Making people opt-out of AI in Preferences, AI Controls (and using a double negative there), instead of having people install the AI stuff as extensions.
They have to default “AI” into it, otherwise nobody would use it. e.g. Copilot. If it was good they wouldn’t have to force it.

This entire post is the frog sitting in their comfortable pot of water saying “This is fine, nothing to worry about!”
This is what bugs me every time I see LTT Linus talking about Linux. He spent decades learning Windows. He immersed himself in it. Now he’s older and doesn’t realize the small amount of researching and “RTFM” for Linux is nothing compared to the energy he spent learning Windows stuff.
On the positive side - seeing stuff like this in others has helped me realize when I start exhibiting the same negative thoughts and behaviors.
“I already know X. I’m brilliant, so if I don’t currently know Y, it’s not worth knowing. I will ignore the 30 years it took me to get to where I am knowing X.”
Which fallacies cover this? I suppose we can start with Dunning-Kruger?
Only do work on work devices. This is a quick way to lose a job. Always assume the company sees everything that’s happening on their device. No way around it, and any attempt to get around it will raise the alarm. Just do the music/podcasts/etc… on another device. Why “need to be able to run it on their work PC”?
Because basically the only difference between a [$$$] consumer GPU and a [$$$$$] workstation/server GPU are software and a few extra memory chips (little bit hyperbole). If businesses could have been buying [$$$] GPUs and doing the same things they need to do on [$$$$$] GPUs (e.g. GPU Partitioning), Nvidia wouldn’t be where they are right now.
