But still, it's very weird. You'd think this admin want to be able to round up people and disappear them with FISA court rulings, being able to spy on them first is usually the log…

what are the chances of them caring so little, but implementing a dedicated signing server, HSM,etc..? even if they sign it, it will probably be done on the same web server.

i think Anthropic is playing too fast-and-loose with the whole "no publicity is bad publicity" schtick.

again, bad faith argument. as you said, the internet isn't being banned, so why would you stretch what i said to mean "ban letters"? sending letters to minors might require age ver…

we agree.

I think it's more of a workforce reduction technique in some areas. how much is the issue, and lots of "it depends" but even at a higher up-front cost, LLMs have higher value and l…

phone sex is already banned without credit card verification or if you sound like a minor for example. and you're being disingenuous as well, clearly this entire thread is not abou…

> Bare in mind we aren't banning the internet, just kids on social media. It's neither. it isn't social media only, there will be various sites that are age restricted, similar to …

it works if it is time-scoped and full age/id verification is done directly with the government. if you're malicious that way, you can likewise verify your id/face and just give a …

but why does it have to be that way. why not have zkp age verification processes anyways, inconvenience aside, what's the harm. If they refuse to let us use them, they need to expl…

> The only permitted ones require your to link your real-life identity. This is a huge boon to the intelligence services and law enforcement. Then let's talk about THAT!! why is th…

zero knowledge proofs exist, don't they? also it matters "private from whom, and what". You can make what sites you visit private from the government, and your identity a secret fr…

Have they never heard of "the boy who cried wolf"? First of all, age verification is not mass surveillance, it is possible to verify your age without disclosing who you are to the …

why isn't russia, china, india? Sports are artifacts of culture. Although the US does remarkably well in soccer despite soccer not being a mainstay of american culture. The questio…

LLMs mean less devs are needed, not no devs. even after serveral more decades, they'll need steering. I've seen agents stuck chasing one issue, when to me the issue was obvious, bu…

anecdotal evidence doesn't mean much here, but it's been night and day for me. yes, much much more isolated but my mental health is 100x better. Even my phsyical health has improve…

This is one reason it's hard to trust science, they start of with a bias and confirm it, but make it look like it was objective. You'd need decades of research to even come near a …

this is flawed in a way, they're presupposing social contact is always positive or healthy? It is biased because it isn't looking at the mental health state of individuals prior to…

"think of the children" has been effective because there is merit in it, you can't just dismiss things because someone says "think of the children"!! are you really saying that the…

so you're saying kids with bad parents deserve to suffer? Ok, parents should do better, whatever. By your logic, a strip club has no obligation to keep children out because that's …

you mean you don't want to? why not? are you just too used to status quo that's benefiting you right now? It's not like I'm excited about it either, I'm just not finding any reason…

> We're all talking about what should be done about this. About what, specifically? And, well, why now? There is a seemingly endless lists of victims to crimes happening online. No…

But in real life, if you sell cigarettes to a 5 year old, you'll probably go to prison. Isn't a reasonable approach to the internet, to have a protocol by which individuals can pro…

dumb question, with LLMs being so prolific now, why is this sort of a thing.. a thing? Why not us an agent to maintain code people use, but humans don't have time to keep up with? …

maybe? I get that you don't, all I'm trying to do (and failing) is have a discussion, apply critical thinking and be able to articulate a position. I'm neither fully opposed to it,…
