In the context of handling weak self in a task, the discussion from the WWDC sessions doesn't directly address this specific topic. However, there are related concepts discussed in the sessions that might be useful.

For instance, in the session titled "Consume noncopyable types in Swift," there is a focus on managing state and ensuring that tasks are properly handled to avoid issues such as data races or unintended behavior when tasks are cancelled. This involves understanding how to manage noncopyable types and ensuring that tasks are executed safely without unintended side effects.

Additionally, the session "Migrate your app to Swift 6" discusses concurrency and data-race safety, which are relevant when dealing with tasks and ensuring that your code is safe from race conditions. This session also covers how to use the mainactor and assume isolated to ensure that code runs on the expected thread, which can help prevent issues related to weak references in tasks.

If you are looking for specific strategies to handle weak self in tasks, you might consider using Swift's concurrency features to ensure that your tasks are executed safely and that references are managed correctly to avoid retain cycles or unexpected behavior.
