The headline is reasonable if we all agree that AI gives us something worth the down sides. We do not.

Few outside the billionaires of Silicon Valley actually believe the hype. The average Joe is largely annoyed when their favorite productivity tools suddenly have "Smarter Clippy" shoehorned in. Or talk with some of AI's heaviest users (programmers) and you'll hear a pretty common theme: "Wow, Claude makes it easy to hit my Q3 targets, bummer it's going to put us all out of work (or far, far worse) five years from now."

I generally believe the end-users should decide what is installed on their computer. But most OS vendors do not offer full customization.

That's true, but a) that's crappy and b) they used to offer more, and the actually good OSes used to offer a lot more and still do. Unixes and Unixlikes other than OSX still generally allow you to install pretty small subsets of the OS.

You claim cars are superior while also writing about your car's poor reception.

You claim you can read but you still wrote that after reading my comment. Are you a bot? No, wait, even a bot wouldn't have come to that conclusion about what I wrote, which was about the opposite of what you pretended it was about so that you could pretend to have a valid argument, as usual.

On the flip side your portable allows you to step outside of the car and actually get reception.

Yeah, let me just step out of my car and listen to this report on where I'm supposed to drive while I'm on the highway with thousands of other people, you fucking muppet.

Also you're conflating an emergency plan with a nice to have.

You're conflating your unrealistic bullshit with a valid argument.

A working phone is also useful in an emergency. That doesn't mean there should be any consideration to having this be part of your plan or codified in any law.

Again, you are a fucking muppet, we already have laws like that. For example the laws which have protected access to POTS phones for people in remote locations which the telcos are now trying to get out of despite the obvious public safety interest so they can save a dollar. And that is exactly like the automakers taking away AM radio on a specious basis because they want to save a few dollars per vehicle. Fuck them and fuck your disingeuous corporate cocksucking behavior. It's embarrassing to see you do it every time.

I would argue that it's her diary and not meant to be viewed by anyone.

You cannot argue that without arguing that she is mentally incompetent to make legal arrangements and should therefore be under conservatorship. She agreed that the operators of the service would review her input and would comply with the law.
