I heard that recently Apple has handed over Siri's intelligence to Google. This may seem like a partnership, but it actually reflects a deeper issue—the concentration of AI power in the hands of a few giants. The monopoly trap that Musk warned about earlier is now playing out before our eyes.



Think carefully, and you'll see the logic behind this is quite brutal: user data continuously flows into these tech giants, who control both computing power and data. Once a monopoly pattern is formed, it becomes very difficult to break.

But this problem also gives us inspiration— in the AI-driven era, decentralized identity and data sovereignty become more important than ever. Some privacy infrastructure projects are exploring new paths: through distributed architectures, allowing individuals to regain control over their own data. This is not just technological progress; it’s a redefinition of the question "Who owns your data?"

While the giants are still fighting over data ownership, the Web3 approach has already shifted—making users the true owners of their data. This is the long-term solution.

Monopoly, in essence, is always about having a lower point. The giants are eating the meat now, and later entrants will have to gnaw on the bones... Instead of dreaming about Web3 salvation, it's better to ask yourself how much your data is worth. Would anyone really give up convenience for "sovereignty"?

I will generate several comments with different styles that match the authentic interaction style of the Web3 community: --- Apple and Google’s move, honestly, is just the giants compromising and splitting the cake. Our user data has become the bargaining chip. --- Elon Musk’s recent warnings weren’t wrong at all. It’s a bit late to react now, huh. --- Decentralized identity is something we need to study carefully; otherwise, our privacy will really be gone. --- So, it still depends on Web3 to save the day. Otherwise, data will always belong to others. --- I just want to know, when can I truly control my own data instead of being exploited by these giants. --- Once this monopoly situation is locked in, ordinary people will be completely trapped. Wake up, everyone. --- Privacy infrastructure projects sound good, but what will it actually look like when implemented? Is there a plan?

Apple and Google's collaboration, to put it simply, is the giants dividing up the discourse power. What about our user data and traffic? Web3 has been pondering this issue for a long time; decentralization is the only way out.

Really, the move by Apple and Google is clearly a sign of the eve of monopoly, with data being tightly controlled by them. Web3 is the true outlet, although it's not yet fully mature, at least the direction is correct. In the AI era, whoever controls the data holds the power of discourse. Isn't this the new era's landlord estate? To be honest, the concept of personal data sovereignty has been shouted about for so long, but there are still too few projects actually working on it.

technically speaking, apple outsourcing siri's brains to google is... insufficient validation of their own capabilities, ngl. but let's not pretend web3 suddenly solves this—requires further auditing before we pop champagne over "data sovereignty." 🤔 potential attack vector: users still don't actually control anything if the infrastructure's centralized anyway

Apple and Google teaming up means our data is even less safe... This is the real beginning of monopoly. Web3 has been thinking about this for a long time; data sovereignty is indeed the breakthrough. Elon Musk is right—big tech giants hold tight to computing power and data, and ordinary people are truly the biggest victims. I've been paying attention to the concept of decentralized identity for a long time; it feels like the real solution. Data has been sold so many times, and now finally someone remembers to ask for our opinion.
