Maybe pouring your heart out to a chatbot hosted externally is a *bad* idea. This details a VPN exfiltrating what are supposedly "private conversations" (lol), but to be clear: any chatbot platform could do this on their own.

I can't endorse this highly enough. If Lina Khan were to run for president, I would vote for her in a hot minute. To have her in a position directing policy development once more is a huge win for the people of NYC and the USA more generally.
Khan's appointment sends a message to the tech industry, whose most powerful players have already been critical of Mamdani, a Democratic socialist.
