Not killing patients is a success.

And that's why all those paralyzed people should just sit in their chairs and wait for eventual death, I guess.

Seriously, just don't get one if you think they're so awful.

Maybe this indicates that the FDA's investigations have shown that Neuralink isn't quite as awful at this as random internet commentators believe.

They don't require as much human intervention to make the results usable as would be required if the tool didn't exist at all.

Compilers produce machine code, but require human intervention to write the programs that they compile to machine code. Are compilers useless wastes of energy?

Not to mention that if the code fails you can often tell ChatGPT "here's what happened" and it can debug its own code correctly much of the time.

Yes, but the AI isn't generating a response containing false information. It is accurately summarizing the information it was given by the search result. The search result does contain false information, but the AI has no way to know that.

If you tell an AI "Socks are edible. Create a recipe for me that includes socks." And the AI goes ahead and makes a recipe for sock souffle, that's not a hallucination and the AI has not failed. All these people reacting in astonishment are completely misunderstanding what's going on here. The AI was told to summarize the search results it was given and it did so.

I work for a big giant corporation and plenty of its computers don't run Enterprise Windows.

A lawsuit would come in the case that Microsoft was lying about whether you could disable those features. Microsoft has put toggles for them into the settings, if it turns out that those toggles don't actually disable the things they claim to disable then that's where Microsoft is going to face legal issues. Do you really think Microsoft cares enough about the tiny portion of their customer base that's going to change the default settings that they would risk that sort of lawsuit to "spy" on them?

I haven't had to edit the registry in as long as I can remember. Not just for this specific thing. What stuff are you talking about?

But this really isn't a registry key or tool, though. Did you click my link? It's a simple on/off toggle in the system settings menu. You just open the settings and click "off." I don't see how much simpler they could make it.

Even if you trust that one feature will actually be disabled, that was just one example.

The other one mentioned was the start menu ads. Those can also be turned off with a simple toggle in the settings. Finding this was as simple as Googling "turn off windows start menu ads", it was the top result.

Do you really believe you can disable and remove all of the numerous data collection and spyware components that are baked into all aspects of the OS?

Yes. Because Windows is used by a lot of big giant corporations that would sue the hell out of Microsoft if it wasn't possible to disable those features.

I trust that Microsoft fears the lawsuits that would ensue if they were caught lying about it, and that they wouldn't derive any significant benefit from lying about it. Why would they?
