Great, glad you figured out the answer to your original question then.

Couldn't give a fuck about all the other uninformed nonsense you decided to spew out after, though. Goodbye!

I read it. It's a nothing piece other than to say oh look millions want this new ad Spyware on their computer!

nice. petty. I like it. your bank account is irrelevant. I'm talking about advanced work on a computer, not numbers on accounts. I could probably buy you anyway, and you probably have more than one product in your home and in your workplace that is designed, developed and/or refined by me, and you probably love it. As you love your shitty Mac. And it will survive you.

So you've shifted goalposts twice and are now just incoherently rambling about AI and personalized ads, purely because you couldn't be bothered to read the article. Got it.

No, it has many offline tools, including a copy of Wikipedia, but it can still use the internet if you allow it.

Read the list here.

It is a good way to lock down machines and not have them randomly installing programs you don't want installed.

The amount of effort people go through to defend Billionaires is unbelievable. I just can’t understand why you would even try.

After November 2021 all have immobilizers. Old key cars are now getting a software update. Not a true immobilizer.

Welcome to your government.

Of course, it's positive. It's a puff piece to get people to be okay with better marketing tailored to sound as human as possible. The problem is that people basically have created an information bubble around themselves. Not because the information isn't available, but because the first results they see are pre-filtered for them. What you see as a search result is going to be different than what I see. That makes it easier for half truths and outright lies to spread. Better ai is going to make it worse. That's if there isn't some sort of eu take on privacy in adopted.

Nothing like rewriting someone’s else’s article from the past.

Are they going to get to the moon by flapping their arms?

Where's the implication that it's a "problem" other than your own apparent perception of it?

The title and the article itself are both pretty neutral, if not slightly positive, towards it.

I’m not familiar with it, but it looks like it still allows wifi access, does it just not have browsers?

Because it uses locations services that you can disable?

Thats not the gotcha you think it is.

For third party apps? Sure. For their own products? Nope.

Ever wonder how Apple Maps knows where you live even though you never inputted that information?

Also how only in December of last year did Apple announce they were adding end to end encryption to iCloud, and this is after the whole CSAM scanning scandal. Will anyone be able to verify that the encryption is actually end to end and secure? No, since the client software is not open source, and therefore, cannot be publicly audited.

Apple is great at marketing, though, so they advertise that they respect privacy.

Apple maps was really rough when it launched, but these days the UI/street view is much better than Google. I just wish it had more user reported data like waze.

nah, no point in getting angry. macs are still toys, why don't you go play? even better, go buy a Switch, it has more features and better games.

yes my work. real work. premium work. professional work. not a browser and a video player.

if you had benefits, it means your work is not advanced. go play

I’ve taken chatgpt for a spin and was underwhelmed by the results. It’s possible that I’m not using it “right” but it seems very limited. What you can and can’t ask from it is hardcoded in and it’s really shitty. They are so afraid of being sued, that they won’t allow you to prompt it to criticize religious or government figures, predict sports outcomes, or anything that can be seen as “controversial “. I find that pretty ridiculous. It’s a free AI service, not some expert who is giving advice for money.

Apple is actually one of the few big tech companies that handles user privacy and security very well…

But my point is, why is this a problem when basically a less advanced form of data collection and use is already being done? Public outrage should have already taken place if people cared. I don't think people will move to block this. They may feign outrage then use it anyway. I don't see what is going to get folks to really fight especially since it will be better at disguising the "ai" part in a response.

It's like you didn't read the article. This has nothing to do with rockets.

This article is a couple of months old, why are you dredging it up now?

ChatGPT seems to be ahead of Google, as Bing has already launched a public trial of their own version. For Apple to successfully enter the search engine competition, they will need a similar offering right from the start.
