  • Sorry, I think I did misread your comment, apologies.

    I do realize it’s growing in popularity, I am not suggesting anyone hide their head in the sand, though.

    I was trying to say that this narrative of “were doomed” and “theyre both bad choices” feeds into this problem. Its more false equivalency, and discourages voting. I realize you weren’t saying this, and that this IS what people are saying. But I still find it gobsmacking that people are seriously saying it’s hard to choose.

    So long as I can disable it, thats all I care about. If people want to use it, go for it. But I dont want my personal desktop use to train an AI, or have it butt in like Cortana.

    I get how it could be useful in certain settings but I feel like its offering help for a problem that doesnt exist most of the time. Like, do most people need generative AI to complete everyday desktop tasks?

    Also this sounds like a potential privacy nightmare, even for Microsoft.






  • The only mention of what the flavour was, was this:

    In research published in Nature Communications, USC Dornsife neuroscientist Emily Liman and her team found that the tongue responds to ammonium chloride through the same protein receptor that signals sour taste.

    “If you live in a Scandinavian country, you will be familiar with and may like this taste,” says Liman, professor of biological sciences. In some northern European countries, salt licorice has been a popular candy at least since the early 20th century. The treat counts among its ingredients salmiak salt, or ammonium chloride.

    So is this ‘mediciney’ flavour, then? (black licorish, ouzo, root beer, those weird candies they sell at ikea…)
