I am part of Apple's SEAR (Security Engineering and Architecture) organization and can’t attest that we have been using Anthropic models, including, but not limited to, Mythos, as part of our participation in Project Glassing and previous private partnerships with different frontier AI labs for years. We simply don’t talk about it because there’s no benefit to talk about it, and also NDA’s, but mostly because there’s no benefit to talk about it other than to satiate people’s curiosity about what we do or don’t do internally.

- strictnein 5mo agoPerson with an internal viewpoint gives their perspective and you decide the best response was to bite their head off. Wonderful.
- riffraff 5mo agoYou wrote "can't attest" but the rest of what you wrote seems like you're actually attesting it. Typo, or I am just misreading?

- isomorphic 5mo agoThe heavily ironic implication is that they're under NDA, so they can't attest to it, while more or less attesting it. Senator, I cannot confirm or deny that we definitely do this. This could also be an unofficial-official way for Apple to "leak" that yes, they do this--which is on brand for how Apple handles "rumors" etc.
- riffraff 5mo agoAh of course, thanks. By the rest of the comment it looked like it was actually fine to share so this interpretation flew over my head.
- qsxfthnkp2322 5mo agoImagine working there with a boss who talks like this.
- bitwize 5mo agoWhen the CIA representative says "I can neither confirm nor deny" it generally means the atrocities of which the agency has been accused did, in fact, take place.
- MattPalmer1086 5mo agoWhen I worked in the civil service we were trained to use that phrase to any query, no matter how innocuous (unless we had permission to give more info). You may think that not issuing a categorical denial is suspicious, but generally speaking you cannot infer any information from that response. If it was only used when really bad things might have happened, maybe you could infer more.

- lapcat 5mo ago> there’s no benefit to talk about it That there's no benefit to talking with the public is something that only Apple could believe. Openness and honesty create trust. Secrecy creates distrust.
