Apple Intelligence gathers a huge amount of info about you, your relationships, and your activities to create a personal knowledge graph. It stores this info on your Apple devices. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

It recently came to light that the CEO of Proton is pushing engineers to develop its software using AI and treating them badly when they raise concerns. It made me realize that setting up an email address through my own domain would allow me to change providers when needed while keeping my email address the same.

One of the nifty features of a Write.as pro plan is the ability to publish via email. For some reason I've never made use of this feature until this post!
