I don't input anything that I care about them spying on. As for brain rot, we're on social media, aren't we?

So you say but they are slowly giving Ai root access.

You also are forgetting the environment impacts this slop is having.

Wow, you pivot a lot. The power consumption of data centers as a whole in the US was ~5% of total in 2024. But they are definitely guzzling water, no doubt about that. It'd be nice if we still had environmental regulatory agencies with teeth to force better cooling methods. Doug Forcett comes to mind.
