I didn't find that particularly insightful or informative - very much as expected - though I'm a knee-jerk AI antagonist. Would much prefer your own take without the double hyphens and three bullet lists. Though you clearly indicated the AI prompt, we might also argue the definition of authorship 😬

Had a very humbling week. Received a lovely honour from the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and experienced the remarkable Run Terry Run documentary with a live sound track by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Also received another Jury Duty summons (3rd in four years). Democracy!

Spend over 90 mins waiting to connect to a live Rogers telecom agent as we have no TV (but internet is fine and I went through all of the troubleshooting). The chat when connected didn’t go well. Enshittification personified. Transcript:

I remember the days when you could buy a mundane device and you kept it until it broke down. Spending $200+ on a device to replace one that hasn’t failed in of itself and provides little additional benefit apart from “security updates” is a scam. Hope they rot in the warehouses.
