With regard to private AI compute in Google, this was an announcement from November 11th of 2025.

Google writes that private AI compute in the cloud is our next step in AI processing technology.

It builds off the industry-leading security and privacy safeguards that we embed to keep you in control of your experiences and your data safe, guided by our secure AI framework, AI principles, and privacy principles.

Private AI Compute is a secure, fortified space for processing your data that keeps your data isolated and private to you.

It processes the same type of sensitive information you might expect to be processed on device within its trusted boundary.

Your personal information, unique insights, and how you use them are protected by an extra layer of security and privacy in addition to our existing AI safeguards.

Remote attestation and encryption are used to connect your device to hardware-secured sealed cloud environments, allowing Gemini models to securely process your data within a specialized protected space.

This ensures sensitive data processed by private AI compute remains accessible only to you and no one else, not even Google.

Speaking of Google and Apple, an anonymous ex-Googler wrote in and said, Apple is or was one of Google Cloud's largest customers.

Google Cloud is the only public cloud with enough network bandwidth to serve iCloud Drive and backup, which was wholly on Google Cloud.

MobileMe was on Azure, contributing to its disaster.

All right, and then continuing from the ex-Googler, the other main Apple product that runs on Google Cloud is Shazam, which is running on Google Kubernetes engine.

All right, we should talk with regard to using Alfred to remove the attribution stuff that was copied in text from macOS from the news app.

And John, you apparently have made a snarky comment, only on the Mac, you know, can you do these sorts of things, which...

At the time, I agreed with.

But Rowley writes in to say, you can also remove the attribution crud from copied text on iOS.

I made a clean URL shortcut that removes the attribution text and also changes x.com links to xcanceled.com links.

All right.

And then you would also snort in episode 674, how long until we have screens on RAM?

Well, Vasudev Baldwa writes, good news.
