"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Wait, Apple Messages aren’t e2ee? Or is it a question of color: green v. blue?
They are stored in an sqlite database which hasn't changed format all that much
The most secure messaging system in the world won't matter if you read all your messages with a camera over your shoulder.
E2EE protects what's between the ends. But once a message is delivered to the end, the user can do whatever they want with it: screenshot or save the message, forward it to others, save it in a database open to others, etc.
I don't know the answer to this, but the AI agent would be at one of the "ends" of the conversation, so e2ee wouldn't be a particularly relevant promise to that scenario.
Long story short, don’t install AI on your phone or the AIC will enjoy your conversations?
