Look up the phenomenon called “Chatbot Psychosis”. In its current form, especially with GPT4 that was specifically designed to be a manipulative yes-man, chatbots can absolutely insidiously mess up someone’s head enough to push them to the act far beyond just answering the question of how to do it like a simple web search would.

I’d say it’s more akin to a bread company saying that it is a violation of the terms and services to get sick from food poisoning after eating their bread.

This is some dystopian shit. I never cheated at a test and wouldn’t even want to take a test under those dehumanizing conditions.

But not the cheat sheet post-it notes she could have put all around her computer screen

Pearson using all sorts of extremely invasive and questionable kernel-level access plugins to make sure people don’t open notes to cheat on their test on their computer. People just open their notes on another device. Or, you know, paper.

“Upgrade”

What do you mean? That would be horrible!

AI is great at pursuing the ideal you give it, in that case “make money”, and finding all sorts of counterintuitive ways to pursue that ideal the best it can with complete disregard to anything else that could distract from it including humanity’s interests and morality. It would destroy the planet just to make more money… oh wait no nevermind now I see CEOs do that already.

The harder they’ll try to force feed it down their customer’s throats by making it increasingly prominent and obnoxiously insisting in the interface, the more people will hate it.

How can Microsoft still not know that fact after doing it for over three decades is beyond me.

Sounds like an Activision-Blizzard problem to me.

I kinda like being able to watch a video on one screen and not having to make sure that there are no animations going on anywhere else or the video framerate drops like it’s 1996.

Great. Now bring back Windows 7

You’re telling me I’ve been brushing twice a day all my life for nothing?

Man, what a bummer.

This image makes the Windows logo look like a political alignment chart and now I can’t unsee it.

The hero we need

Hypocritical corporate virtue signaling at best

Samsung makes shit appliances that are particularly non-repairable anyway.

Picking up a few pages out of Elmo’s book I see. He forgot the part where he distracts from the blatant underdelivery with more empty exaggerated promises!

May I ask how you got that patched version and how you can trust it?
