- Do We All Have A Social Credit Score? Solo In the Woods, April 2026, (26 mins). - Read the YouTube Comments in the link above.

In this video I discuss my personal views on the pros and cons, and why I see this becoming an even more invasion of our privacy and way of life.

WTF, Anthropic's Claude Code keeps track of every time you swear (*Cross - Post from LBN).
Source: Scientific American

On March 31 artificial intelligence company Anthropic accidentally leaked roughly 512,000 lines of code, and within hours, developers were poring over it. Among the surprises was code inside Claude Code, Anthropic’s AI coding assistant, that appears to scan user prompts for signs of frustration. It flags profanity, insults and phrases such as “so frustrating” and “this sucks,” and it appears to log that the user expressed negativity...

You *may* not face imprisonment, but you will find it difficult to get a job, borrow money, rent an apartment, etc. Your insurance premiums will be sky high if you are deemed unreliable.

Funny anecdote... when I published my first novel in 2004, an agent that I approached with my manuscript replied that I (quote)
had an "infantile attachment to the F-word".....OMG
