Your AI chatbot is not a shrink – it’s a snitch.

Anything you tell a chatbot, thoughts, secrets, confessions, can be subpoenaed, admitted in court, and used against you.

Beware what you tell your AI chatbot. It’s not a shrink – it’s a snitch

My first job was building out the first mega-datacenters. 2005-2007, I was a datacenter assistant monkey working from Google working somewhere in the Chicago suburbs, swapping out hard drives and ram and writing shell scripts, as myself and my friends unknowingly laid down the prototype for the kinds of datacenters we all see today.

And so it is with some significant expertise that I say:

Fuck datacenters. Datacenters are an anti-pattern.

@farfalk Datacenters are concentrations of power. Anytime a datacenter is involved, it's a sign of power centralization. The rise of datacenters corresponds with the death of p2p and other visions of a more decentralized internet.

What's wheat-pasting? Past me has you covered. 😅 👇
