I Grew Up With Computers

I grew up with computers. I learned how to run them and how to live with them. I communicate with them and I love them. And I do not trust them.

That is why my home locks are physical. That is why i aggressively disable any always on assistant programs. That is why all of my appliances predate wifi connections.

All of that said, now that AI learning models are getting good, I do intend to build an AI assistant for my own uses. An open source model vetted by people as paranoid as me and operating entirely inside my home with no data being broadcast to anyone else. MY AI assistant will actually be my AI assistant, not the property of someone else that reports everything I do.

That is how much I love and trust computers. 🙂
