When Apple inevitably partners with OpenAI or Anthropic, which by their definition isnt doing "ethical crawling", I wonder how I should be reading that.

[jhickok]

They already partnered with OpenAI, right?

To use their APIs at a discount, so what?

Apple aren’t paying OpenAI anything:

That's a big discount

[aydyn]

They paid in exposure, unironically.

[badwolf]

That's quite a discount! ;)

In theory Apple could provide their training data to be used by OpenAI/Anthropic.

[bitpush]

It isn't "apple proprietary" data to give it to OpenAI.

Also the bigger problem is, you can't train a good model with smaller data. The model would be subpar.

I mean they also buy from companies with less ethical supply chain practices than their own. I don’t know that I need to feel anything about that beyond recognizing there’s a big difference between exercising good practices and refusing to deal with anyone who does less.

Same way as the other parts of their supply chain I suppose.
