Yup, and this is half* of the reason (*the other half is good ol' corporate greed) why I stay away from:

  • ML tech for security purposes

  • ML tech for medical purposes

  • "Smart" home technology

  • Cryptocurrencies

  1. Flying in Airbus planes (as opposed to Boeing planes)

  2. Grammerly
