   Oh, things are about to get worse with the new macOS "privacy/security" measures. They are going to curb agentic workflows even more. I don't know how Apple just finds new ways to annoy developers, but we're in a minority after all. Of 200 million Mac users, probably just up to 1 million are developers, and the rest are normies who can't tell when they should authorize or cancel the pop-up.

      I'd argue that a lot of developers can't determine if an LLM generated command is actually safe or not.

      Ah, if only that meant that there'll be less slop in the macOS code itself..

      Apple hates developers

         They love the ones that buy Apple hardware to develop apps for iDevices, pay the dev subscription and store fees for apps, or simply because they wanted a shiny UNIX and don't consider BSD/Linux OEMs worth their money.

      With LLMs, everyone's a developer now. Welcome to the mainstream.

      It’s not about privacy, it’s about kneecapping competitors, just like when they blocked the advertising ID but exempted themselves from this because “Apple is not a third-party, we’re a second-party”.

      Apple is an advertising company and thus inherently untrustworthy.
