Engineer quits Apple, warns Google and Apple are racing to 'self-improving foldables'
DevDminGod · x · 2026-09-10
An engineer claiming three years of foldable research at Google and Apple announced his resignation from Apple, accusing both companies of 'acting irresponsibly' and 'racing straight to self-improving foldables, gambling with our lives.'
The post is a clear parody of AI-safety doomer rhetoric, transplanting 'self-improving AI' onto foldable phones with a pitch-perfect imitation of resignation-warning posts from ex-OpenAI/Anthropic employees. The reposter playing along — 'so talented, Tim should do something' — makes the bit even funnier.
