Yikes! Next time University of Michigan wants a meeting, I will insist on scheduling because they use Zoom. Weird spot to be in when Microsoft is the lesser evil.

Everyone Zooming now should give the finger to the camera. For the entire session. Or a (temporary!) tattoo on the forehead?

Welp, there goes my weekly Zoom yoga attendance - unless I wear a mask. The data mining for AI and other privacy violations are really out of control. Last week, a local medical system covering three hospitals was reported as a victim of a ransomware attack. This article points out risks of medical identity fraud that can result from scenarios like that. I don’t want to imagine what AI could do with that data, either.
This morning, I got an email from my condo management company that they are starting a new AI property management service. 
So, instead of calling an office to speak with a person they want residents to text questions or requests for assistance. It’s promoted as a free service (of course) but there’s no way in hell I’m giving the folks running this a cell number or enabling any plans to get rid of our online portal and office staff.
