About

I'm Blake. I spent my twenties travelling solo, then uni, now ~alter.

The internet we have today is not the internet we'll have tomorrow. The internet isn't fun when there's this constant awareness you're being snooped and spied and identified. The knowledge that "if the product is free, you are the product" but you don't pay anyway because you think the company is evil. We all do it. We all hate it. We all deserve better.

It's time we found a better solution. ~alter is my attempt.

The next few years will be less about which AI you use and more about your relationship with it. We can't ask Jeeves forever.
