@GaryMarcus @elonmusk Gary, don't miss the forest for the trees on this development. It normalizes a dual use technology way before we've sorted out how to handle the risks as a society.

@Apple needs to account for that, not just the next quarterly earnings.

I think @elonmusk owes Apple an apology. I won’t say this is perfect (hackers will inevitably find problems), but it seems to me to be quite thoughtfully conceived, and likely is state of the art.

This is from Apple's State of the Union

The local model is a 3B parameter SLM that uses adapters trained for each specific feature. Diffusion model does the same thing, adapter for each style.

Anything running locally or Apple's Secure Cloud is an Apple model, not OpenAI.

The statement appears to be part of a broader conversation about Apple's technology and its implications for privacy and societal norms. The tone is somewhat informal and includes a metaphorical reference to 'nontoxic pizza glue,' which seems to imply potential complications or issues with Apple's approach. The intent seems to be to critique Apple's handling of privacy and normalization of technology without fully addressing societal risks.
