I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

My position on the Biden pardon is that the right only cares about power and will do anything to diminish their opponents & set the stage for future abuses of their own power. I'm not surprised that a president used his power to help his troubled adult child, regardless of the ethics of doing so.
