Elon Musk threatens to ban Apple devices at his companies over OpenAI integration

A hot potato: It's no secret that Elon Musk really isn't a fan of OpenAI – as evidenced by his lawsuit against the company. Apple's partnership with the ChatGPT maker seems to have riled the billionaire even more, to the point where he has threatened to ban iPhones from all his companies.

Apple's partnership with OpenAI was only talked about for around two minutes during Cupertino's World Wide Developers Conference yesterday. Apple is integrating ChatGPT into Siri, though this will be an optional feature. If Siri determines it will help answer a query, the assistant will first ask a user for permission to access the chatbot. Users will also have to confirm they are okay with sending photos, PDFs, or other documents to ChatGPT.

Apple is presenting this partnership as a safer, more privacy-focused way to use AI, but Musk isn't convinced. "If Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, then Apple devices will be banned at my companies. That is an unacceptable security violation," he wrote in a post on X.

In a follow-up post, Musk wrote that any visitors to his companies will have to check their Apple devices at the door, where they will be stored in a Faraday cage.

"It's patently absurd that Apple isn't smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy!" Musk added.

Musk also replied to a post from YouTube tech star Marques Brownlee that summarized what Apple calls Apple Intelligence. "Apple using the words "protect your privacy" while handing your data over to a third-party AI that they don't understand and can't themselves create is *not* protecting privacy at all!" he wrote. Brownlee pointed out that Tim Cook told him Apple never sends user data to OpenAI without asking first.

Apple writes that privacy protections are built in for users who access ChatGPT, including obscuring IP addresses and OpenAI not storing requests. The feature arrives in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia later this year, and users can access it for free without creating an account – ChatGPT subscribers can connect their accounts and access paid features.

Musk was one of the co-founders, backers, and initial board members of OpenAI, departing the company in 2018 over what he said was a conflict of interest with Tesla. He sued the firm and CEO Sam Altman earlier this year, claiming the pair have breached their original contractual agreements by putting profit ahead of developing AI that benefits humanity.

You're confused. Elon exposing --- and halting -- Twitter's illegal collusion with the US DOJ to silence political opponents and free speech is the exact opposite of "Nazism".
Yeah, notice how he got community noted on his own platform in the embedded tweet above. He is in favor of this. If he (or anyone) says something misleading, he will be corrected with a voice that's equal in placement to his own.
 
Cool story bro.
Thanks! It's even cooler when you realize it's all true.

CBS News: "...In the case of the New York Post story about Hunter Biden's laptop, the internal documents show that Twitter "took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be 'unsafe.' ...

"They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography,"....

Also: "...Latest Twitter Files shows CIA, FBI have spent years meddling in content moderation... The CIA has been meddling in Twitter’s internal content moderation for years, according to the latest dispatches from Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” .... “I invited the FBI and the CIA virtually will attend too,” [Senior Twitter Executive] Cardille wrote to her colleagues ...From that point, “regular meetings of the multi-agency Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF)” — attended by Twitter and “virtually every major tech firm [including] Facebook, Microsoft, Verizon, Reddit, even Pinterest, and many others” — had “FBI personnel, and – nearly always – one or two attendees marked ‘OGA’.” (a euphism for the CIA)..."

When Da Muskovite speaks, you MUST listen !

But is it REALLY him, or some AI-generated copy of him making assumptions about what we should or should not do...

and just remember: X marks the spot !

If only we could get access to that laptop, we would find out so much, like who killed JFK, what really happened in Area 13 or whatever it's called. The Epstein files Trump won't release if he becomes president ( Faux doctored story to say he will )

No one cares about Hunter, if he goes to jail for doing what 20 other million at least Americans do ( lying on the their gun applications ), no one cares, Plenty of POC, poor people have been done over by a dreadful inbuilt inequality legal system already. Generating some of the worse outcomes for society in the western world

That's the thing with Qnon people, its all empty go no-where BS . Oh we are special star belly sneetches all in the know, just wait to it all comes out. When do these cult members wake up and realise the emperor has no clothes ? and even more importantly their it's their own whining, self pity that is holding them back - They took my jobs.
Mostly whiny "victims" . with some real stuff that needs to be addressed lost in the noise and their representatives don't get enough kickbacks or or too lazy to do that unsexy stuff

The average American must be appalled at how their representatives behave in congressional meetings, hearings , no matter their leanings

After gullibly believing the media's absurd "Russia faked Hunter's laptop" story for so long, it must have been quite a shock to you when the FBI not only confirmed it was authentic, but that its contents had been verified against Hunter's iCloud account.

20 million Americans didn't commit felony tax fraud and tax evasion, nor money laundering, corruption, bribery, failure to register as a foreign agent, and human trafficking (all crimes that Biden's DOJ attempted to give Hunter immunity for).

But don't try to change the subject. The issue isn't Hunter -- it's the fact that Twitter illegally colluded with the FBI to silence not just this story, but hundreds of others which were equally true, but damaging to one political party.

Still don't care about Hunter.
Yeah and Elon is still censoring X , nothing has changed. Think the french say it better

"Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
ie Musk is a big cry baby, can't even play by his own rules, or handle truthful criticism

Don't really care about Elon either, except he has power to make people's lives inherently worse, more angry and soul destroying.

Elon does not care about you, all these tech Billionaires have done bad stuff, except if sold early and invested ethically ( led relatively normal lives )

Hunter/FBI is one you bring up often, I have my pet peeves as well - no one cares about my BS Apple hatred
