   This should be illegal. Microsoft Is Forcing Its AI Assistant on People—And Making Them Pay https://www.msn.com/en-us/technology/tech-companies/microsoft-is-forcing-its-ai-assistant-on-people-and-making-them-pay/ar-AA1wvWTb The Copilot is based on OpenAI. I believe it is time to take Microsoft to court for unauthorized use of others' work as well.

     @nixCraft The people affected by this chose MS products. There are alternatives and there are also ways to disable or reduce Copilot's presence on a system. I don't use Windows except a VM I use for running iTunes to buy music from Apple because they have a great music catalogue.

     I fookin' hate Kia due to a long ago bad experience, but I don't support prosecuting their leaders. I just won't ever buy their janky cars. I also won't buy another computer with Windows for the same reason.

     @nixCraft I have stopped using Linkedin (owned by MSFT) because they encourage everyone with a specialty to write short articles on a topic in order to feed their AI. And they steal everything you publish, too. I stopped using the site as it is asking an arm and a leg for a business account, yet still waste one's time with paid for ads like a 100 times a day, mess up the timeline with unwanted content and hide the creators I am trying to follow. Enshittification squared, by any standard

     @nixCraft windows users had a lot of chances to switch to linux, in ~2012 when winxp ended, 2018 when they offered "free" win10, and now this abomination called windows 11

     @nixCraft China has declared all government computers will be free of Windoze by 2026. I'm hoping their switch to KylinOS will be enough to break the Windoze-vendor software tie-in. I will be using Win 10 for that one program I need for work until it is so broken it won't work at all. Even then, I distrust M$ so much, I disconnect from the internet.
