Support the ResistanceI'm on my laptop almost all day. I also have my TV on in the backgroundRecently, I'll say after the 1st update that added <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> Intelligence, Siri just randomly pops up like it's waiting for me to say something I tell <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Siri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Siri</a> to stop listening? Does anyone else do this? I rarely talk to my computer. I won't say never, bec I often swear or comment on stupid things I readIs Siri responding to my occasional rant or to the TV? Because I live alone, I don't want to disable Siri <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/eavesdropping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eavesdropping</a>

Andy Warburton ❌❌❌Do you think at some point in the near future you will be able to buy off the shelf <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> servers for home use that deploy as easily as a home-security NVR and have local voice control satellites / speakers / sensors (for example as easily as Reolink home security systems) effectively giving you the same power as <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chatgpt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chatgpt</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/alexa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alexa</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/siri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#siri</a> etc but totally local to your home?

Sean O'Brien🍏 Apple may call itself "The Privacy Company" But a $95M <a href="https://privacysafe.social/tags/Siri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Siri</a> settlement over eavesdropping says otherwise.

Milcom MiasmaDear Apple,When you finally do deliver your new AI for the iPhone, it's really important that you make sure the off switch works.

Chris Smart, ve3rwjI just asked <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iOS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/Siri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Siri</a> the following question: "What date is the second Tuesday in March?" She responded with: "I can use ChatGPT to answer that. You can enable ChatGPT on your iPhone." Um, no thanks, Siri. Talk about useless! I then figure out the date, and ask Siri: "What day of the week is March 11, 2025?" and she responds with "It's Tuesday, March 11, 2025."

Coach Pāṇini ®Apple's "Siri: Learn From This App" feature is enabled by default for every app on your device. Siri is analyzing your interactions with apps, including banking, email, and messaging apps, unless you manually opt out one app at a time.To turn it off:1. Go to Settings. 2. Open Apps. 3. Select an app, then go to Siri settings. 4. Disable "Learn From This App".There's NO global toggle.<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Siri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Siri</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a>

Kagan MacTane (he/him)You may have seen the headline about how Siri was listening in on people's private conversations, and as a result, Apple has to pay a US$95 million fine:<a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/apple-agrees-to-pay-95m-delete-private-conversations-siri-recorded/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/apple-agrees-to-pay-95m-delete-private-conversations-siri-recorded/</a>(BTW, congratulations to the people who have been worried their phones were listening to them and figuring out what ads to show them.

David ChartierI get the idea that <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> likely settled this lawsuit without trying to disprove that it sells our <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Siri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Siri</a> conversations to advertisers because quick settlements often make situations like this go away.But I have to wonder if this was an error in judgement. Apple built so much of its reputation on privacy, and this “sweep it under the rug, nothing to see here” tactic now only makes me more curious and concerned.I hope people more capable than me are too.<a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/apple-agrees-to-pay-95m-delete-private-conversations-siri-recorded/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/apple-agrees-to-pay-95m-delete-private-conversations-siri-recorded/</a>

Andre Louisgoogle assistant on my Android phone got switched to Gemini and became utterly incompetent as a result. Makes <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Siri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Siri</a> look smart. Before it could play stuff from TuneIn just by me asking, start streaming to google speakers around the house, now it just insists on playing something via Youtube music or whatever spesh thing it's on today, and that's taken over my home button from what was a perfectly usable assistant before... What the friggin actual?
