  • Steal their work? well, but mathematician worked a lot of years on the problem without a solution, means that their work wasn’t correct. Apart scientific papers are accessible by everyone, not only AIs. Maybe the mathematicians have to think a little more about teamwork, storing their work locally or encrypted, instead claims about copyright and AI stealing their work. But the capabillity of AIs is to be able to find interrelations between millons of datas in hours, something for what humans need decades to do the same. That is the point and also the danger of AI, it get the data it needs from everywhere and web content is open, AI don’t have any ethics or respect of copyrights, all web content is information as is. All you put online is public (or everything online) by definition, there isn’t any copyright to avoid it.








  • It’s few Microsoft can do legally, there is no change in the OS as such, you need a valid and legal Windows installation to use AtlasOS, they can’t avoid the user choice using other services and tools instead of the inbuild ones, in updates there are only important security updates, which are not a problem if you continuo using the Defender (recomendable). Atlas exist since ~10 Years, also there isn’t a problem with it, same as with the apps to debloat Windows, which also exist since a lot of years. Windows as such is a decent OS, it’s same as others based on Unix. It’s bad because the garbadge, telemetries, AIs and “Services to improve the user experience” in it by default. It’s the same as with stock Android respect de-googled Android and forks, it’s not Android which is bad (it’s in essence Linux), it’s all the crap Google put in it.




  • A lot, you can strip out almost everything in Windows to the level of the OS as such (as I’ve done since years, using the bare OS with only the needed, all other by third party FOSS). The problem in Windows is not this, but that MS calculates that the majority of users do not do it, because many things are undocumented and it is necessary to dive through countless menus and submenus to reach the corresponding configurations, often not very intuitive. This is why there are apps that take care of it. like ShutUp10, Optimizer and similar, or they directly intercept the corresponding layers on the OS like this AtlasOS… But all this can also be done manually without problems, but with the condition that you know well what you are doing, nothing for beginners. Even so, always with a lot of caution.






  • Valid on both side, honest soft and services vs which are not, the worst malware is mostly FOSS which you can find in the onion. Also nowadays the biggest FOSS catalogue is by Google Labs and Microsoft, FOSS to make money. There are others, like the famose Irfanview, free proprietary soft and absolute trustworth and definitively the best which you can find, there don’t exist a real OpenSource alternative.





  • Nice history, but the extension works as it should and its not a VPN (none of browser “VPN” extensions really is), but a proxy for which I use it sometimes for mentioned reasons. CyberGhost currently has alway an excellent review in IT publications and independent benchmarks, it don’t log and also don’t has any bandwith limits in the proxy only limits in the amount of servers, which is free to use (incomes through premium accounts in its VPN service). Nothing fishy in it. Windscribe is also good, but the free versin has a data limit, not so good for streaming services.
