According to the keynote at least, the integration is literally just Siri offering to defer to ChatGPT for some requests. Basically a more advanced version of “here’s what I found on the web” if it doesn’t know what to do otherwise.

Funnily enough, Apple isn’t even paying OpenAI for that, they’re literally saying it’s for exposure.

Your reply refers to a “junior who is nervous” and “how the sausage is made”, which makes no sense in the context of someone who just has to review code

They’re saying developers dislike having to review other code that’s unfamiliar to them, not having their code reviewed.

Not to mention the law firm they hired advertises anti-union action, so that should tell you whether they can be trusted to be fair to workers…

Well yes, I was simplifying because I wanted to address the main (incorrect) criticism by @spartanatreyu@programming.dev. I agree with your comment

Yeah, in Java calling first() on a stream is the same as an early return in a for-loop, where for each element all of the previous stream operations are applied first.

So the stream operation

cars.stream()
    .filter(c -> c.year() < 1977)
    .first()

is equivalent to doing the following imperatively

for (var car : cars) {
    if (car.year() < 1977) return car;
}

Not to mention Kotlin actually supports non-local returns in lambdas under specific circumstances, which allows for even more circumstances to be expressed with functional chaining.

…what? At least with Java Streams or Kotlin Sequences, they absolutely abort early with something like .filter().first().

If you read the linked article you will find that exterior cameras feeds are plenty invasive enough.

I don’t think they have interior cameras (although other manufacturers do), but the front and backup camera feeds provide plenty of information as well.

Then there’s also this, if you need any more reason to be concerned.

Their privacy policy includes a provision that they can use the cameras and GPS to infer things such as sexual orientation, so yeah.

Windows Recall, the screengrabber they were about to release with an unencrypted database as an opt-out feature.

I mean, in 2012 they didn’t even have 2FA yet. Also IIRC they haven’t started really leaning into the privacy angle until maybe around 2019-20 publicly, and from there it probably wasn’t the highest priority item for the security team. Not excusing how long it took, but they are a business after all and with how scary the warnings around ADP are I doubt it’s a very marketable feature with a lot of reach.

This article is very outdated and nowadays you can actually encrypt your entire iCloud and be the only key holder. You will get multiple strong warnings in the UI about the possibility of losing access to your account.

If you enable “Advanced Data Protection” (E2EE for your entire iCloud) Apple tells you they will not have the keys and you’re on your own if you lose access to all devices that hold them (or forget their passwords, respectively). This feature was introduced last year.

Some Left Winger sees a Right Winger say something they don’t like. The Left Winger can’t counter it

Many right wing positions are very easy to counter with scientific evidence– climate change, crime rates, public health policy, social programs…

So if you think the “Left Winger” can’t counter it… do you not consider evidence-based arguments to be legitimate?
