This is AI related, and a very disturbing to me post. I bought a Chrome book that had mostly good reviews. It was on sale for $129. This thing is the worst thing I have ever had. It was loaded full of AI but I only got it to play frequencies for sleep. It was sort of ok at first, then it got worse until I was watching a video and it just shut down. I would click on something it would send me somewhere else. Even if it was the volume button it just sent me where it wanted, this site included. Today it shut down and would not turn back on. Then I found it shut off all my computers, and I could not turn any of them. It took me forever to get them come back on. There are videos on you tube that show how to remove AI from your computer. I am going there next, as these are making it wore every time. The AI uploads in secret, and ignores the no update for 5 weeks command. It is making my computer hard to use.

mine goes haywire if it gets warm. I do wonder if AI is fucking with our shit
Yes, AI is fucking with our shit. It is listening on every device, unless you have painstakingly gone through every app after every update and shut that feature off. It spies on what you search and shows you ads that are related to your searches.
Exactly why I go through Every app after Every update and SHUT THAT FEATURE OFF.
So what was it called when it did this very thing 15 years ago?
IDK, I wasn’t paying close enough attention like I should have.
The key with ai is we know about it and can weaponize it back.
They've been stealing our info and tracking us everywhere for decades, but now it's out in the open and everyone can use it.
My computer never did any of that. Of course I built my own desktop from scratch. I went to the big city computer store, got a shopping cart, and told the head geek to help me pick the best parts and the biggest case they had. This was about 13 years ago.
Your computer did exactly that.
You building it (like I have done for 30 years) doesn't protect you. You bought off the shelf. You're at the mercy of hardware which enhances the software
but is it AI making things go haywire? simultaneously driving you insane. as if it's malicious in a way?
Wish I knew.
Excuse my ignorance, but what feature should I be turning off after updates? Mac user here.
Not sure about Mac, I can tell you about iphone though and maybe that will help you find it on mac. I go to general settings, find Apps, and go through each app to check it’s accessibility to my camera, photos, and microphone, contacts, and whatever else it can possibly have access to.
My hard drive died about 2 hours after a forced update
