I used to have Spotify. Figured I'm using YouTube more, so I switched to premium and cancelled Spotify instead. Was a good decision for me, but not everyone watches as much. It's basically my main source of entertainment.
I only have four or five extensions and YouTube videos lag. It's Firefox. I'll still not switch to anything else, but I could imagine a clean Chrome without anything added and zero bookmarks purely as video platform.
Writing, of course. I'm in the middle of a new project, which will be a pretty long space opera series. Not worrying about publishing any of it anytime soon, though, and I'm still tackling parts of the backstory and the arcs of various characters while the first part of the first book is already drafted.
It's crazy that this is even necessary. I can't imagine the sheer amount of crap people upload every day, completely ruining it for us serious Indie writers in the process.
Now people will avoid self published books even more than before.
The point I was trying to make is, all the information about viruses and nuclear bombs are already readily available. AI doing the googling for you will not have an actual impact, especially considering what else you'll need to make it all work.
I would assume you get the fear of AI from the news media. Understandable, they have a vested interest in keeping you afraid. AI is gonna steal their ad revenue, when you won't have to visit their shitty websites anymore.
Why hospice, is he terminally ill?
