Worth noting a small progress is better than no progress at all. Sure, you might not be able to avoid all Meta products, because there's always someone among your acquaintances you couldn't contact otherwise; but by migrating whoever you can, you're at least reducing the amount of info you're exposing to Meta. At this rate might as well treat it by what it is - using a Meta product is to put yourself in a vulnerable position.

And, seriously, the idea of some AI "managing your schedule, anticipating your needs, running your home, helping you make decisions, and maybe even guiding your career" is fucking awful. Even if it was another human being doing it for free, this would be a bad idea - it's losing control over your own life. (inb4 not even secretaries do this - they handle the chores, but the overarching decisions are still up to the boss.) It gets worse when you remember those artificial "intelligence" systems aren't intelligent at all, and they do dumb shit all the bloody time.

As cool as it sounds to have a virtual assistant as a second brain to handle all the mundane mental load of modern life, big tech has shown us the reality of this would be mining customers for data, more intrusion of advertising, customer manipulation through propaganda, and a subscription payment model that ratchets up and holds your data hostage. Not to mention the environmental impacts.

That, and also this might just be a fake PR stunt to make the Trump administration not seem so wrong (although achieving that would be like a sky-high wall climb with a big overhang). Remember that both Elon and Trump only really care about getting richer. Anything they say doesn't have much substance to it. It's all about facilitating their goals. If they feel like they need to do a 180-degree turn in order to boost their public perception, they will do that. I don't think they have much integrity, spine, morals or ethics at all. That would just stand in the way of getting richer.

It’s absolutely not cool and it’s a massive fucking privacy and security concern.

Let’s give these Ai agents root access to everything on your PC because people don’t want to think and plop their brains into jars.

Tech companies have been saying this my entire life. Maybe were closer now, but it will still be shitty. And this time the cost to the environment and society is huge

ONLY if I'm in total control of it. I barely trust Alexa to turn off my lights. Any AI I invite into my house will live on my own hardware.

Yeah, well, I want to kick him in the nuts

Huh, wouldn't you have to have people trust you to do this?

I got nothing to hide. Or so the saying goes.
