Urban VPN is a particularly bad offender. It intercepts all your conversations with ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI bots (glad I don't use any), and sends them to the VPN vendor for resale. This is nuts.

I can't get past how deeply addicted the author is to AI. They seem to be wholly dependent on AI. Just read the article up until the first time Urban VPN is mentioned. It seems like this person manages their personal and emotional life via AI and their "research" (as they proclaim themselves a "security researcher") primarily consisted of, you guessed it, asking AI.

I'd developed a level of candor with my AI assistant that I don't have with most people in my life.

What a sad way to live.

Psychotherapists, best friends, financial advisors, emotional support, all personal problems, etc. Yes, too many people have given AI control over their lives with so much information that could be used for blackmail.
