While I was working on compiling a PDF proof of some writing drafts this morning, I realized MS had "enhanced" office with AI. Without asking, without consent.

I was able to do the registry edit solution and now the AI.exe task does not appear to be loading when I go in to work on a draft.

No, there must be some other reason.

Peer pressure. Not enough sex on campus (yes, really, Google it). Soros paying them. Antisemitism. Brainwashing.

Anything but the simplest explanation: good people demanding that bad people stop what they’re doing.

Nate Silver Nate Silver @NateSilver538 This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.

    @thomasfuchs young people have the advantage of not having baked in opinions; perceptive young people follow the obvious things they see with their own eyes and act accordingly. the mental gymnastics of "that genocide was bad, but this one is fine" are a lot more convoluted and rooted in opinion and social elements than "i think genocide is bad actually"
