The article states it's created via executive order, or let's call it a dictat shall we? So does it need to pass congress?

I recently deleted my creative cloud account. I was only using a free version to work on some Adobe XD files. At deletion they asked me for a reason. So I told them I thought their business practices were disgusting. Not that I think it will actually change anything but if only we could collectively do that thing...
I don't really get what you are trying to say. But having the web browser with the worst security reputation ever still in the codebase is just mindboggling. But sure, Microsoft doesn't care about Windows unless it's about whatever stupid fad is in swing (AR, AI,...). Removing all that exploitable code would be difficult because a lot of parts of Windows are probably still intertwined with it and it doesn't add anything to the bottom line. In a serious organization it would be done anyway but this is Microsoft so par for the course.
So saying you've used a straw man argument now is an ad-hominem? And in the same post you dare to use the word "snowflake"? Are you that thick?
Anyway, Microsoft makes ample money from Windows and all other lines of business where it uses its dominant market force and monopoly to fleece its users. So no need to start crying for the poor Microsoft engineer not getting its paycheck.
Some people's reality really is distorted. Sheez.
Any new language or framework tends to be like this. And then come the templates, modules, new features, newer features that do the same better but not in case of xyz, etc. And by then it's time for a new language that's elegant and clear. And the whole cycle starts again. That's not to say I don't think Rust in particular has a lot of things going for it.
The potential benefit is time saving: it writes eloquent text and it can write working code. But that of course only works if the user actually understands the outputs. So a "prompt engineer" role will never exist. Apart from that, the big question remains if the time saved outweigh the massive cost.
Would be an obligation for bots to start every paragraph with the words "this may or may not be true, i have no way of knowing". That way it's easily spotted in the "journalism" of the lazy reporter class. It would also clearly lay the blame with the reporter who decides to remove that phrase. And it would also make it clear to the believers that the technology is a bullshit generator with a good accuracy rate.
In Word (and PowerPoint) you are supposed to use the compress pictures tool to remove cropped parts and size them down. I actually find this useful in a text editor because it allows you to revert the crop or resize the images before finalizing the document. You can always use an image editor of course.
With respect to the first part of your comment, 100% agree.
