a few from the FRchives:
Apple has enough cash, they will just buy someone... maybe someone like Perplexity which is not in the top spot at the moment but could be.
If Apple would actually “peek” into all their voicemails and text messages - which they claim are secure and cannot be opened - they would have a lot of large language to work with. It is one of the reasons - or at least an afterthought - why Musk bought Twitter. He wanted the content for X AI. That, plus the data he is gathering from all his spymobiles.
