What is the point? iOS will run a local model for requests that involve personal context and pass requests off to a private cloud instance for requests that are too complex for local inference. For non-personal requests OpenAI or some other service is invoked. Apple isn’t paying OpenAI.
Where is the ‘Apple buying their tech’ part in this?
Initial studies of the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid Bennu sample collected in space and brought to Earth by NASA show evidence of high-carbon content and water, which together could indicate the building blocks of life on Earth may be found in the rock. NASA made the news Wednesday from its Johnson Space Center in Houston where leadership and scientists showed off the asteroid material for the first time since it landed in September.
I would propose the following analogy as an answer:
1 - Person A has the flu
2 - Person B does not have the flu
3 - Person A treats the flu with rest, fluids and antiviral medications
If person B also rested, drank fluids and took antiviral medications, they would not become an unusually healthy person. Person B would not become the new normal.
What you're proposing is that it's OK to be sick. We treat every other form of illness with aggressive treatments. Depression is often ignored, poorly treated or treatment is inaccessible to many people due to cost.
What you're proposing is a dialog between a conscious and subconscious self, while in a dream state, where one or the other (or both) forms of being are fully aware of what questions to ask, and what the answers to those questions are. This doesn't sound simple. It sounds extremely complex.
And it doesn't explain everything, like, for example, why some people don't dream or can't remember their dreams. Or why other animals dream, unless all animals have a conscious and subconscious self and are attempting to resolve internal conflict.
> unless all animals have a conscious and subconscious
You don't believe animals have a conscious? I thought all humans believes that a dog for example had a consciousness.

You say this is complex, but there is definitely a subroutine that determines when you should sleep, when to wake you up etc. That routine calling you to do some bookkeeping while you are sleeping doesn't add any complexity at all. I don't see why that routine would be smart enough to do everything else, but not smart enough to ask some questions about things when you sleep...
I think it’s a matter of degree. We don’t know what level of consciousness they have relative to our own experience. Can you say with certainty, for example, that a mollusk or sea cucumber has conscious experience?
