> Apple focused so much on privacy
Apple also doesn't have actual privacy since their focus was using the word strategically against their competitors, not actually protecting user data.
> Subramanya, who Apple describes as a "renowned AI researcher," spent 16 years at Google, where he was head of engineering for Gemini. He left Google earlier this year for Microsoft. In a press release, Apple said that Subramanya will report to Craig Federighi and will "be leading critical areas, including Apple Foundation Models, ML research, and AI Safety and Evaluation."
I don't see how Google + Copilot mindset even touches on privacy. I wouldn't be surprised if we users will be forced to pay even more personal data in the near future.

- isodev 11mo agoExamples for what? Name one feature that isn’t performative privacy to look good in press releases? - it’s probably opt in, Apple somehow excludes themselves from the list of baddies, can’t be audited, there are different ways to get the data, etc. Remember they even had an ad campaign “what happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone” which is technically incorrect and “smarter Siri” can’t exist around such promises atm.
