Not just Perplexity but Anthropic as well, which would my preference.
- dawnofdusk 1y agoIs Apple supposed to be one of the kind and benevolent megacorporations?
- criddell 1y agoI would assume basic functionality would be included but advanced functionality would require a subscription to Apple One (or whatever it's called now). So I wouldn't describe them as kind and benevolent, more that they want to make products people will pay for.
- tempest_ 1y agoNo public company can be "benevolent" Apple still makes 10s of billions a year letting Google be the default search, they have a vested interest in maintaining that revenue. Plus whatever "values" they have will go right out the window if the golden iphone shaped Goose ever stumbles.
- alwillis 1y agoTo the degree that it matters, I believe Apple and Anthropic values are more in alignment than say, Apple and OpenAI.

- layer8 1y agoWe do not need any more big-tech concentration than we already have, rather less.
- whywhywhywhy 1y agoIf you like Anthropic's models shouldn't Apple buying them be something you don't want to happen? Is Apple gonna want to be in the coding model in a dropdown in Cursor business? Not too sure they're interested in that.
- alwillis 1y agoWould I prefer Anthropic to stay independent and go on to be a real alternative to Google, Microsoft and xAI? Certainly. While I don't believe Apple wants to be in all of Anthropic's current businesses, the crown jewels are the models and employees, which is want they want.
