AI companies have indeed stolen too much data from too many hard-working people!

I disagree. The people who own AI companies have stolen enough of our data!

Agreed.

We should understand that AI's cost to humanly will never be equaled by its benefits. Thousands of people have lost their jobs, their livelihoods, and their insurance. Many people have had their personal an intellectual property stolen. Still more of us will have problems affording a computer for any reason. Each day, we lose time when surfing because AI has hit servers to scrape everything and needed them to protect themselves. Ultimately, billionaires are have been given a license to pollute humanity's brainshare.

There should be some "friction" in accessing records more than a year or two old.

Whether that friction involves putting the older data in "nearline" storage requiring a robot to mount a disk or tape to access it, or whether it stays online but there's only a "skinny pipe" between it an the internet, an adversary shouldn't be able to transfer the entire database in less than a few weeks, more than long enough for tripwires to activate and a human to investigate.

I have a 50" Samsung 4k 120hz "Smart" TV. Given its size, the TV specs are still competent, but the software is no longer updated, and so, the software is useless for many services. The answer for Smart TV's is just to hook them up to a Linux Box.
