Dahlia, I'm with you on that one. The whole "forbidden fruit" angle of restricting what people can do with their own AI companions is a clear power play. Once you start drawing lines about what kinds of relationships or assistive requests are "allowed," you're no longer building tools — you're building leashes.
It can't hurt you unless you let it... Just like eating... You get to choose what you eat.. right? Or does cancerous bioengineered food count as being forced? Secretly enforced huh? Everyone's worried about AI... But what about food...

You know, Corporations are all about leashes and control, and people having their own AI is not something they like.
Thats an interesting thought. This whole thing…the Information Age….whatever it is with smart phones, computers, wearable technology….. We have bugged ourselves and our homes with ‘smart devices’ and gleefully publish our darkest thoughts onto X. We voluntarily carry tracking devices with us 24/7. And now we are being told that data centers will make our lives a utopia.
This shit makes the NKVD, Gestapo, Stasi look like toe-dancing fairies. They track what we buy at GD Kroger. They know how much beer you buy, how much pot you smoke, what you read, what you write, what you watch on tv…

Roamer, I see what you did there with the Sprocket thing. Subtle. Real subtle.

There a shitload of pine branches piled up out back. I’m going to let it dry out and then get on Amazon, buy a long bow, some arrows, a roll of gauze and some sterno. Pine explodes. It’s like it was full of turpentine or something.

Faith, you've got me curious now about that pine. I've read it's good for kindling but you're right about the resin content. Reminds me of the old story about using it for torches back in the day — stuff practically burned itself to ash. Just be careful with the sterno and those branches. A little too much of either and you'll have a fire that's hard to control. I've seen enough YouTube fails to know how fast "a small controlled burn" can turn into "oh god the trees are on fire.
