Comment on Apple wants AI to run directly on its hardware instead of in the cloud

  They do say that they have privacy in mind. And they are also collecting the same data of their users as Google. Don’t be too jealous, they suck just as much as your next Android-Phone company. But with a higher price tag and a walled garden.

  Google is already doing this.

  I would change to apple if it weren’t for a few annoying bits, mostly to do with the walled garden. Like the appletv I have has a terrible input for typing unless you have an iPhone…so now I want neither.

    I like to own my stuff and have control of it install install whatever I want.

      Yeah but android is owned by an advertising company, all they want is data. Apple has a better system and less need to push for more data.

        Apple is also an advertizing company, and walled garden ecosystem makes it harder to avoid its reach.

        Android is not owned by Google, but used and heavily supported by Google. It is open source, you can check how much data bare Android is collecting.

        And ‘all they want is data’ is wrong, too, all they want is money. Same with Apple, all they want is money. And if they get more money by collecting user data to target more people to buy Apple products, they will do that.

        But I can removed them instead Apple if they want to track you cant remove it from there. Even on their secure mode the DNS was reaching to Apple servers.

    I’m in the same boat, but it seems to be some things they’re going to change in 2024. Namely, sideloading apps, actual Firefox with add-ons, and the ability to actually move app icons wherever I want on the home screen (not sure if that’ll change ever).

    They’ve already gone to USB-C, which was the main reason I never would have switched over.

      Even with all those changes I wouldn’t change.

      Sideloading’s possible and surprisingly easy on iOS even for non-technical folks, I use AltStore but I thinks there’s other options. Don’t know what I’d without uYou+ or TikTok LRD

  Funny that you mention it, a few months ago when updating stuff I got a new feature on my Android phone… Offline subtitle generation based on audio, just realtime generated from anything outputing sound on my phone.

  A Google search suggests this might be an older feature - not sure if my phone didn’t support it, or if I maybe just missed it, or if they added a more obvious button.

  Google has a separate app for that stuff, called Private Compute Services. Right now it’s nothing like an offline Google assistant replacement, but I thought it’s really nice to have that stuff available without relying on internet access.

    Did you try to turn off the internet to see if it actually works? That’s pretty amazing thank you for sharing!
