All AI features will also be opt-in. I think there are some grey areas in what 'opt-in' means to different people (e.g. is a new toolbar button opt-in?), but the kill switch will absolutely remove all that stuff, and never show it in future. That's unambiguous.

Remember:
•1 million seconds is about 11 days
•1 billion seconds is about 32 years

Nobody earns or needs a billion dollars. We should return to our tax rate of 1940-1980, where the super wealthy paid 94% marginal tax.
