I'm happy to do without Siri AI and that kind of stuff if it means safeguarding my data and avoiding feeding it into 'bit-washing machines' that scramble everything and leave you with mismatched socks.

But as a developer, I imagine I won't even be able to test this stuff - which penalizes my apps.
For this reason, I might completely strip out Apple Intelligence support from MastoBlaster and my other unreleased apps. We'll see.

The EU can be really pedantic at times, but hiding behind a generic concept of 'we need to protect the childr..... uh... our users' just to maintain a certain position and avoid following the rules... well, I hope the John Ternus era changes this attitude.
After Steve Jobs's 'you're holding it wrong' and the gold and glass plaque Tim Cook gifted to an old and unpredictable president, it would be nice if Apple distinguished itself from the rest precisely because of this.

I don't hold out too much hope, but we'll see!
