Unmasking the Privacy Risks of Apple Intelligence

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-10 15:36:51

Executive Summary Lumia’s Research Team revealed that messages dictated via Siri, including WhatsApp and iMessage are not sent to the Private Cloud Compute. In fact, there is no assurance as to what Apple does with these messages. Siri transmits metadata about installed and active apps without the user’s ability to control these privacy settings. Audio playback metadata such as ‘recording names’, is sent without consent. No user control or visibility exists over these background data flows.

Hi HN, we’re Ben and Connor, the co-founders of Skope ( https://www.useskope.com/ ), a billing system that supports outcome-based pricing for software—that is, which charges your customers only when your software actually works. We’re an alternative to Stripe Billing, Orb, and Metronome that natively supports this pricing model, because we believe it’s especially needed for the AI products which are flooding the market and that will continue to be built in the future.

Can AI Predict Powerball Numbers?

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-11-11 02:25:17

With the Powerball ballooning to $650 million after Wednesday’s drawing, hopeful players have been asking: Is winning the lottery a matter of luck or something that science and artificial intelligence can predict? Three students at the University of Salento in southern Italy say that science wins out. They say they used AI to analyze patterns from past draws to predict future winning numbers. Their experimental approach resulted in a €43,000 jackpot in April, which now has people wondering if

Hello, and welcome to Decoder! This is Alex Heath, your Thursday episode guest host and deputy editor at The Verge. One of the biggest topics in AI these days is agents — the idea that AI is going to move from chatbots to reliably completing tasks for us in the real world. But the problem with agents is that they really aren’t all that reliable right now.

AWS CEO says using AI to replace junior staff is 'Dumbest thing I've ever heard'

Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman has suggested firing junior workers because AI can do their jobs is "the dumbest thing I've ever heard." Garman made that remark in conversation with AI investor Matthew Berman, during which he talked up AWS’s Kiro AI-assisted coding tool and said he's encountered business leaders who think AI tools "can replace all of our junior people in our company." That notion led to the “dumbest thing I've ever heard” quote, followed by a justification that junior staf

Hank Green’s Focus Friend swapped my screen time for bean time

Earlier this week, a bean moved into my phone. Their name is Billie Bean King, and when I’m working, they work too, knitting socks and scarves. Billie’s knitted wares are more than just cozy clothes — they’re currency, used to buy lo-fi decorations for their barren room. But there’s a catch: Billie can only work when I’m not using my phone. That’s where the fun begins. Billie is a bean from the Focus Friend app, launched last month for iOS and Android by Hank Green of assorted internet fame. Th
