- This doesn’t even go into the meat of it. To ensure smooth migration, Apple basically simulated the migration across a bunch of its devices and collected diagnostic data. And in collecting diagnostic data, checked for issues/addressed them so when it was go time, the risk was near-0. Now that’s engineering.
- So I can only give a recent example of pinsyscalls(2), which associate a system call to a specific memory address to prevent return-to-libc attacks. It's subtle system/OS stuff that make it secure. You throw that out the window installing third party apps though... OpenBSD is best served pure if security is your main angle.
- Besides homework, all of these things seem to be professional uses of GPT-4. If they’re trying to bake this into a consumer platform like Siri, I don’t see why they’d need to focus on those use cases. Besides MDM/Enterprise, which will be curious if they try and attack this market or just their army of consumer devices.
- Microsoft didn't have competition in the 90s. Apple has plenty of competition, they've just built up a competitive advantage which is their fully-integrated platform. Googles been trying to build one on the Pixel for years and haven't come close to their success.
Apples been doing this "next level of nefarious" since the App Store's introduction in iPhoneOS 3.0, and it's been fine up to this point, otherwise the platform (and consequentially the apps on these platform -- spotify) wouldn't have thrived the way it did.
