I mean you, and a few others keep claiming this bullshit: "Apple is closing off Siri AI from Musk, Altman and Zuckerberg"
Literally no one asks Apple to open Siri AI to Musk, Zuckerberg or to anyone else.
What do you suppose I should call people who claim this bullshit?

I know. And still Apple "protector of the children" doesn't offer this functionality anywhere. And a lot of other functionality is piecemeal scattered around the world, and only when governments finally force them to. E.g. https://mjtsai.com/blog/2025/03/14/dma-compliance-default-maps-app-in-eu/

And again, it's not for *Apple* to chose AI companies (or any other companies) for their users.

But hey, "think of the children"

Now Apple is putting the extensive identifiable analytics they collect in the App Store in action. They record every tap and there's no way to turn it off. They can even calculate your typing speed. This is what the App Store sends to Apple when I searched for "Tim cook":

To screenshot-quote just one paragraph
Yesterday Apple announced a big step towards deploying real AI in their Siri ecosystem. The deal describes a partnership with Google to inject that company’s advanced LLM models into Siri. In…
