      I meant more if you have knowledge about something that wasn’t publicly known. This was 7 years ago and got btfo’d, hence the article about the firings you posted. Also everyone I know turns off Siri because it is useless.

        They got btfo’d and then 1 months later they hired the same people through some other contractors to do the exact same thing. I knew them well.

      That’s known. Siri data is kept for improving the models through human labeling. It’s not like it was hidden, just read the damn privacy policy.

      If that’s your magical source as an insider, I’m sorry, but you’re bullshitting. That didn’t prove anything you said too

      It’s not spying as it wasn’t their goal. It sure is shit, but you can’t compare that to the stuff Microslop and Google do

        That’s not the problem. With the false positive they were hearing people during everyday interactions. I remember my colleague bothered by the fact they were hearing people having sex, talking about drugs, all the while with personal information written on screen.

        Do you want some guy in Apple headquarter hears some random snippet of your life because you pronounced the word “Shiny” and the model messed up?

          I disabled that voice activation feature for this exact reason, but yea, what’s shitty is that people had not been clearly informed at all
