I drive a 2009 car with 110K miles on it and a Garmin GPS which has never heard of the internet, I am right there with you.
Thanks for suggesting more mainstream alt-browsers. This article isn't about avoiding all AI everywhere so much as it is for people who want to turn the intrusive AI off in the things they are already using. There are…
Which Linux phone do you prefer?
It's creative commons licensed, go nuts! (or send me updates and I'll do it)
Thank you, I've added this suggestion for Chrome/Firefox

Hello -- this is mine! There's a short URL: https://NoToAI.org If people have suggestions I'll add them.
I can't confirm it, but I think a few of the scenes from Halt and Catch Fire come from Soul of a New Machine.
My dad was Tom West from Soul of a New Machine. Tracy Kidder lived at our house on weekends in the late 1970s while he was working on this book. He and my dad remained friends for the rest of his life, going out on…
Getting stronger and better every day Evan; best wishes for the speediest recovery possible.
In the United States local drug store Rite Aid got in some serious trouble for using AI facial recognition. Looking at some of the Federal Trade Commission's complaints against them can give you some creepy insight into…

Hi felix!
Right?! Hi I'm Tom West's daughter, librarian, owner of MetaFilter and someone who spends a LOT of time talking to people (mainly men) who take only some of the messages away from that book. The book was great. I'm in…
I honestly feel like part of it is just that the site sometimes feels like abandonware. That is, it's still running but older cruft is still there (like how you can add AOL Instant Messenger to your profile page) and…
Hi! Yes I'm the owner which is mostly paperwork and legal and sort of "the vision thing." Loup is running day-to-day stuff and we have a 12-member Steering Committee who will hopefully be setting the priorities and…
Hey!
Thanks. I miss my dad a lot.
I had a very long and angryish set of dealings with them about this. I finally got an engineer to let me download the archive but man... promises promises...
I feel like a lot of it is changing the discussion. Like not everyone has the money, time and effort to be able to do a small claims thing, but there are a lot of things you can do. Teaching people to pull their credit…
Yep -- if you make over $600 (and mine was $600 + $90 for court costs) they have to send you a tax form and report it.
