My former boss used to say : No AI here, we rely on natural intelligence.
It is like any "hype" thing - it tends to be overused and people overreact about it. Let's wait and it will flatten down. I know, the waiting is painful.

Hmmm,
Edit:
Ok, I took a closer look:
One, two, three - sold item four - fifth letter is a waste of time! (17)
One, two, three = counter
sold item = product
four - fifth = iv
letter is a waste = e
waste of time = counterproductive

I think you are right but the fifth letter is e
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Close ...
A - First
B - Second
...
E - Fifth

I got the correct letter but from a different source

That was a fun clue. Sadly I was unable to solve it myself. I initially got "counter" but then got wrapped up grouping other things incorrectly. I might have solved it if I had thought of "product" for "sold item" - c'est la vie. Once I gave in and looked at the solution I saw where I slipped up. Very clever and eminently solvable. Well done, sir!

Voice cast of Encanto - We Don't Talk About Bruno[^]
A couple of weeks ago I watched Disney's newest movie, Encanto.
The next day its soundtrack would win an Emmy and that week I shared the intro song here in the SOTW.
Well, I am still listening to that soundtrack and I'm going to share another song with you.
In the song, the various members of a magical family tell the main character why Bruno, who can see the future, is bad news and they don't talk about him.
From Wikipedia:
Wikipedia: "We Don't Talk About Bruno" has been described as one of the best Disney songs and the studio's biggest crossover success.
I wanted to say something about the genre and style of the song, but Wikipedia does it better:
Wikipedia: Musically, "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is a midtempo tune blending Latin music styles such as salsa and guajira with pop, hip hop, dance and Broadway elements, propelled by cha-cha-chá beats, sung by an ensemble, and climaxing in a polyphonic outro.
I love the polyphonic outro!
Enjoy this well-deserved SOTW

I for once have to disagree with this week's choice - maybe it is due to me not having seen the movie, and therefor cannot relate the song to anything, but I do not like it. OTH, I really loved the ones from Coco.

It's not necessary to know the movie to enjoy the soundtrack in my opinion.
I mean, the complete instrumentation is unrelated to any story (well, except that it takes place in Colombia, but that's trivial).
Only the lyrics are related to the story and really all you need to know about that is that they don't talk about some guy named Bruno 
I'm not big on lyrics though, so maybe you want to take more out of it.
I've seen Coco, but don't know the soundtrack, now I'll have to check it out!

Do you want to try that again, using English sentences instead of random words thrown together?

I already had the sound of the week in the night. Cat serenade under someone's window. The performance ended abruptly, not with applause, but with a loud splash of water.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Recently my Windows 10 search bar started displaying stupid hippy-big-tech woke messages like this one:
"Celebrate Earth Day" with a stupid icon. It is distracting and unwanted. My built-in rebellious nature and resentment of authority and being a general A-Hole makes we want to do the opposite.
How do I return it to a nice empty, non-offensive, non-distracting white box like it is supposed to be ?
I assume it some registry key, but which one ?
This one makes me want to go out and buy a 2002 Hummer and spread weed killer and fertilizer in my yard and then throw my garbage in the river. I can't wait to see the next one. Maybe BLM, Obamacare, Groom Children day, Cut your junk off day, etc.
