Hard to take a threatened ban like this seriously.

Rich coming from the guy whose employees were caught spying on unwitting victims in their cars.

Actual tweet reads: “Either stop this creepy spyware or all Apple devices will be banned from the premises of my companies.” Which is not at all what the title implies.

  Now just read what tweet was quoted by that reply...

    Too bad that is impossible to do without a twitter/x account. Oh well. Nothing of value was lost.

  "And visitors will have to check their Apple devices at the door, where they will be stored in a Faraday cage" Hard to misinterpret that.

    I read the headline as Musk banning users not employees. That’s a massive difference.

      Which headline did you read? It clearly says devices and unless users are suddenly devices I'm not sure how it could be interpreted as such
      - _mlbt 2y ago
        The HN post says “Elon Musk to Ban Apple Devices If OpenAI is integrated into OS“ which implies users’ devices to me, not employees’ devices.

        You could read it that way, but he doesn't have that kind of power.

He put Grok AI into Twitter, but he's worried about optional ChatGPT in iPhones? Also, does he not realize Samsung just added very similar AI features in OneUI 6.1?

  It's almost as if this isn't so much based in actual security concerns, and is rather just another episode in Elon's personal vendetta against OpenAI. (He used to be a board member and supposedly attempted to take more control of it in 2018, which he ultimately failed at.)

    To be fair, OpenAI completely went against the principles it established for itself under Musk's direction to be not-for-profit.
