I quit using Google after the Snowden revelations. I can enthusiastically recommend ProtonMail, which also has ProtonDrive, which is encrypted (as are their emails).
I make a point of deliberately not using any AI tools anywhere. Web searches are gamed, but using AI for research is just another level for fake narratives, propaganda, mis and disinformation to thrive.
I recently bought a couple private/business AI tools that are more for using your own input. And that made me take a closer look at what Bing AI does - scrapes blog posts for bullet point lists and copies those.
One is a transcription service and the other was set up to make online courses, but it was programmed to be very infomercially in the text output. It is interesting though to see what marketers expect people to want. The outline/structure help is helpful for me. Organization of a large topic is not as easy for me as stream of conscious following a rabbit hole.
What a creepy Insider cult infused video. I never watched music video TV so I frequently bump into old songs that I heard on the radio but never saw the video.
I see now that was a good thing, I got just a little less mental brain washing.
This is why we need philosophy again. We need to go by principles which will almost always keep us out of hot water. One principle is Body Autonomy, another one is Free Speech and another one is that information is THE most important thing. Information is wealth. With restrictions on information, we virtually slice our throats. I don't wish to sound dramatic but the results of information being censored is as good as that because it will give all the advantages to the most psychologically diabolical in our midst.
Agree, and we are seeing it happening. The dang jabs are still being promoted and people are still getting them.
The Hospice service got switched to a different company for my mom's care and they force jabs on their staff. I kind of want to fire the company and get the other company back but haven't rocked that boat yet.
