    I always think the best company to own an alway-on agent should be Apple, who owns the platform and is more privacy-focused. I hope they catch up and eventually eliminate others.

      I agree in spirit. But I’m also most worried about prompt injection attacks given the agent had access to all my stuff, and it seems frontier labs will be best equipt to handle prevention of that.

        Can you stop shilling your thing in the comments? One mention is enough. It's annoying behavior.

      They are the only company I would trust with this kind of personal information because they make a lot of money selling hardware. The incentives line up for them to support privacy.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple sold their trusted compute solution, alongside their rumored AI platform.

        That’s the beauty of already having power - you can be patient, let others burn money for which you can leverage their learnings and woosh.

          > let others burn money

          And Apple has ~39.5bil in cash, too.
