I've been buying lots of books as well. Used to be I mostly used libraries but since they often don't have the books I'm looking for, I've been collecting them for myself these past 2-3 years.
I also had the sudden pop-up AI's on my screen this week. So annoying! I just stepped away from the websites where it presented itself until it desisted.
Excellent post.
Did you see my fore into Substack's 'AI assistant'? Scroll to end of article: https://vicparkpetition.substack.com/p/february-2024-substack-muster-and
I'm buying books as well. Mainly classic literature and textbooks.
I've still got one to gift you lol.
Will check out your latest post. Not sure how I managed to turn off the majority of notifications and email notifications through substack.
Substack has gone through massive formatting changes, some subtle and I have seen them in real time.
As you are SMRT, it would be interesting to get the code they are using. I think I am being suppressed and other 'contrary' authors think the same.
I'm not that smart, trust your judgement first of all.
I'm definitely noticing a lot of shadowbanning and making my comments invisible on YouTube.
When I first signed up to substack, the immediacy of interaction and replies to my posts was very prominent.
Now I'm not so sure.

Great write up.
thank you.
I'm finding all websites (at least ones selling goods or service online) are starting to look identical too
Wish I could afford to do something new each month... LOL!
Yeah, AI without Ethics is a nightmare. I wrote a story and posted it to My forum. It's about AI and Ethics...
