@EUCommission it's not for you to choose what options a provider give us. If we trust Apple to give us the right choice, it should be our choice as consumer to buy their products with the feature set complete.
You meddling with a free market and telling a private enterprise how they should build their products is a scary thing for a regulatory body to do.
let the market choose on its own.
@webjac @EUCommission But there is no such thing as 'the market'. And better don't trust apple.

@webjac @EUCommission That’s exactly the point, to be able to have the choice to select which AI we get to use on our devices, and if Siri is actually the best and the most privacy focused, people will choose it. This time, Apple is not allowing people to make that choice. They are actively limiting features to a whole region to keep their control over their products, like they have already done with iPhone mirroring, for example.

@webjac @EUCommission Apple chose not to introduce Apple Intelligence in Europe, not the EU.
Also, the market needs to be regulated. Smartphones have become a duopoly, so if Google decides 'Gemini only' an Apple decides 'Gemini, erm, Siri AI only', competition is effectively dead in the market.
The EU is right to regulate this. Let Apple cook (ahem) in their anti-competitive choices.

@webjac @EUCommission Yeah, that's not how regulations work bub.
It's our choice if we want to buy food laced with lead and cadmium, if I want to its my choice! /s
Apple *could* have met the EUs regulations, they chose not to out of contempt for all Europeans because they don't want to be regulated, full stop.
The cult of Apple is almost as stomach turning as the cult of Elon.

@webjac @EUCommission When you have a duopoly, it's very clearly not a free market.

️@EUCommission Apple is outsourcing it to Google Gemini.
No thanks ... -

That's a lot of words to say that you don't know what a 'free market' actually is. Hint: it's not the same as an unregulated market and, in general, unregulated markets are rarely free markets.

️@EUCommission why not just ban generative "ai" entirely? that would be much better

@webjac @EUCommission Without a public API, other LLM providers can only offer a chat app and that's it.
It would be similar to Apple not making a public notification API that other apps can use 15 years ago. In that world, iPhones would only have iMessage as a functional instant messaging app, which would clearly be anti-competitive.

@kalleboo @webjac @EUCommission the duopoly only exists due to other regulations, specifically the IP laws -

Cool. Can you get them to not roll out Siri AI in the US as well? -

@webjac @EUCommission if the tech sector were competitive, if we had 100s of smartphone operating systems to choose from, on equal grounds, then what you're saying could make sense
however, this is not the world we live in. apple and google have a shared monopoly on smartphone operating systems -

@webjac @EUCommission a free market with a duopoly? two participants? Apple and Google. Where both have a deal. That’s an interesting definition of free market.

️@EUCommission how is this different from Gemini on Pixel phones which are allowed and sold in the EU?

@phillip @webjac @EUCommission "the market" is EU's entire raison d'être, and the reason why they apply such stupid ruling

it's not only government regulations that can go against free market, the companies themselves can
(this doesn't mean i think the free market is a good idea, btw. i am opposed to capitalism as a whole. but if i were forced to think in a more capitalist way, this is what i would say) -

@webjac @EUCommission are you dumb ?
it's their job to protect consumer from those predatory move, so your own post is useless.

@david_chisnall @webjac @EUCommission it's a lot of words to say that you don't understand the concept of free market.
Monopoly behaviors that Apple and Google do is not "free market", as they prevent it to self regulate.

Oh, don't mind me. I'm just here for the ratio...
