I have not and will not use any platform AI tools.
It is obvious that these tools are meant to be revenue generating since they are damned near impossible to totally disable or uninstall.
Sorry guys, but I like to be able to think for myself, in my own words.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Immigrants commit fewer crimes.
Immigrants pay taxes.
Immigrants contribute over $2 trillion to the U.S. economy.

Will someone please ask the 89 million Americans who didn't vote in the last election if they are being affected by anything this administration is doing to the other Americans?

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Mike Johnson, whose claim to fame is a ridiculous selfie with Kid Rock, is furious that we’re pushing to force a vote on extending tax credits. You know what to do:
Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits

As many give thanks today and celebrate with their families, take time to remember the Indigenous communities whose sacrifice and suffering this country was founded upon. Thanksgiving is a time for both gratitude and remembrance, and we can make room for both. Happy Thanksgiving.

I was forced into buying a new phone because all the apps I use were no longer supported.
MSoft is forcing millions of consumers to buy new PC's and desktops because Windows 11 needs too much memory & RAM.
WASTEFUL & TOTALLY UNNECESSARY!

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

Sanity will only prevail when humanity evolves beyond superstition and a faith-based belief system.
Religion poisons EVERYTHING!
Please, people! Break free from yokes of delusion & control!
There are no skydaddies, no subterranean villains, no afterlife.
THIS is the only life we get!
Make it the best life you can NOW.
Be the best person you can be NOW.
There are NO do-overs.

In my book, the 90M+ eligible voters who stayed home are the real traitors.
One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.
