I hope, but do not expect, that it will come back in the final releases.

If I want to still be able to set a timer when I'm cooking with my voice, I probably need to accept a bunch of nonconsensual slop ("writing tools") being shoved in my face in every app.

This seems reasonable to me. Hazmat has a validated set of safety practices that you can engage in, legislative support for ensuring they are followed, and a well-socialized understanding of their necessity. AI has “it’s probably fine, it’s just words on a computer, how could it even hurt you, get back to work”.

Some of the features that are now labeled as ‘Apple Intelligence’ have been around since before LLMs were the next big thing.

This is the sad category where I'm putting GitHub, Google Apps and many others.

But for new software I have never used before, the existence of LLM functionality is a deal breaker.

One of the best mentors I worked with started repairing the forklift battery trays and welding new slides in the lifts. The fumes from vaporizing lead into the welds did not impact structural integrity of the steel, but the body absorbs lead like calcium. The nervous system seems to struggle with lead as a calcium replacement. He made it one month before his mental facilities were no longer compatible with employment or the legal system. He passed away a year later. AI seems to be that same road in a way, taking the lives of motivated people and turning their minds into slop.

This isn't just about my ethics and morals, projects using tools are making political, moral, ethical and environmental statements about those running them and the community of those involved as contributors and users.

Another important reason for me is security. I by default expect more problems because of a lower level of care, understanding and attention to detail, including security.

So easy to get a disabling dose of lead poisoning from a single exposure. Working around lead acid batteries and forklifts, breathing any of that white dust. Not washing hands before eating a candy bar with that sweet white lead oxide powder on the fingers. Working in plastics production, heat or fire resistant plastics almost always have lead, antimony, or both. Electrical wire, PVC, probably has it, from experience as someone who maintained the extruders that made it. I know why they use it, as yellowed brittle plastics don't have it. Lead makes people go absolute batshit crazy in about two months. AI seems to have that ability too.

though it would have to be done in a way where anyone could make their own from scratch (as in, devices should not be locked down, remote attestation tech should be banned, etc)

also abolish IP law and put software freedom into law (as in, if you distribute software, you must make sure someone else can build it themselves, modify it and run it with the same features even if modified)

i know, lofty goals, but software freedom and device neutrality should be non-negotiable
