The AI surveillance at my house is insane.

Processes break as soon as you stop paying attention to them, especially when the reason you stopped paying attention to them is that they had proved their reliability.

I recently got an iPad, and this is now one of my favorite things about it. I set up a shortcut that opens the Kindle app next to my @dayoneapp.com . Makes it easy to take notes on what I am reading.

Creepy manipulation tactics in our Missouri election.
A postcard comparing how often our next door neighbors vote and giving them a letter grade based on the frequency of voting. It says “TURNOUT IN YOUR AREA IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
Your voting record is public -and so are your neighbors. Many of them will see if you voted or not. After AUGUST 4th, a new report may show who did and didn't vote.
POLLS ARE NOW OPEN! VOTE BEFORE AUGUST 4TH”

I remember during the Iraq war how controversial it was when people claimed the war was about oil. Like, how cynically can you be? All the "No Blood for Oil" signs seemed alarmist. And yet, today, the POTUS is literally telling other countries, "Go get your own oil" regarding the war.

It's weird when you get an email now asking for support, and you can tell it was generated by AI. It seems so formal. If you didn't know about AI you would think, "wow, this person went to a lot of trouble to bold things and eloquently write this message."
