I cannot emphasize this enough: Please do not use AI tools as therapy. Not only is it not a good replacement for actual therapy, but your chat logs could be shared with the government, and I don't think you need a reminder that especially right now in the US, that could put you in danger.

Big Tech wants you to share your private thoughts with chatbots — while backing a government with contempt for privacy.

In preparation for the TikTok ban, I've been trying out Xiaohongshu (Red Note), the Chinese app that has a very TikTok-like feel and interface. So far, it's fascinating, as it's becoming a mix of native Chinese content and English-speaking videos. It could potentially be a good alternative.

Big loss for the business community. Dick Parsons was a legend and — by all accounts — a very decent human being.
