In theory it had memory protection. Processes were reasonably protected from accidentally stepping on each other's tires, but the OS was not. Any app that tried to be clever (which there were plenty of understandable reasons for) or was actively malicious could mess with absolutely everything.
There's definitely a difference in magnitude in how likely crap software is to set the world on fire and ruin your day between Win95 and Amiga.
One big problem is that Amiga "multi-tasking" while not co-operative like Mac or Win 3.x, can be switched off as a convenience for programmers. So all that needs to go wrong is a program switches off multi-tasking to do something and then gets stuck before restoring it. The program which crashed is dead but you can't fix that because it turn off multi-tasking.
In all the years I used an Amiga, I don't think I ever had the machine crash because they used Forbid(). I'm not saying it never happened to people - I'm sure there were badly misbehaving programs in use -, but using Forbid()/Permit() outside of very tight sections was very firmly frowned on, and Forbid was overall relatively uncommon apart from games which took over the system on purpose.
The funny example from a few months ago asked chatgpt 5.2 if one should walk to the car wash because it’s close by, and it answered yes. This shows that it is in fact sentence continuation and not real intelligence or consciousness (whatever that may be). Even the reasoning model answered the same.
It's not a cheap shot at all. OP is asking why the government is using tax payer money to finance air shows instead of healthcare, regardless of free markets and business regulations. In fact, there could be less air shows (and thus less aircraft losses) and lower taxes.
The brain uses a lot less energy than an LLM, so most probably it is something completely different. Maybe consciousness is a byproduct of the architecture of the brain, so there is no version of a humanoid with no consciousness.
