the new gas ones aren't cheap either, plus loaded with spyware - drive old/analog. #analogamerican

Turns out AI is even less creative than we thought Research shows how it reverts to “visual elevator music".

Gee, what a surprise - NOT. #banAI #analogamerican #bigtechgreed #corporatedoublespeak

put one in Mexico City or a SE Asian capital and see how well it does :) I don't favor putting 'ai' on roads given it would come from greedy tech companies who treat people like an afterthought already (who work there!) #analogamerican

the best security remains, however - don't have one. #analogamerican #iphonessuck

keep. dreaming. #analogamerican

no thanks #analogamerican

oh, i'm so surprised - not. #analogamerican #fElon

no. #analogamerican

are we surprised? #privacy #1984 #surveillancecapitalism #analogamerican

driving an old car - if you drive - helps :) #analogamerican

yep, if you thought lawyers liked handling DUIs and Divorces - that's not even chump change compared to this. #analogamerican

and people who wear those ridiculous glasses - in the words of Bart Simpson: "get beaten up". If cognitive disadvantage means I don't have to act like a greedy self-aggrandizing POS like *uckerberg - sign me up. #analogamerican

How Smart Devices Spy On Your Home—And How To Avoid It

there's an even simpler way - Don't. Buy. Them. No one is requiring you to buy this crap, people! #analogamerican #surveillancecapitalism #amazonspies #googlespies #apple #1984 #orwell #falseconvenience

very easy solution to all those (and the Ring spyware likely on your porch). 1) ball-peen hammer for Alexa and Siri (or just under the back tire of your car followed by backing out); 2) for sale sign (or more destructive method) for your Elon-mobile. #analogamerican

if only they weren't spymobiles like all the rest (and not hideously ugly, save the e-Golf). I have owned (and still own) many classic VWs but the current crop.....nope #analogamerican

Radicalized (Doctorow book) - Wikipedia

the 'Unauthorized Bread' novella in the 2019 Cory Doctorow collection Radicalized is similar - basically there the residents of an apt complex are (effectively) held hostage to their greedy 'subscriber' kitchen appliances to cook or prepare meals or store food - WAY too "present-day" #analogamerican

how about if I don't want "CoPilot" at all? #analogamerican

good, then when eElon's AI tries to steal it, it will have real consequences. #fElon #analogamerican #surveillancecapitalism

Your Tesla Is Watching

uh, this is beyond 'duh'? What planet are you living on when you thought a Tesla was NOT spying on you? #analogamerican #fTesla #fElon #surveillancecapitalism #spyware #1984 #orwell

Subaru Security Flaws Exposed Its System for Tracking Millions of Cars Now-fixed web bugs allowed hackers to remotely unlock and start any of millions of Subarus. More disturbingly, they could also access at least a year of cars’ location histories—and Subaru employees s...

I like Subarus but i'd never drive a new one, just like any other new spymobile - here's yet another reason why... #surveillancecapitalism #analogamerican #driveanalog #privacy #cars #subaru #personaldata #locationspying #1984

yep. #analogamerican
