Both are issues, I agree. I think the phone we use is what we have the most control over though which is why I’d like to have a phone which is as good as I can get privacy-wise. (And any insight on what that phone/set-up would be, hence the question!)
If you view it through the lens of productivity sure… but a space race-esque race to develop AI by the companies that we have learnt quite brazenly do not care about breaking rules/laws to maximise profit and market share? Colour me a doomer.
