100% cynically. It's a game of infinite money glitch (also known as "grab as much as you can before it's over") and has been at least since GPT-3.

I want to add my interpretation of the phrasing "rewrite people's awareness" to make it read less tinfoil-hatted:

"rewire brains for AI dependency" (for money and power reasons obvious to everyone).

In contrast to "secretly implant an agenda about non-AI subject N", which is complicated enough that AI companies are still too out of control to be attempting yet.

I think the best defense against this is to delete the Microsoft account and enjoy a better life. (Unless, of course, you need it for Minecraft.)

>> If you have no idea what I'm talking about I highly recommend you start trying mechanical switches.

I recommend instead just buying one decent keyboard and using your money on something useful.

The trick is to sell tickets based on the cost at time of sale, and just cancel flights when it's convenient.

I think tips are one of the more crucial parts of a blade, so if you care about how that blade works you probably don't want the shape to deviate there.

Commonly, white finishes don't age well. That's at least part of the historical reason.

0.5mm is the clearance, not the tolerance. Tolerance must be significantly smaller than clearance.

If you're okay with some of your fans being noisy and/or inefficient, I'm sure you can work with flimsy tolerances.

If you're Apple (or even Apple-sized), you can get a bunch of things others can't.

Not from principle. Marketing is hateful work and almost necessarily anti-art, so I don't care. Of course you can do it badly (for example, unironically advertise to an artist audience with terrible slop illustrations).

I can believe the company does their best to keep the records private.

...until they're inevitably sold.

Because Windows is a garbage product and they would quickly wipe out its userbase by doing that.

I mostly meant getting to call your product barely used AI toilet paper instead of just barely used toilet paper.

I don't get that impression from that page. It definitely doesn't say you can't buy a tailored recommendation list to promote your product specifically, but I don't believe all of the listed products have paid for their existence on the site (for now. That might be the end goal though.)

Yes, it really is that simple. They chose that responsibility the moment they allowed those characters. Any deductions done after that need to have a failsafe with the expectation they will break a clueless user's device.
