Conversations on age verification tend to split into 2 streams. Conversations where the root submission talks about failures at social media firms and the evidence of harms, or evi…

This is coming up again and again because The current status quo does. Not. Work. There is direct evidence from trials, in which Meta researchers told executives that features like…

From the article - he reached out to the CEO directly, who acknowledged and said it was being worked on by the CTO. He did this repeatedly over 6 months.

I’m not sure if this is true. I really want the hiring story to be true, but the responses I am getting from people on the ground vs industry generated reports isn’t meeting up. Th…

Absolutely! The opposite end of the preference scale from someone willing to spend 18k a month.

I remember the piracy era, and it used to be a joke whether anyone could actually stop it. Eventually MS dealt with piracy by going after firms, and finally by offering something c…

Examples like this come up as sub comments very often, but they don’t address the point. Most people will not go beyond $20, forget a 18k.

Oh, thats an interesting response. Perhaps something like this? https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2025/04/22/teens-social... > Still, teens are growing more wary of social media…

A parallel between attitudes about new technologies, does not work when the parallel between the two technologies itself is broken. I too was on slashdot, back in the early days of…

Sure you can argue the nuances, however this is missing the forest for the trees. Children don’t grow up in a vacuum. They see how their peers operate, what they talk about, what t…

Many companies got regulated to hell and back, as a result. There are no meth companies, the cigarette industry is regulated as far as we can take it, opiates and medication is reg…

I’ve been using V/G as shorthand for this: verification capacity / generation capacity. LLMs have made G extremely cheap, but verification capacity and judgement has not scaled at …

If this is what I think it’s referring to, then Yes. In the same way that a refutation of a previously stated position is part of an argument. Repeating that refutation verbatim, w…

They definitely served that function. The sucky rule about history seems to be - “is this better than what was there before.” Equity markets can definitely be made more competitive…

Eh. Stock markets serve(d) a function as vehicles to invest in risky ventures. In other words, a way to channel investment. In the average case scenario, removing the stock market …

> I'm sure there are people here that will vehemently disagree with me, but we see the biggest tech companies pushing for age verification and we see founders and rich folk gleeful…

I believe the added point was that new tools identify a group of bugs, and then there aren’t more bugs to find. At which point it becomes another tool you use and don’t think about…

I don’t think the author is arguing for compromise though? I think the author would love to see more enlightened policy, but he doesn’t believe it’s going to happen. Hence the clos…

It likely would! It is also probably the better solution all in all. However society doesn’t have the stomach for that (yet). Also, as the article correctly identified, society is …

Why do you use yourself as an example of parenting? The issue isn’t the parents who can’t imagine bad parenting.

As a counter point, the larger point that the author was making resonated with what I have seen. As in - women in tech who value privacy and rule of law, and are also advocates for…

While the root may have been religious, Lions and Rotary were things in other parts of the world, shorn of their religious connection. I know that my grandfather was a Lions club m…
