of being mentioned, getting new followers, awareness of what they're up to and potentially new customers.
