Do you want neuralink? I really don't like the invasive aspect of it.

I turned off all assists to typing on this iPhone. They kept giving me maddening substitites for my words.

Going to fire up the computer now. The one with the giant lighted keyboard. And the FORWARD DELETE KEY, the single greatest efficiency booster since the invention of the "vi" editor. The "dot" command alone has saved years of work (slight hyperbole there)

And no AI. EVER. I speak for myself. Otherwise no point in living.

Note to Apple: why can't I get a lighted keyboard from you for any amount of money, unless I buy a laptop, where it drains battery, rather than the power grid?
