It wouldn’t automatically be shared with her. It’s all opt in. I would send an invite and she could accept it. Either of us could leave at any time. Once or twice a year my phone gives me a privacy review notification where it walks me through the data I’m sharing with apps and others, allowing me to change it.

If my wife decides to put the dog AirTag in my car, she could, but I could also check that any time I wanted. If I didn’t want her to see my location, I would check which devices are sharing location and where they are. Since it’s opt in and Apple has those periodic privacy reviews, I think the level of risk is low.

The current approach of spamming AirTag notifications when someone who lives with other iPhone users uses them creates a pattern where we learn to ignore them, which is a far bigger risk.

The only real alternative is to not have the technology exist at all. That’s not going to happen. I’d rather it be done by a responsible company like apple than someone who doesn’t take these precautions.

Well thats way too short a time.

Interesting take although I wouldn’t put art generation and software development in the same category.

I have mine on my cat - she is definitely stalking me. Even if she’s hiding somewhere she’s still well aware of where I am

It only does it for a day, so it will start notifying 24 hours later

I have to do this every few days for one

As I said, this is not as easy. A family account doesn’t force you to share your device location - you can just have it off and still be in the family account.

How does adding an AirTag work? Does it send a motivation to every family member that it was added? Does your wife say it’s for the dog, you agree to adding it, and suddenly it’s in your car stalking where you are driving while the dog is at home and there is no notification at all it’s with you?

I love how everyone focuses on apple trackors when there are 100s of different ones you can buy and use.

“Gonna write an article complaining about my edge-case situation and the step I refuse to take to resolve the issue voluntarily.” Wow. First world problems indeed.

That’s not really helped or hurt with shared tags. If my wife already shares her location with me, there is no added risk to her if our dog’s location is also shared.

You would still have to check the app ever now and then to see if your partner is stalking you, because it would not pro-actively trigger an alert right it does right now. I understand Apple, that this not as easy of a choice as it seams. Also probably hard to get if you’re not thinking in these scenarios or if you’re not affected by domestic abuse.

I thinks it's mainly good at making toy things in JS and Python. That is most code unfortunately though and a lot of devs are in for a rude shock when the demand for their work plummets. It's like how people were surprised that AI came for artists first. Your bread and butter art jobs don't require much creativity and similarly your bread and butter coding jobs don't require much engineering.

Tie executive compensation to the lowest paid or the average wage employees. Say a 10x cap. Your lowest paid employee makes $40k /yr, Executives can't make over $400k in total compensation. That's a bit low however, but if you made it based off of average employee compensation excluding VP and above, and it came out to say $80k/yr and made it like 15x you are looking at more like $1.2M/yr. Anyone who thinks $1.2M/yr in salary isn't fair(too low) is punch drunk on the kool-aid.

That's just Apple artificially defining how people should use a product that's otherwise self-evidently applicable to a broad domain of use-cases.

Apple can say "We don't want people using AirTags for anti-theft or pet tracking," but people do and will continue to, because they're perfect (but for the annoying notifications that bother legitimate users and alert thieves) for anti-theft and that sort of stuff.

Amen, brother (or sister)!

I would say the risk is the concentration of information in a single bot

One Medical will charge you a monthly subscription fee just to make appointments to see their doctors/nurses. Then they will bill your insurance as usual and collect a copay.

What I don't understand is how this business model does not constitute insurance billing fraud?

If they participate on your insurance panel then the fees are supposed to align with the insurance Explanation of Benefits, aren't they?

I think big games like call of duty and madden are the "big pot of spaghettis" of video games, easy, simple, and widely consumable. It would be silly to not be able to market with them given how much of a staple they are, I agree with you a billion percent though. I like the companies who definitely have an aesthetic/trend going on that isn't just "pump out same game every year".

(And I havn't played it because fps aren't my thing, but I'd watch stuff like platoon over cod any day)

Terminator was just a movie. The real world destroying, life ruining monsters are humans.

From the article,

"MB.OS is designed and developed in-house to retain full control over the customer relationship, ensure data privacy, and to leverage the unique integration of all car functions."

I guess "all car functions" will most likely be "leveraged" for separate fees eventually.

AirTags only notify you if an AirTag that isn't yours is following you without the owner nearby. So riding together it wouldn't notify that it's following.

Not entirely disagreeing with you. But these language models are still new to being used for these purposes, and the most popular one rn was trained of information that’s a few years old.

I think with time not only will the training for responses improve, but equally important, people will improve with the prompts they write. It is quite possible to that these language models improve beyond modern day search. Especially since modern day search, seems to have gotten worse over the past decade.

Apple does give you the option to not have a specific AirTag notify you though.
