 Privacy preserving.... You believe them? 
 ...Because you have to trust them.  Can't audit their tech at all.  Big black hole with a loud microphone apple is. 
 You can read about their entire stack, its not just belief, they are opening it to researchers: 

https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/

Its extremely impressive 
 That's why I say: if it works in actuality the way they present it in theory, I'm fine with it. 
 Even if they used half the techniques they described in this post it would already be a huge privacy improvement over the way people are using ai today. 
 I use my own llms on ollama.ai .  100% private and open source. 
 Again, they may open their stack for use (APIs or whatever) but can you audit the code?  
 Did @NVK stole Will’s nsec? 
 Actually here it is not entirely true. The remote AI vComputer will be open to audit. I just talking about that with couple of Engineers at Apple today for the WWDC. 
 Open to audit by “experts” , so we need to “trust” what we can’t ourselves verify?
