Hide My Email addresses are not just a random string at icloud.com. They use plausibly-human names, probably generated by a language model. There’s no easy-to-check pattern.
They’re not switching the subdomain. They’re keeping it the same. That’s the news.
They’re switching the subdomain for the “Sign in with Apple” sign ups, which is not the same service.

They use plausibly-human names, probably generated by a language model. why would random selection from sets of predefined strings and joining them using a "." need any LLM involvement? Oh you need to check if it already taken... maybe for that? I'd use a database though... These days some people would even generate GUIDs with some language model, I guess...
- drdexebtjl 2mo agoIt’s probably not an LLM, nor a small transformer-based model, but it is a language model. Probably the kind that powered auto-correct before GPT. The generated words agree in grammatical gender and plural forms, so by definition it’s a language model.
