No doubt this is aimed at keeping the US dominate in the AI industry. We already did it, so let's make sure nobody else can copy us! Cloudflare says the information they present is accurate but not relevant to the subject searched. Other articles I've read say that sites have a robot.txt file that is supposed to be checked that will tell an AI not to crawl it. AI are just ignoring it, so they are poisoning the data. Interestingly, if Cloudflare is giving accurate information, it could still be trained on as long as the initial search is disregarded. Then again, Cloudflare says the information is generated by an AI, and it's not meant for human eyes, so who is really checking the validity of the information given? This also puts Cloudflare in an interesting position. Maybe it's not the rights holder that people need to pay, maybe it's the gatekeeper's toll that matters. Google has made a lot of money by gate keeping the search algorithm.

Cloudflare turns AI against itself with endless maze of irrelevant facts ARSTECHNICA.COM New approach punishes AI companies that ignore “no crawl” directives. I heard some websites were starting to do this, but Cloudflare doing it is a big deal. Cloudflare is everywhere. Poisoned data is a real threat to AI. As of yet, they haven't figured out how to train AI off AI generative content. (Although deepseek may have probed ChatGPT for answers). When AI starts training off AI generated data it starts hullicinating pretty quickly. That's what has kept AI companies from letting their AI run wild. What makes AI valuable is the vast reserve of data it can draw from, but they didn't create that data, they have been web crawling and stealing it. See Meta downloading pirated books as an example. Sam Altman's claim that the AI race is over if they cannot steal your data is far from true.

I also tried inserting the file names, didn't seem to make a difference.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Created by: Shawn Brink ; Created on: August 27, 2022 ; Updated on: September 1, 2023 ; Tutorial: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/change-default-system-font-in-windows-11.8590/ [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts] "Segoe MDL2 Assets (TrueType)"="" "Segoe Print (TrueType)"="" "Segoe Print Bold (TrueType)"="" "Segoe Script (TrueType)"="" "Segoe Script Bold (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Black (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Black Italic (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Emoji (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Historic (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Light Italic (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Semibold Italic (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Semilight (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Semilight Italic (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes] "Segoe UI"="Times New Roman" My testing showed it didn't make much difference. Search and login are still the same, and I don't think the clock changed. I miss when stuff was simple... Daily reminder, Linux is a thing! (Although I don't know I'd call it simple...)

The restore code has additional font lines of code, possibly adding them to the original change file might help. Just take the filename out of the quotations if you try it. Speaking of, that is an actual file it's pointing to, which has a different name than than Times New Roman, which might be why my earlier attempts didn't work. In the personalization font settings it does say what the font filename is. However I read the comments on the page it linked to and people were saying the start menu broke when they changed the Light options, which is why they weren't included. I don't know if that's something you want to mess with farther, but I leave it to you. Do put the restore file on your desktop if you try it, that way it's easy to navigate to if the start menu breaks... It's also possible to rebuild the start menu with powershell, so if what they encountered was an actual broken start menu that wasn't font related it could be fixed... I'm going to make some dinner, won't be of help for a while.

Eh yeah... I looked at my screenshots and it's no difference there. This is one of the reasons I moved away from windows... They made it really hard to change stuff I wanted to. My start menu is completely blank because I didn't want windows logging each program I opened. That's about as much help as I will be on this, sorry!

Did you reboot?

If you are having problems, make sure when you save the code in notebook, you choose save as all and make the end file name be ".reg", no quotes. Windows 11 likes to hide the file extensions and it's easy not to tell it .all, so it will add it's own file extension like .txt in the file. This used to not be a possibility, but lately with the ability to hide file extensions it's quite possible to see a filename.reg.txt with the .txt being invisible unless you have show file extensions enabled.

Ok, so after about 10 restarts and a few of them being Linux from habit... Here's what I found.

I will probably edit the above posts so the wrong answers are not there in case someone finds this forum post later.

My attempt to see the difference with my old eyes.. Pending restart to see if it worked....

Ok, give me a minute to reboot to windows....

Give me a minute to check what file you ran and what it should have done. - Edited to remove incorrect answer. I tested for the correct one! Scroll down a little more.

Hmm, sorry I should have read your post better. The "" is where they are suggesting you put the name of the font you are trying to add. Initial searching suggests that you will find So you have your choice of variations of Times new Roman. I deleted an improper example of the file here, scroll down farther to see what works.

I'm being slightly lazy because I don't want to reboot into windows and look at a half dozen updates. If this doesn't work for you let me know and I'll find the exact name. Edit - What they are suggesting is to make a text file that you rename (or save as) a ".reg" file, then run the newly created file and it will add the entries into the registry for you. You don't need windows registry open when you do that.

Redirecting ANSWERS.MICROSOFT.COM I think I did this back when I had LG monitors with blurry text. I don't remember if it changes default app behavior. The file they tell you to make modifies the windows registry, I recommend making a backup before making changes. This can be done by using the run command (windows R, I think...), and typing "regedit", no quotes. There is an option to save or import from there, do a manual save before following the instructions on the website. If it doesn't change default font for applications (I think it did), you can change websites using firefox / dark reader. If you're using Linux, it's different. Let me know!

reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM I'm actually on board with this. I think AI derivatives should have a signature that denotes they are AI generated. The problem is there's no real way to enforce it and AI has gotten even better at removing watermarks. Could hefty fines be the way? Probably not because it doesn't hold end users accountable for what they use AI to create. If the power of AI is kept in the hands of just a few people it could work, but that's a dangerous precedent. At the very least, Spain plans to cash in! Me, I'll keep using LM Studio to run Cognitive AI on my local system. It's so awesome to have an AI that's read the Linux manual that I can ask questions to when I get stumped. Grok's probably in trouble though. It seems like it's primary use is to create meme's / fake images on X.

Internet shutdowns at record high in Africa as access ‘weaponised’ | Internet | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM More governments seeking to keep millions of people offline amid conflicts, protests and political instability Africa continues to be one of the most beat down continents in the world. I suspect that's due to climate change and the fact that they will have great farm lands in the next 20 years. Africa is expected to be a food provider for many other countries. That doesn't work if Africa is feeding their own people with that food, but if their population is continually stepped on, they will have plenty of production for the rest of the world. The irony is that all 'first world' countries are in a population decline, so they could just let the banking world take over and it might accomplish the same thing.

The research articles get technical pretty quick, but the general concepts are there.

There is a "problem" with quantum computing. It fundamentally breaks encryption. If every bit functions as both a 1 and a 0, all they need is enough compute power to break any encryption. This is why the NSA is hoovering up all network (internet) data. That data won't stay encrypted forever and that is the real training ground for AI. This is also why crime is a bad idea. It's not about getting away with it now, it's getting away with it 20 years in the future, because that evidence will still exist and that encryption won't be relavent. Quantum computers cannot go mainstream any time soon because of this. In order to safeguard data transfers, data will need to be transfered via quantum entanglement. Tests have shown that data can be transfered faster than light, but they haven't come up with a good way to transfer data in bulk. They are still working on an operating system for quantum computing. What it needs to do and the practical applications of quantum computing, we aren't sure of. What are the implications of an AI running on a quantum computer? Can we control something we don't understand? Surely when it all boils down, they will find the answer to the universe is 42.
