So a few hundred Sherpa (profession) would be completely unable to find other jobs, like their hundreds of thousands of bretheren have somehow managed to do.
Look, I don't want people to die on Everest. But nobody is forced to go there, not even the Sherpas. They choose to go there. They know what they're getting into and what the risks are. If you're going to feel bad for them then you should also feel bad for the climbers, and vice versa.
According to Wikipedia there's ~600,000 Sherpas in the world. Are you seriously saying that the only thing they can do to avoid poverty is work as Everest guides (or have an extended family member doing it)?
Only to the extent that Google's search results already had Reddit data in them. This AI is summarizing the search results it's being given, not making stuff up on its own.
But it doesn't suck. The AI is summarizing the search results it's getting. If the search results say things that are wrong, the summary will also be wrong. Do you want the AI to somehow magically be the arbiter of objective reality? How would it do that?
On two occasions I have been asked, – "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question"
-- Charles Babbage
This confusion would appear to continue to this day.
Why is it even remotely surprising or unexpected that an AI that's summarizing web search results for you can sometimes give false, misleading, or dangerous answers? The search results contain false, misleading, and dangerous answers sometimes. The problem is not the AI. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing.
I work for a big giant corporation and plenty of its computers don't run Enterprise Windows.
A lawsuit would come in the case that Microsoft was lying about whether you could disable those features. Microsoft has put toggles for them into the settings, if it turns out that those toggles don't actually disable the things they claim to disable then that's where Microsoft is going to face legal issues. Do you really think Microsoft cares enough about the tiny portion of their customer base that's going to change the default settings that they would risk that sort of lawsuit to "spy" on them?
But this really isn't a registry key or tool, though. Did you click my link? It's a simple on/off toggle in the system settings menu. You just open the settings and click "off." I don't see how much simpler they could make it.
Do you really believe you can disable and remove all of the numerous data collection and spyware components that are baked into all aspects of the OS?
Yes. Because Windows is used by a lot of big giant corporations that would sue the hell out of Microsoft if it wasn't possible to disable those features.
I trust that Microsoft fears the lawsuits that would ensue if they were caught lying about it, and that they wouldn't derive any significant benefit from lying about it. Why would they?
Whereas I use Windows 11 on all of my machines, including one I use for my job as a programmer and regularly put through the wringer, and I don't actually know what the Windows 11 version of the blue screen of death looks like because I have never crashed the OS. I can't recall the last time I saw a bug like what you're describing, either. So I don't know what you're doing wrong with your Windows 11 install, but it seems I've somehow avoided it without particularly trying.
