The updates just keep getting worse

[!!!]

Just updated to macOS 15.4.1, after being forced to restart due to the network share timeout bug (I still need to make a post about this).

So far:

• I can no longer delete some AI AssetsV2 files. I can delete others, but there's still about 2GB I can't delete, after it decided to download them before I could re-block them via Little Snitch.
• The two GB of lost space doesn't really matter: I have also lost over 100GB of space on my startup drive because...I don't know. No, there's no TM snapshots, nor did I see anything with a quick run of `ncdu`. Guess this will be a "fun" weekend of figuring out why that happened.
• locationd is using up all of my CPU for no apparent reason.

Does someone want to remind me why paying $2000 gets you an experience worse than Windoze?

You can delete all from Terminal in Recovery.

Re bogdan's reply 2 above:
I'd also suggest you read how I did it:

I was able to delete them after a restart, you don't need Recovery if you have SIP disabled. Will also be trying out a configuration profile to disable all the AI stuff, so hopefully nothing will happen next update.

Apple Intellgence can be disabled with a configuration profile? Please post the profile as text.
