If you want iMessage you still need an always-on Mac, whether that's the main moltbot gateway, or the MacOS app running in 'node mode' to allow a moltbot gateway to use it to send/receive iMessages.
I see value in the LLM being able to read/integrate my iMessages since a lot of my scheduling/commitments are discussed on there.
Moltbot is supposed to be a 'personal AI assistant'
with >60% market share in US, you can't really expect people to just 'not use iMessage'. It's what the messages are going to be coming in on

Intel is going to stop being supported with the current OS version (Tahoe, 2025). OS are supported for about 3 years.
I'm curious what will happen after. If they'll break it or if they'll allow the services to keep running on unsupported hardware.
Got a couple years left
I expect someone will eventually get around to reverse engineering the various M series specific instructions for qemu. Does imessage make use of hardware attestation to register with the remote endpoint?
I noticed when I was reading Federico Viticci's post about it that he was using telegram, which has much better support for "markdown"-y rendering, which looks a lot nicer than iMessage. And then I thought to myself, why would iMessage actually matter? The only other use-case would be interacting with texts, but almost anyone can tell when someone is using an LLM to text - I feel like our texting styles are so personal, and what is there even to gain from using an LLM just with text messages? So is it even worth it to run on a Mac?
