A privacy notice is not consent. Reading a multi-page document written by corporate lawyers just to find out how you're being tracked isn't "agreeing" to anything. It is a digital ransom note.

Apple and the UK government are on a joint mission to make sure no-one ever updates their phones or computers ever again.

I’m sure that’ll do wonders for children’s online safety.

Adults Lose Skills to AI. Children Never Build Them.

Discussions of cognitive offloading often miss a critical distinction: What AI does to a 45-year-old's brain is categorically different from what it does to a 14-year-old's.
