An Apple spokeswoman blamed the issue on phonetic overlap between the two words, and said the company was working on a fix.

Interesting how you managed to spin their accountability as a bad thing. It sounds like you prefer companies that refuse to squirm.

Instead, he said, there was probably software code somewhere on Apple’s systems that caused iPhones to write the word “Trump” when someone said “racist.”

“This smells like a serious prank,” Mr. Burkey said. “The only question is: Did someone slip this into the data or slip into the code?”

yeah, I wouldn't read too much into it guys

Not sure if this is relevant but would be interesting to see what words have high cosine similarity with "Trump" in different pre-trained LLMs

Apple will comply and instead transcribe "winner" to "Trump" in order to curry favor with him. Just like they kowtow on the Gulf of Shame.

I'm not even mad... except for the NYT links without a paywall bypass link

No. Do not share that site. It uses google scripts and can't be loaded in Tor Browser.

Just share an article from another news outlet that doesn't paywall.

Bug stories like this are covered by hundreds of outlets. Its not hard.

I had to try this and you appear to be correct.

Its kinda bizare i get a captcha which i cant enter without javascript but in firefox i dont get any captcha at all.

However i don’t think your solution is adequate. I don’t particularly care about this story i care about having to face a paywall every 3 times i click a link on lemmy.

Kinda sucks there are not more sites like it but i did successfully test this compromise: https://web.archive.org/web/20250226151151/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/technology/iphone-dictation-trump-racist.html

If we just publish articles from one of the majority of news sites that dont have paywalls, there is no problems. Everyone can load it with one click.

We really should ban linking to the nyt
