NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders.

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

I just became a paid subscriber of @bcmerchant.bsky.social and so should you if you want to learn more about the intrusion of AI in to our life. Brian offers a very thoughtful deep dive in to today's technology.
While supplies last, of course! I have no idea who might be interested here, but I have a garage full of old galleys and publisher copies that this seems like a good use for.
So just either leave me your preference for which book you'd like in the sign-up note, or send me an email w/ a screenshot.

Luckily there are still ways around it. My Android phone doesn't support AI, Linux doesn't have AI and I ditched Proton for Tuta Mail. True, it doesn't solve all the AI intrusion but it is a good start.
Big tech promotes the story that since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, AI has been so popular it's rushed to meet the demand. The reality is different. A study by design scholars shows tech co's have had to push AI on its users with a variety of intrusive tactics.

WILD story. An 82-year-old from Chile lost his green card. In June, he went to pick up a new one at a USCIS office. While there, he was handcuffed and detained by ICE.
An unknown caller claiming to be a lawyer told family she could help. Later, she said he’d died. Now he’s turned up — in Guatemala!

He was wrongfully accused of being a gang member because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, and illegally sent to El Salvador without due process.
