In 2015, Apple tried to CRUSH Spotify. • Threatened to remove them from App Store • Demanded 30% of all revenue • Blocked their app updates But Spotify's response was genius. Here's how Daniel Ek founder of Spotify outsmarted the world's biggest company 🧵

🧵/3 As manufacturers, we need volume! Once people experience the benefits, demand follows. We've seen it firsthand—install one pod on a street, and three years later, several neighbors come knocking on our door. - Aidan Sanderson

🧵/2 On fake news about heat pumps: The best way to counter this narrative is by showcasing positive real-life experiences from heat pump users, rather than focusing on theoretical debates about their carbon impact compared to gas boilers. - Dimitri Vergne

🧵/4 "We live in a growth-driven economy, where some big manufacturers shorten product lifespans to survive. This leads to increasing resource use and emissions, which isn’t necessary because we don’t need to invent anything new." - Sepp Eisenriegler

🧵/3 "I think the real question isn’t repair versus refurbishment; it’s us versus new." - Paul Anton Ploberger

🧵/5 "There are tricks where providers can make more money and consumers can save costs. Sounds like magic, but providers can optimize activities over the lifecycle, unlike traditional sales where producers focus solely on maximizing their own profit." Tom Sakao

🧵/4 "There’s a strong case for creating long-lasting products with these new models, but we need a way to store and manage the data. That’s why the European Commission’s approach with the upcoming digital product passports is so interesting." - Bertrand Tison

We welcome the decision. But the push for accountability doesn’t stop here—complaints have been filed against LinkedIn for similar data misuse. This is about consumer control in the era of Generative AI. Let’s keep pushing for transparency and accountability in AI!

The Irish High Court has closed a landmark case against X after it agreed to stop using European users' data to train its Grok AI chatbot. This sets a major precedent for AI development and reinforces the importance of data privacy. dataprotection.ie/en/news-media/…
