How do you even compete with Apple? They have a vertically integrated stack from privacy preserving silicon to ai tech. I thought apple was going downhill, but now with private-cloud and ondevice intelligence, it makes my linux box + typing into chatgpt look like a joke.

You can read about their entire stack, its not just belief, they are opening it to researchers:
Private Cloud Compute: A new frontier for AI privacy in the cloud - Apple Security Research

Secure and private AI processing in the cloud poses a formidable new challenge. To support advanced features of Apple Intelligence with larger foun...
 Its extremely impressive
How long before they actually provide data to governments? Via backdoors or otherwise. At least in EU where there is no place for e2ee. no thanks. theirs business model is something I wouldn't touch with 5m stick.

How do you compete against them? Provide a similar platform that is open source and amenable to third party developers, forking, modifying, allowing markets to bloom. Provide the substrate for a complex adaptive system and it will devour the railroaded completion like complex adaptive systems always do.

Can't tell if this is serious or sarcasm. Also suspicious of sudden epiphanies like this. ChatGPT is a privacy headache but that doesn't drag Linux into the same label, nor does it make Apple the only alternative when there's a ton of local server options available... it takes a few seconds to download LM Studio or Ollama... there's no need for drama ,🦙.

They’re just really good at taking the time to ship great stuff, that’s often in service of some greater vision that’s visible only to a small number of the leadership. Jobs set up the factory and it’s still churning out unmatched products. Every engineer there gets the last ounce of effort squeezed out them by WWDC by the system he set up. It would be even better if Jobs was still around of course, albeit with a tad more burnout.
