Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…
What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!
I’m with Alex and Jason. For things like image generation, which I’ll probably be sharing with the greater world, I’m fine with providing the prompts to a cloud AI engine. For health data, personal data, calendar etc. that is going to stay with me or at the most with a company I trust to keep it safe, and there are very few of those. Apple does a fairly good job and I am happy to use Apple Health, but I wouldn’t trust that data to FitBit, Strava or others, for example.

“Apple’s advantage is decades of privacy first development.”
We seem to have forgotten that Apple stumbled into privacy with the failure of iAds and, ironically, that being seen by their users as a virtue rather than a shortcoming. iAds was last-decade, so it’s not like privacy as such has been a part of Apple since Jobs came back. Rather, Apple wanted to control their own destiny and would not partner with anyone they didn’t have to - and even then, only as long as it took them to render that partner unnecessary. That’s not privacy-first, and certainly not over decades.

Completely agree with Jason - Apple’s biggest challenge is adapting their corporate culture to the demands of today.
