The one gun manufacturer who heard this slogan, and said "hold my beer" :D

I think I explained why this is different from the point of view of it being "encouraged" vs. "available". If your employer provides a tool in an official capacity (for example, through single-sign-on, etc.), then you may treat it more like the internal FBI database vs. "Google". Additionally, many of these AI tools you listed don't have the breadth or depth of OpenAI (whether it be "deep research" which itself encourages you to give it documents, etc.). All that being said, yes, there already existed issues with AI, but that's not really a reason to say "oh well", right? It's probably an indication that the right move is developing clear policies on how and when to use these tools. This feels an awful lot like the exact opposite approach: optimizing for "only paying a dollar to use them" and not "exercising caution and safely exploring if there is a benefit to be had without new risk".
>I think I explained why this is different from the point of view of it being "encouraged" vs. "available".
You certainly did. It appears that this point was lost on them.
Thanks for elaborating again.

All of this is acting as if government computers don’t have AI currently. They do in fact, though mostly turned off. The default browser search now pops up an AI assistant. By default my government org has some old crappy free AI on Microsoft edge.
>They do in fact, though mostly turned off.
Well yeah, that's the entire point.
It's turned off for a good reason, and it should stay that way.
This isn't about availability in general. It's about being officially available. The comment you are responding to explicitly reasoned why it matters.
Ha, I've done the same. I never thought I'd become like my old grandpa, who didn't like when TV stations started adding crawls to the bottom of the screen for certain news/information so put electric tape across the bottom of the screen.
If they're going to do LEDs, at least do red ones, which don't obliterate night vision. Making them togglable is the ideal unless they're literally a life-or-death piece of equipment.

Your grandpa implemented an IRL Adblock.
He was really ahead of his time.
A related problem: I do get some natural light, but also a lot of night-time light from the apartment complex parking-lot lamps.
I've been thinking of a time-controlled motor on my window blinds.
Literally same here. Could've written your comment word for word.
That was going to be my DIY project, time to finally do it, I guess.
My brand new car has a feature called forward attention warning which is driving me insane. It is essentially a small camera located at the steering wheel column which emit a series of high beeps and have an eye icon blink in the dashboard if the car doesn't think I am looking forward.
Cases in which this can happen. - I orient myself before overtaking another car on the highway or motorway. - I position my hand wrong on the steering wheel and the camera can no longer see me. - I put on sunglasses when I am driving against a low sun.
It can be turned off, but if you live in the EU it is required to enable itself once the car has been turned off/on.
It will also happily warn me if it thinks I am speeding based on errornous gps data. This feature also turns itself back on once the car has been turned off.
Thanks, looks like I'll be repairing my 2010 Honda Fit (Jazz in EU markets) forever to avoid getting anything of the sort of antifeatures you describe.
That, or the manufacturers and regulators wisening up, but I ain't holding my breath for that.
Same with touchscreen controls in a vehicle.
While we're at it, can we do something about the gigalumen blue light every device seems to have to indicate on/charging/charged? My house looks like a dystopia spaceship after dusk.
I've had to put a layer of electric tape, sometimes two of them, on some of those just to get the bedroom to a level where it's dark enough to sleep in comfortably.
They're so bright, you can see the damn blue circles on the ceiling. Blue moon rising, invited by no one.
Oooh now I wonder if I got the idea through subliminal message.
Maybe you got it from a bird :)
In all seriousness, like minds think alike, and Ben Jordan has a rebellious streak — he uploaded his own music to pirate websites when he broke up with his label [1].

BTW, forgot to add: the video literally suggests that when they estimate how much data can be stored in birds.
The visualization of the byte sequence coming out of the Bluetooth speaker [1] (at 18:36 -18:38) starts with the oh-so-familiar 09 F9 11 02 9D ...
Ben is one step ahead of you :)
