Well HuggingFace won’t sue them now because they’re owned by Nvidia

It’s also included in the Apple one subscription that comes with Apple News, Apple Music, iCloud storage, etc. people might cancel their subscription to one of those, but not want to lose the others.

It doesn’t make the encryption irrelevant nor is it undermined in any way.

The person on the other end that you’re choosing to communicate with is the weak link. It has nothing to do with encryption at all. They could do the exact same thing whether encrypted or not. E2EE is simply not a factor here at all

I disagree. In both the consumer electronics world and even in the world of super nerds of IT, there is a very distinct, palpable loss of the joy that accompanies new technologies. And I’m not reaching back to the late 90’s either. The difference between just 10 years ago and today is nuts. And it’s felt not just by me but also younger people just entering the workforce.

No… the blame is shifted to the person for sharing their private texts in this scenario. The blame is on the person, who made the decision of sharing the texts…

Apple is uninvolved in the decision

Why would they do that? That wouldn’t stop the person you’re texting from just copying and pasting your texts into ChatGPT directly, which is your actual problem. If you text somebody, no matter how “private” it is, you have to trust the person you’re texting because you’re giving them those texts and they can do whatever they want with them.

It definitely does undermine the purpose of E2EE

It doesn’t undermine it at all is what I’m saying. The problem is just entirely unrelated to E2EE

You can enable Advanced Data Protection and Apple will no longer store the keys, however this is off by default and for something like an iMessage conversation both users would have to enable it for it to mean anything

Because the only viable alternative is Google, who are objectively worse.

But it doesn’t undermine the purpose of end to end encryption? End to end encryption means it’s encrypted on one end and is decrypted on the other end, as opposed to being decrypted somewhere in the middle.

This problem doesn’t for anything to undermine end to end encryption at all? With E2EE you still have to trust the other end. If the person who is the other end installs a plugin that reads the texts you send them, that’s not really a technology problem it’s an OpSec problem.

I wonder why Apple stans never bring this up when calling it the most private operating system that “cares” about user “privacy” and “security” when they can just hand over your E2EE messages after it’s decrypted, if a company has a “plugin”.

I don’t really understand what the point is you’re trying to make here.

What does Apple have to do with what somebody you’re sending texts to does with the texts you sent them? What is any company supposed to do about that?

You think Rockstar just decided to run their trailer on an exclusive platform, limiting its viewers for free?

I mean of course it won’t. Netflix paid them a handsome some of money for that exclusivity and they are certainly contractually obligated to honor it

It doesn’t get older than working in an office though lol

Animal agriculture only causes more pollution than AI data centers today because Agriculture is a mature industry with thousands of years of supply and demand built up over time, whereas the AI datacenter boom has barely begun.

One Acre of land used for livestock farming emits on average 0.5-1 metric ton of CO2 equivalent annually.

One Acre of land used for a datacenter is anywhere from 150-300 metric tons of CO2 annually.

AI datacenters are 3-4 orders of magnitude more polluting than agriculture comparatively. There’s just currently more agriculture than datacenters, which is something these AI companies would like to change

These things are usually hidden to the human eye unless you specifically look for them.

Because tech isn’t fun anymore. It started before AI, but AI has really vacuumed every last atom of joy out of the work. That’s before you start looking at issues like the general lack of job security.

Introductory pricing specifically, not their regular pricing.

The anti-Proton propaganda machine is nuts. I have never in all my life seen so much time and energy put into trying to manufacture outrage over a single company.
