I'M TRYING TO "JUST SAY NO" TO AI
- I will protect private and sensitive information.
- I will verify factual claims before repeating them.
- I will not misrepresent machine output as human expertise or lived experience.
- I will use tools to support people, not to replace care, judgement, or accountability.
- I will keep human craft at the centre where voice, trust, and meaning matter.

It is comfortable to continue in the rat race. I don’t like how comfortable I am.
Starting to engage again with a solar installer. Thinking hard about doing it not just to save money but also for the planet!
Very sad I haven’t been able to get a solar system yet. I don’t actually know the difference in ROI between getting that and paying off our mortgage sooner and investing in the S&P. Feeling like it has to be less about cash but why? Our economic system needs to solve for big things not me!
Or no? Am I interested in solar because I want to save the planet? Or because I don’t want to have a power outage? Or save money?
