@Valmond @ozymandias117 oh so we’re still doing the baseless-accusation-without-knowing-how-it-works thing?
They keep deleted photos for a time in iCloud in case someone comes looking for them
Every cloud storage provider does it, every mail server does it, it’s incredibly commonplace
The article specifically states that iCloud wasn’t related to the bug
@ozymandias117 I see now
Then how would they be training AI on it? If they don’t have it? If it’s on device what’s the problem? Deleting a photo doesn’t wipe the bits to 0, it never has
I never made that claim, my man
I just wanted some more information about how the on-device database corruption led to restoring pictures
Those are generally opposites
On spinning disks, it’s significantly easier to restore data after a delete, but it’s not normally as easy on flash storage like they’re using
