    Though I praise the ethical stand point that Apple has taken, doing so will ensure their loss. The data that these companies will provide will be infinitely smaller than the huge mountains of data that companies such as OpenAI and Google have.

    Also, having to rely on third parties will only slow them down. There are claims that regulations will be passed which may hinder companies such as Google which is scraping the internet for data, I assure you nothing like that will happen in the states. Currently, the world is in a race and no country can afford to be behind, no government (barring EU, duh) is foolish enough to hinder this fledgling field.

    Also, Apple is a hardware company unlike Google which is a true software company, they have more areas to integrate and monetise AI.
    So in short Apple should steal it? Apple can't win either way they go? By the way the quality of the data is more important than the quantity of data. Building anything in AI is going to require brains, focus, iteration and discipline.
    What good is artificially handicapping yourself, when at this point we can't even say if it's legal or not. Apple is only hurting itself.

    Google has decades worth of data and their deepmind division is the leader in AI research. The only reason they were behind OpenAI is because they were caught by surprise and are quickly catching up.

    Nothing is stopping Apple from scraping the web, like the others do. They probably have been doing that already for years with their search engine. This deal would expose fresh content that is usually behind paywalls, and Apple would potentially get that first. Also, if Apple makes a deal with the publishers, those publishers might want to see money from competitors like Google and OpenAI to let them keep access.
    Scraping data isn't enough as LLMs have to be trained with it for efficiency ana and accuracy, AI is something where Apple has historically lagged behind, they aren't doing themselves favours by going this route.

    Also, if content creators start charging money then only Apple, Google and Microsoft will be able to pay which will automatically kill all other competition.I don't really want that to happen.

  • If you want blue iMessage bubbles that much, buy an iPhone

    I have seen Apple users more worried about this than Android users, who have endured green bubble stigma for so long that they no longer care.

    On a funny note, I know a guy who works in an Apple store who says that iPhone users are the most worried when their iMessage fails and they show up as green bubbles, more so than even actual problems such as broken screens or components.

    Following all of this on Reddit and other sites has made me realise that it's actually Apple users who care more about bubble colours to the point that a 9to5mac user wants to sue the DOJ and the FTC if they play any part in Android users getting blue bubbles.

    Seeing all of this makes me want to see Apple launch an Android client for iMessage.
    Yes, that much is quite evident at this point.
