Based on their presentations yesterday and accompanying written materials they have a pretty capable ~3B parameter Foundational LLM running fully locally on the devices which is th…

Good news then that you’re explicitly asked for permission each time any query would by shared with ChatGPT.

You can read what they have shared about the security aspects of the cloud portion of their AI offering here: https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/

Can’t find a link right now (search terms are pretty crowded atm!) but I saw they just recently shared an llm they’ve been working on that is designed to answer questions about how…

I actually liked that they didn’t show any of the AI writing capabilities being used in iMessage but rather in email client for more professional contexts. I’m really curious to se…

You can only go into so much detail in that format for that audience. I was happy that they simultaneously posted a much more technical deep dive: https://security.apple.com/blog/p…

The details of their approach: https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/

Word on the street (someone who was talking to Apple employees at WWDC) is that the Vision Pro doesn’t have enough headroom on the processor for it. It’s driving that sucker really…

If you want the details: https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/

Before you write off their claims I encourage you to read more about the detailed specifics (if you have the technical footing and inclination to do so). While the approaches shoul…

What do you mean by the “record”? It seems like you think this means Apple somehow has access and stores all that information in their cloud and we just have to hope/trust that the…

You can read the details of their approach for the privacy/security aspects of the cloud compute portion here. https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/

Are you claiming Apple uses personal user data (e.g someone’s photos or texts) as training data for their server-side models? That’s a massive claim and there are some journalists …

The explanation is complicated but really fascinating. I think I understand it, but not well enough to explain it. Read the section entitled "What cryptographic tools are used in t…

Sorry, but they're not "spying on your device". If you choose to upload your photos to their cloud service (iCloud Photo Library), they'll use perceptual hashing and private set in…

That's exactly what they're doing. And they're requiring multiple matches before an account is flagged, further reducing false positives. They claim they've set the threshold to ac…

The "algorithm" isn't some sort of neural network trying to intelligently identify things that "look like" CP. It's a perceptual hash matching against a database of known CP. It ha…

That isn't accurate. They're not blindly handing lists of users over to the government. If an account uploads multiple images that match to known exploitative images and exceeds a …

Or maybe "don't work at Apple if you plan to spend dozens of hours of company time on the phone with your startup cofounders and use proprietary HR information to poach employees w…

This just seems like them attempting to be sensationalist. Anyone who has a company device managed with MDM that doesn't think their employer can monitor everything that happens on…

No, sued for actively recruiting them while still employed by the same company . He had a contractual duty of obligation to work in the company's best interest and instead spent do…

>It seems awfully convenient that Apple is the only entity that can still obtain the user's location Except there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that this is the case. All th…

But there isn't a general "System Services" toggle. There are a ton of specific toggles categorized as "System Services".

At the risk of seeming pedantic: There is a difference between "Apple" and "your device". If there is evidence that Apple is collecting/using location data for some purpose not det…

Are you saying that apps should be allowed to directly access GPS antenna/hardware without the system being involved at all? Because that is the only way I see that an app could us…
