9. "Mostly when I encounter Ai it's an irritation"

“You and me both man. That thing is lucky I am not armed”


I am painfully restarting my life today after a too long brush with junk tech (14 years and 4 months).

Feel like a load is off my mind after I decided to file complaints about unwanted bloatware.

I am doing an experiment now where instead of ritualistic AA style tech “detoxes” and performative online/offline histrionics, I just dial tech and other rot down to their status in my life - junk I will file complaints over rather than acclimate to. A simple decision that restores normalcy. Then I can just ignore it since whatever the deal is it will be a fight.

It is a humblebrag that these guys’ products are addictive. They are a nuisance.
