Just asked my Windows computer to shut down.
It’s apparently got some stuff it wants to do.
No option to postpone. No notification it was going to do any updates when I shutdown. No indication of how long it’s going to take. It’s just happening.

More troubling to me is Mankiewicz’s insistence that the Sphere is “completing work Fleming and [producer Mervyn LeRoy] would have if it had been possible,” as well as the line of thinking that led him to that defense: “The concerns over AI are real, Mankiewicz wrote in response to an upset tweet, “But it is here. We must accept that.” He’s only half right. And, in the immortal words of the late Caledon Hockley: Not the better half.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:betnela6ebeevsfcozaxrhsj/bafkreihzovknie5qyynsb7lwxykfzztdm5cszmmlhmncx4edswpwmjkdna@jpeg)

You do not have to answer them all. Just find a few places that seem appropriate to tell them where to shove it.
