It's also important to note that it beat doctors in diagnosing in a way doctors do not diagnose.

Yeah, "we're going to remove copilot" only to remove the literally word copilot

And as the person who raised the issue said

> The frustrating part is that it's not a workflow _or_ model issue, but a silently-introduced limitation of the subscription plan. They switched thinking to be variable by load, redacted the thinking so no one could notice, and then have been running it at ~1/10th the thinking depth nearly 24/7 for a month. That's with max effort on, adaptive thinking disabled, high max thinking tokens, etc etc.

So Boris' explanation isn't really an explanation.

> And neither denounces partially autonomous mass surveillance nor closes the door on AI-driven foreign mass surveillance

You have to be deliberately naive in a world where five eyes exists to somehow believe that "foreign" mass surveillance won't be used domestically.

The only reason you get to keep the book is because no bothers to enforce the law, this doesn't make it legal.

And it is your job to check that you have the rights to use other people's work. Ignorance is not a defence.

It's not just throwing QA out, they are actively striving for lower quality because it saves money.

They're chasing that sweet cost reduction by making cheap steel without regard for what it'll be used for in the future.

New comment by nhinck2 in "What if AI is both good and not that disruptive?"

nhinck2 — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 22:09:31 +0000

Yes because the act of "moving them up the stack" could have the opportunity cost of preventing real change that would actually improve health outcomes.

AI could allow the whole system to kick the can down the road.

It doesn't because the enterprise group policy doesn't which is what this sets.

Mozilla decided to give businesses the ability to turn off generative AI features about 6 months ago.
