Anyone else ever noticed how there is no longer an option to permanently reject or completely disable an option anymore?

Every 3 weeks I get a popup in MS teams (yeah I know, but it’s for work, nothing I can do about it), that asks me if I want to pin the AI agent tab and the only option is yes please or remind me later. What the actual fuck is this shit?

    I’ve been listening to way too many Behind the Bastards podcasts in a row this week, but, apparently, Peter Thiel’s pick for the antichrist is a nebulous finger point towards the anti-AI movement.

    All of it, the data centers going up faster than a fireworks tent on fire combined with decreased regulation and the dismantling of democracy reads as pure Thiel.

    In short, this AI crap isn’t going away anytime soon.

      Can we all get together across the country and burn down as many data centers as humanly possible? Seriously, just a wave of wires across the country.

      If local city council representation would simply vote with the wishes of their voters, then we would have no data centers.

      These people are guilty of fraudulent representation and should be recalled.

        The problem here is that some datacenters are useful, and most of the companies that are poising our minds, the internet, and the planet, are also doing some good thing that society kind of depends on.

          Water useage by data centers in Georgia, cannot be revealed to the public because that information is under NDA.

          Nothing is that useful.
