Newsletter: Apple's AI announcement suggests that they're distancing themselves from the AI bubble, framing AI as a product feature rather than the next big thing- and how OpenAI agreed to one of the worst deals in tech history to barely integrate ChatGPT.

Despite this being Apple's big step into artificial intelligence, their AI announcement was extremely reserved. Every single AI feature was constantly couched with promises about privacy and safety, almost as if Apple didn't want to commit to the AI boom.

This sounds like Apple is getting ready to buy either Paramount or Warner Bros and keeping their politics clean for regulators and Hollywood. Also, when do people realize that over the top greed creeps like Altman, Musk, Trump, Putin inevitably make terrible dealmakers when they’re in charge?

Fine, let Apple prove its bona fides by allowing us to delete Siri and every other part of their surveillance ware.

Most other companies are treating AI as a mill into which they insert cash & customer data, and hope more cash magically comes out the other side than they put in. I was initially worried Apple would huff the same AI glue, but their approach is much more reasoned, while respecting user privacy…
