I had a ChatGPT account to learn and experiment and what I learned is that they will sign deals to spy on me where Anthropic said no. Claude and I have been good friends this last year and I hope Anthropic at least *tries* to minimize the enshittification. I know they have made bad decisions also.

People with a metric tonne of money should be able to buy themselves fancy cars and houses but not power over others.

The RAM and storage shortage are yet another example of why the highest dollar should not rule the world. It's exactly why we have housing problems. People with money just overpay to corner the market.

When we last moved, we dropped off at a local shredding event and shredded 12 bankers boxes of old files. One of the boxes was marked β€œImportant” and also got shredded. Goodbye birth certificate etc lol.

Federal Vaccine Advisers Take Aim at Covid Shots

Unfortunately, we now receive unreliable information from these vaccine-denying federal committees.

This is exactly why I requested a bill with @oicwa.bsky.social to shift vaccine recommendations to our own Department of Health. I'm looking forward to signing that bipartisan bill.

It's a traveling group of tiny violins but still…
