Most of these dont seem like a big deal

1) IF you wanted a device like this to work seamlessly and magically, it needs to constantly be listening/seeing/sending location. Local inference is where this will actually work, and I don't understand who'd want to give this company money to buy something Apple will make a much better version of in 5 years, but if you do - this is the way to do it

2) We can't hate megacorps and then expect startups to make good products without data. Rabbit would need this data for any chance of creating something better in the future

I'm doing the classic comment before reading the article thing, but I have to say there's a big difference between it sending that information when a request is made and hoovering it all continuously. especially if the data being collected isn't detailed anywhere.

On one hand I agree. Big corporations are doing this too. On the other hand:

1. This is just a tiny fraction of the violations they've done.

2. I trust big corporations to have better data categorization and secure storage.

3. If big corporations misuse data, they are liable to a pretty large class action lawsuit. There's not much recourse in the case of Rabbit.

4. There's no good reason to collect and send cell tower data back to their servers for their use case.

I've worked at mega corps and I do not.

Not in the US.

>4. There's no good reason to collect and send cell tower data back to their servers for their use case.

There is no reason to collect most of the data mega corps do either.

Apple will make a much better version? On what evidence?

They're already on a better path with App Intents. Way more solid idea than having AI train how to click buttons on a UI that might change every now and then.
