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

    🤔

    This is the fun side of Apple. Since they’re a monoculture, they can’t just blame a partner or vendor like every other tech company. Watching them squirm is delightful. So arrogant and closed-source.

    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

    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.

    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
