I’ve been listening to way too many Behind the Bastards podcasts in a row this week, but, apparently, Peter Thiel’s pick for the antichrist is a nebulous finger point towards the anti-AI movement.

Thats been a thing for many years.
It's very telling that despite changing to the "settings" menu for user settings, they've still got links to the old menus 10+ years later. I think the powertoys community has done more windows feature adds than Microsoft has in the last 20 years.
It stopped popping up for me after a while.
This is news?
