When you say Apple believes in privacy, I’m afraid you give them too much credit. Apple is a multinational corporation. It doesn’t believe in anything except increasing shareholder value. I’m glad Apple has embraced privacy, but they embrace it because it’s profitable, not out of altruism.

@DazeEnd Maybe I should’ve said that Tim Cook appears to believe in it. But I do think they’ve latched on to privacy so obsessively that they risk missing the big picture. Millions of people use ChatGPT and don’t seem worried.

@stupendousman I’ve long thought the design of Siri is all wrong. It should be more cloud-based so that it can work consistently across devices and be extensible with services. Doesn’t appear that Apple agrees but we’ll see.

@jonah That’s true. Apple just needs to be careful that they don’t ship a “worse but private” product. I think they can do both.
