systemsignal··on Anil Seth Finds Consciousness in Life’s Push Against Entropy
Not a great answer but basically everything that occurs in this Universe must increase the overall entropy of the universe (second law)

Of course local entropy can decrease, hopefully in a way that is beneficial to our little corner of the universe :)

Would recommend Schrodingers “what is life” if interested further in life/entropy

systemsignal··on Anil Seth Finds Consciousness in Life’s Push Against Entropy
But life probably wouldn’t exist if entropy wasn’t increasing

Life exists because it increases the entropy in the universe

OpenAI?

There is actual an obvious point…

Everytime you wake up in the morning.

China can make that regardless of what Apple thinks, that’s totally unrelated to this.

Also this technology does not develop similar images, the image has to be essentially identical…

Those last two bullets are not solved by crypto unless people stop using their country’s currencies altogether, which is incredibly unlikely in any well functioning country

People still buy crypto with dollars and they have shown an obsession with the dollar value

systemsignal··on “People have asked if we'll adopt this system for WhatsApp. The answer is no.”
Is there even an asterisk?

“ Messages uses on-device machine learning to analyze image attachments and determine if a photo is sexually explicit. The feature is designed so that Apple does not get access to the messages.”

Still sounds like E2E, no different from messages applying some processing/compression to sent images imo

systemsignal··on “People have asked if we'll adopt this system for WhatsApp. The answer is no.”
Check out what it’s actually doing

“ Messages uses on-device machine learning to analyze image attachments and determine if a photo is sexually explicit. The feature is designed so that Apple does not get access to the messages.”

It’s all on-device which satisfies E2E I believe
