I was asked whether I use any AI.

When I said that I don't need it, I was given a strange look and was called primitive/a madman.

Is humanity really that far gone that we have to rely on a data collecting machine by big tech to be our second brain?

It seems that people have gotten too lazy to even look something up online.

Edit: "b-but he bombed people" I in no way compare myself to the Unabomber and only agree on his take of humanity becoming slaves of the tools they depend on.

Just seems like a detail that would probably be ignored in almost any other case. How often have you seen a parents later change of religion mentioned in a Wikipedia biography? I think the subtle message here is, "Maybe lack of belief in God led to his terrorism."

    Interesting thought. Still, if anyone ever made a record of my life I'd want such a thing mentioned.

    Yeah, but if you were a terrorist, they'd try to tar whatever your origins are, no matter how tangentially related.

    I mean, if I were a terrorist, I'd feel it weird if they mentioned something like me being 1/4 Jewish on my dad's, raised Catholic, side. I didn't even find out about it until I was in college. I'd guess it was some anti-Semite wikipedia editor with a grudge.
