Even a broken clock is right twice a day as the saying goes.

Though he's right for entirely the wrong reasons, I'm betting.

He believes a heavily embedded AI integration on iOS with a 3rd party is a violation of security and privacy... because its not his 3rd party being integrated with.

Didn't read the article, what is he right about?

In a series of posts on his social media platform X, Musk shared concerns about whether Apple and OpenAI will protect users’ information.

He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”

He doesn’t know how Apple will use the technology from OpenAI - it’s definitely possible they just license it and run it themselves. So he and we have too little information to judge whether he’s right or not.

And also come on, it’s obvious he is just using the attention Apple’s announcement received to ride their coattails for his own PR, and as we can see that unfortunately works.

Trust me, he’s not even a broken clock. He’d never right.

Just based on what I've seen from other AI implementations (including Windows Recall), it seems like he was at least right that it's a security nightmare.

I'm not saying he said that out of the goodness of his heart or whatever. He definitely only said it out of jealousy or some other self-serving reason.

My broken clock statement wasn't meant to be taken as a compliment. It's the opposite. He's been wrong so many times that I'd gotten used to just pointing and laughing at anything he says or does. And it's gotten to the point that I'm genuinely surprised he actually said something "right" for once, even if it was for his own selfish reasons.

I tried to explain that neither you, me, or him have any way of knowing what you say he’s right about. He and you are guessing.
