"Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.
If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.
I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:
On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”: File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”"

@SuperSnekFriend We still don't know if Trump is going to follow RFK's advice though. He still hasn't denounced Operation Warpspeed, despite RFK supposedly being anti-vax.
Also, RFK Jr supposedly was caught plagiarizing slogans and talking points from Dr. Shiva, but I have no proof of this as I haven't listened to all of Shiva's talking points. I've only briefly listened to Dr. Shiva and he claimed that RFK steals from him.
@beardalaxy @tomie If it's truly double digits worldwide, then that means that you are more likely to get struck by lightning TWICE than to ever come across a person with XY chromosomes that can get pregnant.
@cjd Ending the fed and income tax is a HUGE promise and even if Trump is truly on our side, I don't see it going down that easily.
But I don't expect much from the guy who started Operation Warpspeed and still won't denounce it.
@beardalaxy @PurpCat @jeff It probably is one, given the mainstream coverage and fake decentralization.

@souldessin @PurpCat I think perpetual energy is still possible. If the Electric Universe theory is proven true we can tap the energy from the electric currents flowing through the universe, thus giving us an infinite supply of electricity.
