Or are they just going to rename it "advanced features" like they did with notepad and others?

I fewl like it's a national security risk to not have energy independence from fossil fuels as a consumable. My gas price says so. And the coming food and plastics shortages that are on the way as well.
If it gets us to kick fossil fuels, that'd be great imo. Remove the oil subsidies! Ya'll wanted to cut government spending, right?
That's one of the scary things about all this "age verification" bs. Not only is it just mass surveillance, but in "protecting minors" from "adult content" those of us who identify as LGBTQ are labelled as adult content just for existing by these fundamentalists. Entire swaths of people will be banned just for existing, especially once Palantir gets as much data as possible and flags IDs and faces as LGBTQ dissidents.
Not that they would ever get punished, but if they did, it should be based on a percentage of their net worth. None of this "oh, 200 billion annually? Please pay your $100 fine"
I'd keep an eye out. They also "backed off" including AI in Notepad and "other places it didn't make sense."
Turns out that just meant removing the Copilot branding and calling the AI features "Writing Tools."
