    Fun fact; osteo-archeologist and palaeontologist students used to be given thylacine skulls to identify as a hazing ritual. They would usually be misidentified as Canine (fox or domestic dog).

    They do have different teeth to Foxes and they are smaller than Wolves but the similarity with Domestic Dogs and Dingos are uncanny!

    Convergent evolution at its finest!

    If they get Apple Intelligence into a functional form, (and not an embarrassing hilarious punchline in an anecdote), the will be profiting of my data.

    They can claim that it is Opt-In only (until a bug the next software update ‘accidentally’ changes my Opt-out status) and they can Anonymize my data, but that still doesn’t change the fact that they inferred that hey wouldn’t use my data.

    At least their user abuse is still less than Mozilla and Google threw out the “Don’t be Evil” motto decades ago…

    That still doesn’t give them the right to mine the data that their users entrusted to them though a paid service.

    It doesn’t matter how anonymised their harvesting is, they had an agreement with their subscribers not to invade their privacy like this.

    We are better off with a LLM that doesn’t work than abusing the data entrusted to them by their users.

    It won’t be long until the LLM bubble bursts and we all laugh about how stupid we were to think they had any use whatsoever.
