I really don't know where you're coming from. You seem to be imagining that the law requires some kind of cryptographically validated age attestation. The law requires nothing of t…

>Also children can "come upon" devices Yes, this mechanism isn't perfect, but is a substantial improvement over the status quo. >and now that's stuck with the verified age set. Thi…

>but why can't the websites just ask me for my self declared age? Because children just click through the age gate when it suits them. With this legislation, a parent that purchase…

Why are you people in such a hurry to have facebook et al collecting government IDs?

Parents already have the ability to do this, at least when it comes to porn. The fact is that most parents aren't doing it. Hence the push for legislation that increase the uptake …

There's something to be said for realizing which way the winds are blowing and getting ahead of it. The fight against any and all age gating on the internet is already lost. The qu…

The breathless fearmongering over an age field on account set up is just completely over-the-top. This is probably the least bad out of all possible ways to implement age checking.…

What does "hold these companies responsible" look like to you? I see a lot of empty rhetoric without things being spelled out. If you just want these companies to not exist, just s…

Why exactly are some of you guys advocating for platforms to have increased responsibility for verifying the age of their users? Why exactly do you want platforms to collect govern…

Yeah, we really should just storm the facility where Musk is hoarding all the worlds bread and meat. Wealth in terms of capital doesn't represent material goods, it represents the …

While that's true, it's unrelated to hosting code. A reliable code hosting site should be agnostic to content. Once they start making editorial decisions about what projects to hos…

I'm also banned from the site for some reason despite never having been there before. Though I suspect my IP is on someone's naughty list for some reason seeing as I get far more c…

A news aggregator is a community above all. Upvoting content that you may not personally be interested in but will attract the right people is a net benefit for the community[1]. […

Thanks, seems comprehensive

Do you have a source for this? The closest thing I've heard of was vague reports of children being shipped to Russia. I'm not denying it has ever happened, but the question is what…

It's interesting how casually we replace concern for the population with concern for the political entity. No, the Ukrainian identity will not cease to exist with the replacement o…

The overly generous image/video generation was a product of their excess compute. No point in letting it sit idle while you build up your infrastructure. But you were getting far m…

As long as the proles have a monopoly on force (through their representative government), the AI companies will pay taxes. The question is how long does this state of affairs last.…

SAT solvers are programs designed such that their execution corresponds to the reasoning process of satisfying some given constraints. But they do not contain the reasoning process…

If you can't report some stimuli in principle, even to yourself, what would it mean for that stimuli to also be conscious?

Welcome back from purgatory! >I’m saying there’s a difference between choosing future immigrants and changing the status of people already legally present I'm sympathetic to this v…

I thought I was elaborating on how to minimize exposure. If this is just what you meant, then sure!

If the credentials are stored for some period of time, then an inspection will reveal those stored credentials within the preservation window. Unannounced inspections will then sho…

>Your context changes nothing: it's just one long "the ends justify the means" or "that's the way it is" and fails to address any of the ethics of the statements being made. Is it …
