PS - how did you get the popup tool for the AI and AD markups? That is the first I've seen them on here.

Cool! Thanks! And now I'll never use it, and forget about it - but it is cool!

Proof that we're not training AI properly. Humans don't need this type of training, and they're generally considered intelligent to some degree.

Note that in the US, the degrees are smaller (5/9) than those in Europe.

Wrong. Humans do need this type of training, but are designed to collect training data from their surroundings. I present as evidence the way children pick up language, from babbling to mispronounced words, to incorrect grammar, to (hopefully) correct grammar using correctly-pronounced words.

The difference is humans do this automatically; machines don't. We need to figure out how to get machines to do this automatically.

So no NEW data will be created after 2026? Sounds like a Mayan calendar, they ran out of space on the rock.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

When I studied IT, one essential 'philosophical' distinction was that of information vs. data. Data is (or rather: may be) some representation of information. Take a plain text file vs. a zipped version of it: The data is reduced by significant factor, yet the information is the same, both in volume and in content.
I am 110% sure3 that there will be created a lot more data after 2026. I am not sure that there will be that much more information, though. (A little, yes, but not much compared to the increase of data.)
Then: Some of this new data, even though it represents little new information, it may come in a form avilable to both AI and other uses. I can think of lots of information that I manage which is unavailable for training either AI or something else, and I am doing my best to keep it from remaining that way. E.g. I am trying to reduce my electronic tracks as much as possible - leaving my smartphone at home when I go out, paying by cash, staying away from common asocial media and stuff. The information about me and my life exists, somewhere (e.g. in my memory). It may be forced out of secrecy: E.g. communicating using non-trackable channels, spending money in a non-trackable way, may be outlawed or made practically impossible by 2026.
We already have a lot of it: I can't more around in my car in a non-trackable way. I can't make any spending exceeding about 3000 Euros in a non-trackable way. My doctor can't give me a non-trackable prescription for the chemicals my body needs. Lot of such things. More are added all the time. Maybe, in 2026, I can't buy myself a sixpack of beer without the information being available to the health authorities and their AI system.

Until its not. Ever since computers have been able to talk to each other in a "reliable" fashion, there's been a constant back-and-forth between centralized and decentralized software. Lets off load from the mainframe to minis! Distributed data sucks! Lets bring all the data back to the mainframe! PC's are the wave of the future, move all software out to the PCs! I can't get my monthly report because the internet is down? Repatriate everything back to the server farm! Why can't I run this stuff on my phone? yada yada yada ...
This is just the next round in this never-ending cycle. Eventually the CEO of MegaCorp is going to want to access something that's not available because either the cloud is not available, or a rental payment went astray. Or the CFO is going to do some math and realize a purchase with upgrade fees works out better for the bottom line, and software ownership will be considered best practice. Or rivals using a purchase model will start to eat MS lunch. Or ...

Google's default search deal with Apple is worth so much to the search giant that Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple's browser That's a better deal than me getting to keep 36% of the change I find in the cushions at work

Does that mean that IE (or whatever it is called nowadays) gets Google as a search engine?
I mean, I use bing solely to get to google.com? Who hasn't binged Google?

And as management goes, they have no "klucking" clue what it means but they also want to share in the chat in the meetings on something related to AI, stating things like - "I told my team, that is how we will be gaining information from now on..., just do it!"
