Gay middle-aged man. Climate, bird flu, AI, Trump are all existential crises. I like to think my opinions are well-considered but I have blind spots and am open to new perspectives. Frequent dropper of F-bombs; less frequent dropper of C-bombs.

Neil Richards from the top rope.
In the meantime, consumers will have to consider more carefully the impacts their individual choices to use this tech are having, both on themselves and others — and whether the convenience these companies are offering is even worth it.

“I think we need to treat agentic agents and AI more generally as an ultra-hazardous product for which strict liability is the rule,” said Richards. “There’s no reason to engage in what to my mind is a reckless privacy, mental health, cybersecurity, and financial risk experiment on the entire population.”

"The damage Trump has done to US power, to the US image, to the int'l order in just 2 years is stunning. If Trump is backed into a corner & gets even more erratic & extremist, which seems quite possible, who knows what will happen on the int'l stage. It’s not clear who or what could constrain him."

When I'm on my home network I use pihole DNS adblockers. It's free, open source, & curated blocklists are available from multiple sources. I'm running multiple instances for different purposes. My devices use aggressive blocking, my spouse's devices less so; smart TVs are their own block rules.

A quick reminder: you need to have a good ad-blocker running everywhere on your tech. Not so easy on phones! Any site that won't let you in if you use one is probably going to try to spy on you, whether you subscribe or not. @doctorow.pluralistic.net explains more: pluralistic.net/2026/10/17/m...

Some of the better VPN providers can simplify this for you. Proton VPN (the one I use) has a "Net Shield" feature which does a pretty good job of blocking ads and malware on my devices when I take them out of my home network.
