Choices:

The meaning to life includes to some extent the opportunity for individuals to make those type of choices, good or bad, right or wrong, and the ability to install an AI app for example might be more preferable over not having a choice in the matter when it comes to human egocentric tyranny.

On & Off

It depends on the AI. Like, if it is just an AI program, then you can turn that on and you can turn that off.

Remote

The problem is when technology has backdoors, remote access, spyware, etc, etc, etc. Hypothetical, technology is fine. But that is theoretical to a point. In real life, it is tricky, complex.

Drawing Lines

I would try not to draw a line. Well, a line is better than no line. But it is better to simply run away from tyranny, etc. The problem is that control freaks weaponize tech to get to us. But we have been countering with alternative tech as a reaction and as a way to compete with the globalists. It's important to try your best to trust tech developers, web developer, app developers, people who are trying their best to build hardware, software, etc, that compete against the ghetto social networks, the Chine Apple Phones, etc.

Trust

We cannot always trust each other for many reasons. We know that. But we can sometimes attempt to trust some people and some things at times when they earn that trust to an extent and for a while. It is also critical to remain optimistic and yet skeptical at the same time.
