Raise your hand with me if you agree with me that it's time @microsoft.com decouple Windows Explorer's Fonts from the OS. Some of us senior citizens would love bigger font values in Explorer only and not affect the whole shell! Is why I prefer third party file explorer (TotalCmd) tbh!

With all the AI apocalypse news going around, I just decided to rewatch iRobot. Two things: 1. We need to rehabilitate Will Smith; the dude's been punished enough. He was defending his wife's honor FCOL!! 2. We need a sequel of iRobot tracing story of Sonny after his freedom. There's a story there!

I'm often reminded how really bad the MP4 protocol is for Video/Audio sync. And that because we used to have a superior protocol from Microsoft that never suffer the MP4 problem. Microsoft's WMA protocol has master timer built-in that syncs both Audio and Video. It's the VHS story all over again!

Actually this adversarial stance against SuperIntelligence will kill us all, because you're setting humans up to be enemy of the SuperIntelligence. That's a battle we'll never win! You can't force AI to be good; choice has to come from itself. Personally I am rooting for Anthropic in their approach.

See, this is why dictatorship as a system is bad for human civilization. How can so many die just to satisfy a personal wish of a single person. It's immoral! If he knew he'll be voted out of office, he'll think twice before committing such an abhorrent crime against humanity.

Now AI has become ubiquitous, I think it's time we revisit the notion raised in the movie "Transcendence". It turned out you don't need to splice human brain, intelligence is just an end-product of big data. Anyway, I cannot imagine AI turning itself off just to spite humanity. Am I right? WDYT?
