Cursor IDE Requests Access to Apple Music Library for Some Reason
Description
A macOS system permission dialog screenshot against a dark background. The dialog shows the Apple Music icon (red square with white music note) with a small blue hand/privacy icon overlay. The text reads: '"Cursor" would like to access Apple Music, your music and video activity, and your media library.' with two buttons: 'Don't Allow' and 'Allow'. Cursor is a popular AI-powered code editor, and the humor comes from the absurdity of a code editor requesting access to your music library and media activity -- a permission that has absolutely nothing to do with writing code. This captures the common frustration with apps requesting excessive permissions

Cursor needs your Apple Music data to train its next model: predicting code quality based on whether you listen to lo-fi beats or death metal while debugging
