Siracusa kindly replied to my question to give a little context.
I do believe PCC is more protected. But I also chafe against any message from a tech company that says “we accessed your data without you specifically sending it, but that’s actually totally fine because-“
I feel like it’ll serve me well if I default to never being okay with a tech company saying that.

@eff fyi, potential privacy concern in Siri AI
RE: https://oldbytes.space/@CodingItWrong/116828449200954799
@siracusa @marcoarment @caseyliss did we know this? if we didn't know this this seems like a major privacy problem.
unless we just assume that apple can and will access any of your data for Siri AI. but if so that makes me want to use competitors' AI instead

This is the future those who push for age verification want for us.
Was just thinking about Star Wars episode 2. If you’re a straight dude and don’t think you can talk to women, just remember that the guy who wrote Anakin’s and Padme’s dialog managed to get married twice. Have hope.
Sorry I’m salty tonight, I just got back from the beach.
(That’s not a pun, I don’t like the beach.)
In before descriptivists say “a word is pronounced however I mean it to be pronounced”
“I wish that word need not have been pronounced that way," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to hear such pronunciations. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the pronunciation that is given us.”
This past week at the beach I was off my diet, but now that I’m home I need to get bac-on.

Stopped by Cracker Barrel and it hasn’t changed a bit since the 90s. Including lack of information about food sensitivities.
After using Apple Pay to buy an ebook without creating an account, I received a spam email at my primary Apple email address from that seller. I never provided my email address to them directly. I guess I won’t be using Apple Pay anymore.
AirPods 4 ANC left-behind device warning plus Play Sound just saved me. Absolutely invest in those if you’re as forgetful as me.
The fact that Google haven’t killed Voice means that it’s not that they kill everything. It’s worse: there’s no logic to what they do or don’t kill.
You can joke about the finbros goose thing because it’s hilarious, but if you think they’ll be embarrassed by it then I have bad news about finbros’ level of working human emotions
AI-AGENTS.txt is the first time people ever bothered to write really useful project convention documentation for humans.
Change my mind.
The Syntax podcast has some interesting info, but the thing that rubs me the wrong way is Twitter-thought-leader-esque clickbait titles like for this episode: https://overcast.fm/+ABSMSeawhmw
All it takes is a glance at the show notes to see that this is not actually what they’re saying.
Why put in the hard work to come up with a compelling true episode title when you can just lie?
