So it sends everything you say to Apple. Brilliant.
I’m presuming that they know I don’t want this and just want to sell my data, or worse?
This is hard as shit to avoid when your job requires you to use a Iphone, but they dont want you to download “the Chinese apps” 😑
Fucking ridiculous.
Not creepy at all
Where’s all the people from here now who praised Apple and vowed their next phone will be an Iphone after Google announced their mandatory developer verification?
Guess I now need to avoid all iPhone users.
Give me the source code or it’s not running locally on device!
Gross and weird.
Ew. No.
Apple learning from LG and put their own icing on it. Disgusting.
‘It happens on device’ - riiighhttt…
‘It happens on device’
… before sending it to Apple and 3,000+ data brokers and palantir!
fixed
fuck this with a fork
Ulgh.
In some sense, I’m simultaneously trying to stay aware of specific features and companies that I want to register displeasure of, but also there are clearly underlying technologies that are part of an open Pandora’s box. We all need to realize that the ubiquity of microphones, data transfer, and AI summarization means that we need to be prepared to live in this world. We can work to hold certain companies accountable, but there’s no going back to a time when it wasn’t possible for a bad actor to record a room full of hundreds of people in a union hall or socialist meeting and then afterwards try and identify voices and build summaries over time of who are the most influential members and things like this. These are technologies that we’re going to have to figure out how to navigate.
Lol, somebody you don’t know knows where you’re at right now. Literally, your exact location right now. And where you’ve been today, and everywhere you’ve been for the last year. And where you’re most likely going in the next few hours. Everything you’ve bought, said, and texted. What vehicles you own, your entire family and relationship history. Your dna, fingerprint, retina pattern, and medical history. And on and on.
And we just keep giving it to them.
I mean, you are absolutely correct in your statement but people have no idea how much of the infrastructure is already in place and humming along. Our only monetary grace is that it still revolves around merchants and different data points are consolidated in various countries rather than accessible by any one group worldwide. Yet. But you can buy profiles of anyone. Well, we can’t but governments can.
International corporations are pushing this hard, and have been laying the ground work for the last 20 years, and their biggest clients, countries, are eating it up.
All this stuff coming up recently about mics in your electronics, flock cameras, AI in everything, is just a tiny icicle sticking up from the massive glacier that is the data collection that has been going full steam since the 2000s. We are surprised miners standing around a recently discovered dead canary trying to decide if we should exit the mine.
The trap has already been sprung.
With a hammer.
Pretty sure we already saw long ago how it can fuck them up as well.
Including your banking information, great!
Yes, because I have absolutely read aloud my banking/credit card information at all in the last 10 years…
