Not enabling it may prevent you from accessing the user-facing features but may not actually prevent it from recording your conversation and training on it.
I'm actually not sure how to interpret this image in this context... are you implying that the argument over AI is part of the culture war distraction? or are you agreeing with me that AI is a tool of "they"?
It’s being used to replace human workers by the exploitative wealthy, and it’s actively destroying the environment we live in. If you are not against “AI” (that is, generative machine learning models - there’s no intelligence involved) then you are colluding with the robber barons.
Oh yes, let's nationalize the communications platforms and give the government direct control over how people express themselves. Surely the government is 100% trustworthy and will not use that power to suppress criticism or political opponents, or track people who are 'unpatriotic', or redefine 'hate speech' in a way that benefits the current regime. No such thing has ever happened in the history of ever. What could possibly go wrong.
Uh huh, and how many graphic artists lost their jobs because of this model (and others like it) being sold to companies as a way to produce marketing material without paying an artist?
And how many unnecessary pounds of carbon were pumped into the atmosphere because of this meme?
Unless you are training your models at home on your own private server, the current generation of ML models are dependent on the capitalist corporate model. They are trained on large datasets collected by corporate surveillance using server farms owned and operated by corporations, by developers paid by those corporations.
The capitalism and the "AI" are inextricably linked. If you use any of their apps you are patronizing them.
Some people just made AI-hate their whole personality.

I think you're right, and I think the problem is that many people equate dominance with aggression, especially physical aggression, and even more especially abusive aggression. It can be really difficult to break someone of this misconception, and popular media (e.g. "Fifty Shades of Grey") really hasn't helped.
It is perfectly possible to be controlling with soft power (more of a straitjacket than a bludgeon) but this is more subtle and more difficult to portray in a visual format, regardless of the gender(s) of the characters involved. You're more likely to find what you're looking for in written format than visual, because written description handles subtlety better than video.
Subtlety requires time almost by default, and most forms of visual adult media are about quick gratification.
In comparison with other city-builders Wandering Village isn't very deep. There isn't much in the way of complex systems. The art is nice though and it's fairly relaxing to play.
Timberborn is a lot more involved and there is a lot more depth to population management and economics, and it's pretty fun when you get to the level of reshaping the ground to suit your purposes. My favorite challenge is to arrange to keep the whole map green through a drought.
Wandering Village is more like a story or adventure game with city-builder mechanics, so it kind of needs a proper narrative arc.
Hmm, I've always found the exposed bits of machinery and the genuine work areas to be a lot more interesting than the safety-padded candy-coated consumer-facing side of things.
I played this through shortly after the release and it is really enjoyable, but once you've built and stabilized your town and used all the space there's nothing else to do. You can keep walking through the world but it's just an endless series of repeat biomes and there's no more growth potential so none of the side quests are of any interest.
Adding some endgame content might really help this.
but it still is different from virtual memory. that’s a broader thing.
Of course, that's why I said...
the function is called Virtual Memory in Windows
because that's how it's labeled in the Windows Settings menu.
then open the control panel and fix the swap setup. and then enjoy your more ram. the solution to this problem does not seem to be not upgrading to have more ram.
Adding more RAM is not a solution to OP's described problem in any way. In the context of moving data from active memory to the pagefile, Windows doesn't care how much RAM you have, only how long the data in active memory has been idle (which is not configurable). Adding more RAM to the system will do nothing to change that behavior.
However, adding more RAM might make retrieving data from the pagefile slower. Yes you could adjust the pagefile settings to address this, as you said, but it still doesn't do anything to address OP's problem.
