A short note of affirmation on a couple of important items.

There is a movement boycotting chat GPT. headlined by, among others Mark Ruffalo an actor and an individual I respect. And after researching the issue for 30 to 40 minutes this afternoon I believe it's a worthy endeavor even though I will lose quite a bit of work that I have done through them that will have to be recreated. There are Reports, that leadership at chat GPT contributed $25 million to the campaign of the Dark Empire.

Proton.me Is an encrypted email service, beginning to end Which offers free accounts providing their users secure email communications that cannot be tapped into by anyone. They also have a relatively recent AI engine they have developed called Lumo. I am not saying that l can at this time entirely replace chat GPT, I suspect that's not the case, but I did submit two small scripting requests to Lumo, and it came back quickly with a solution to my need.

Proton is a Swiss company with a sterling reputation for privacy and security and we all know that he swiss reputation for privacy in their banking industry is unquestioned. I am highly recommending to everyone that they establish an account at proton.me and also for Lumo AI which is at the same company. Spent some time researching the business background of the CEO and While the initial results were mixed a deeper dive satisfied me almost completely that this person is in fact a progressive. At worst case he is a PHD in physics from Harvard University which clearly indicates he's a man of science. Also that he has financially supported a number of causes in lockstep with George Soros which stamps him as an enemy of the Dark Empire and therefore my friend!
