Techbro billionaires are pushing AI into every piece of tech—often with didn't reasoning. All of it is data mining. And it won't be too long before nothing will be safe or usable or even remotely ethical.

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

This makes me so happy. I wish more people had the ability to engage in this kind of self-reflection and honesty with themselves.

Call me old-fashioned, but I much prefer doing my research amidst the shimmering glow of lanterns in an old-fashioned library in Prague during a thunderstorm, so I therefore must politely decline your suggestion to “just Google it.”

Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)
