This part of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's latest newsletter reminds me why I subscribe 🔥 (remember, all Substacks also have an RSS feed).

It’s in response to a question on why tech companies are "so desperate to shove AI down our throats”.

The newsletter: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/your-quest...

SK: I lack words to describe how much I hate AI. Perhaps AI will come up with some plagiarized ones to provide me.

I had a nightmare that all new phones came with cameras that refused to capture reality. Instead, they changed photos to AI without telling you. As a result, your memory deteriorates, and as time passes, you never know if what you saw is real. Now that was just a dream — but it’s in line with the future tech oligarchs are designing. They want control not only over your material possessions and political activity but your imagination and privacy. Guard them with your life. Avoid AI as much as possible. They want to replace you and make you its servant and *their* servants. They are not only trying to annihilate reality, but to make reality so unattractive that you will not mind it being replaced. They seek to create the ideal fascist subjects: pliant, uncreative, unnoticing.

I no longer know how to get accurate information except from direct witnesses who have proven to be reliable over time. But also trust your own observations — and write them down, because everything is designed to make you doubt your own recollections.
