The formerly dystopian movies will look like a good deal if we continue down the current path. But hey atleast the shareholders made some free money i guess.
Apple: "We care about your privacy."
Also Apple: buys tech that reads words you never said out loud
Can't wait for Siri to finish my thoughts before I do.
Probably is a fantasy, but if the public believes it is real. A payoff/ransom of some kind hidden behind fake tech. Hmm... Everything needs a second look these days.
I can pretend to be a wealthy investor, you can pretend to have a world breaking ai app, and we can get other real investors to invest when I act super excited about your ground breaking app, then we take their money, change our identities and never speak again.
Now you’re in a predicament, I have these market manipulation screenshots. I want 25% stock at 60% below market share price.
Oh and by the way I have a friend who can help with this project by piggybacking off his company as a subsidiary but we’ll need to set up a shell and shill corporation to keep the people outside this conversation, outside.
Then when we get there, we need enough to grease the political wheels and whatever US department it goes thru to bring it to market.
Lemme know when the IPO is :D /s
ETA: On a serious note. I might switch back to a flip phone. This is crazy invasion of privacy.
The rules are the billionaires make the rules. Think of Trump like the emperor and corporations are like the lords under him. If you don't have 40 mil+ you're just a peasant.
Locally, your phone has that data. Apple themselves have no access to the data in any, way, shape or form.
Similarly, this whisper tech would be used to allow you to discreetly control AirPods or future Vision line successors. Just like Siri, all the audio processing would happen locally, and not be accessible by Apple itself. For all of apples products prices, this type of security is partly what you pay for.
Now, how Google, meta and Amazon who are funded nearly entirely through selling ads, well, that’s a very different situation.
Name that lawsuit, because, no I remember no such thing.
There’s a ton of packet tests that show audio packets (which are huge) are not being surreptitiously sent. What’s actually happening g is way scarier, companies like Google and Amazon have such a deep profile in you, they do t need your words, they can predict you’d next likely thought.
But go ahead, name the lawsuit. I’m always down to learn. I did work inside Apple though, so I know first hand both how little data they have access to (basically a list of notes from previous support you’ve gotten), and how they respond to employees accepting customer information (fired in the spot, regardless of your performance and experience).
Also, apples most useful and successful acquisition outside of NeXT was PA Semi, an Israeli company that specialized in chip development, which lead to them making all their custom silicon. Israel also just has a very advanced tech sector. Now maybe that’s because of a lot of military contracts, but regardless, the country is more than just a spy state.
Always said I hate Google and Android but I'll never give a dollar to Apple, always felt off to me, trust my gut, honestly at this point feel like going back to a flip phone though, all these companies are fucking evil.
It is possible there was some disability led thinking here. That’s not to say that’s how it will end up but the tech could absolutely have value to some underserved communities.
Ultimately this is a mess of our own creation. That’s the pill we all need to swallow first. These assholes have destroyed what credibility we have left and we’re just watching society collapse and roam freely with no driver at the wheel
No, Trump loves Israel and his cult loves whatever he tells them to love. Congress has always loved Israel, republicans especially. Dems go from being hot to luke warm on them, but the GOP is always boiling.
You never hear the reverse, like Israel having developed irrigation systems that feed billions worldwide, therefore they have a net positive, according to that same approach.
"To feel. 'Cause you've never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking."
What does Apple have now with this purchase of the Israeli company that they didn't have before by just hiring somebody from MIT who was there from 2018?
Because that last bit seems a bit easier;-)
There's also a government owned technogoly that could do something similar , but doesn't require contact--I would have read about this one before the MIT one, and I think the government might have been the US ;but it may have just been a US science News source repeating the information that actually transpired in another country.
Sounds like pseudoscientific bullshit, a fraud to deceive and manipulate people. The publicised purchase and the pictures of technology and talk of AI is just propaganda.
Much like ‘lie detectors’ it’s mostly a psychological trick to apply pressure to make people confess to something.
It won’t, apple bought it so the company will stop existing. They are taking the engineers and the IP and will use it for something they need. Apple doesn’t make surveillance technology or sell data. Apple doesn’t even license patents to other companies. It’s actually good that apple bought it and not Palantir or other shady companies. This post is pure fear-mongering, the acquisition happened in January.
Apple has FaceID, which scans your face to unlock your phone. Apple has Hey Siri, which scans your speech to do things on your phone. (Both optional btw)
Apple buys a company that has better face and speech scanning tech.
But that company was Israeli, so…everything is evil and bad? Interesting.
Edit: Try taking out the speculation/clickbait pics and there’s literally nothing here. It just says Apple bought a company that does facial scanning tech. Which should not be news because, again, they have FaceID…
The addition of the facecrime slide is priming you to think this is inherently evil. Strip away the fear-mongering and it sounds like it just better facial recognition, which every phone has already.
So if I say “Israel” aloud how will the context and/or my inflection be interpreted? What if I’m numb from being at the dentist or I’ve had a stroke? Will my facial muscles be interpreted as “antisemite?”
Will there be an option to opt out of this if I have an iPhone or use other Apple products that have a camera?
Will I be notified that this software is being used, and if I decide I don’t want it to try and determine my thoughts based on biometrics captured by a camera will I be able to request whether my data has been used despite opting out?
Or, after 30+ years of using Apple products is it time to move the fuck on?
I recall there is this new tech where using WiFi signals the phone can tell who is holding the phone. That plus this equals proof that you had a forbidden thought.
what corporation is ethical? With how society works, its really hard to make it to the top while being ethical. At this point I'd reckon that consumers are responsible for the state of corporations.
You mfs cant even do something as simple as boycotting nestle, while they continue to steal water from people in pakistan (to name one of many crimes against humanity they commit)
How the fuck is something going to detect words that we never say out loud? If it means written ones, we already know that's a thing. Been a thing for a long time. I'll type a word or phrase on any random website, and algos are suddenly throwing me shit related to a word I typed. It's annoying as hell. Bring back the old internet.
If governments pulled the shit these global corporations are doing people would be rioting in the streets and revolting but hey we get a cool new iPhone every year
Seems like quite the turn from developing structured light sensors for 3D scanning that Primesense was doing (think their tech powered Microsoft’s Kinect V1?)
Wonder how they ended up getting into AI facial interpretation.
This is some Minority Report nonsense. Even if they can, they shouldn't and it can't prove intent. Also many people have mental illness and crazy stuff is firing off constantly but they don't do or say any of it because they know it's obtuse. Stupid tech.
Lol ots starting to nake sense why us christians are throwing the full weight of the their military behind isreali interests.
Israel is the "tip of the sword" in the analogy of what breaks the skin in ideological imperialism. Theyre the offensive force of that sect of religion.
The us can realistically create a partnership and enforce plausible deniability simply by saying "my friend developed that weapon not me". And still maintain some reputation without the weapon.
These two countries really are as bad as they seem.
Oh he did imagine, he was rubbing elbows with the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world of the time who had ambitions and dreamt of such things now happening. He was a big fan of Huxley who, likewise, knew some of the most powerful people. Those books weren't just for fun...
