Something about this is absolutely hilarious to me. Sad though when thinking about it critically.

We are operating with different definitions, I guess. Vladimir Putin absolutely is a Russian “elite” under my world view.

Who are those with “a lot of money to throw at it” that are not the elites?

Oh so the OP of this thread is just worried for no reason (about krisp). That’s great news!

But it’s likely I already agreed to the strings when I agreed to my company’s demand that we use Teams.

Bingo. The licenses were agreed to when the product was purchased, not when you click “yes, ok, show me the tutorial”

I mean it sucks and I don’t use these tools either despite them being forced into my work machine, but if you’re getting psychic damage every morning bc the pop up you could just click through it and ignore the shit tools from there. That’s all I’m saying, your sanity is worth clicking a few buttons.

Great. Sorry for confusing you with my vague “your company did x” in my previous reply. I was trying to refer to the OP commenter I replied to in this thread. If a feature is enabled and provisioned to you, it’s largely true that your company has already accepted the license agreement for you to use it. I wish my company didn’t shove ai everywhere but many are and as employees (in the US atelast) we don’t have any ability to not agree to these terms.

This is incorrect, the license agreement is accepted upon purchase and provisioning to users. You, as a user, clicking through the onboarding tutorial is not the license agreement.

It’s a work computer and your it team and legal department has already approved usage of these tools. Sure, you do whatever you think is right but your company has already agreed to that license. You are already bound by it through your employment and usage of employer provided tools

It’s a work computer (it has teams on it). It’s already enabled and collecting data as approved by the IT team. Why do you care?

You could just click yes, do whatever two minute intro it has and then ignore the feature forever from there.

Instead you click no every time and complain that it pops up again the next time, knowing that it’ll pop up again tomorrow

Listen I hate these tools too but you have a solution here that’ll make it so the tool will stop pestering you so that you can truly ignore it.

If I wanted to talk to NPCs at length I’d just type into a fucking chat bot. I play games to experience the developers story and vision, not endlessly prompt an npc.

I think your experience will be a common one for players.

Great for you. You did say “almost every workflow”. How many workflows exist beyond your own lived experience? Do you work on games, do you know all the workflows there? Citation absolutely fucking needed.

So what’s your process and how is it a boon?

Just noticed the road sign doesn’t match the exit the car is taking. Pointing left, but car going right.

Yeah… over wolf was enshittified from the start lol

We aren’t on Fox news here. Your concern trolling is also a nothingburger

Thanks. I don’t really participate on game discords and enjoyed playing battlebit. I saw very communicative devs early on and then nothing from them. I guess I assumed wrong.

Still seems like if they stuck around the game mightve survived

I’m pretty sure the game died because the devs vanished, not specifically due to player backlash. If the devs stuck around and kept delivering updates things would likely have been different.

Robotics has to get wildly cheaper and safer to replace any meaningful amount of work beyond factories or assembly lines

What do you mean?
