Great post as usual.

Re ads, I just tried Proton's new completely private AI tool that specifically goes against this slippery slope of "surveillance capitalism" model from Social media being ported over to AI tools soon. I agree that most people are going to go with the so called free version as you've articulated. It seems most are unaware of even the most basic aspect of this dilemma, let alone looking at any nuances of firewall between our usage history and ad deliver. I would bet a large amount that the financial extraction model that Meta et al have perfected will move into AI tools widely and quite rapidly. Wall St will demand it before long.

I haven’t tried that one yet, though I have both a proton email and use their VPN sometimes, so I tend to trust them.

I’ve been interested in cryptography and encryption for a few decades, and it’s been quite a surprise to me overtime that most people really don’t care much at all for their privacy. I still think they should be offered good and secure defaults even if you don’t ask for them, but it certainly makes it easier for those who wants the opposite that there’s not much outcry.

AMD can probably live with intel having to act on advice from trump and the entire universe of stem-free MAGA.

there is also the irony of zuck/musk/trump somehow appealing to the manosphere but all escaping any notion of serious physical combat. best they stay w/WWE , or agree effectively on sumo suits.
