The time to regulate tech was like 15 years ago, and we didn't. Why would any tech company expect to have to start following "rules" now?

On the one hand, an amusing anecdote about an interaction with someone that ended up becoming massively famous does come across as somewhat noteworthy, but on the other hand, the f…

Can't "just take away" ie, there has to be a law prescribing the removal of the right. Lawful rights vs inalienable human rights. Same thing exists in US. You have a right to certa…

No, the LLM can only "see" a lower res version of the uploaded photo. It has to crop to process finer details, and they are suggesting its silly this isn't a built in feature and i…

Another aspect here I think is the generalized fear and anxiety present in young people. Having spoken to some family members in the 15-18 age bracket, the message they seem to be …

Some substances at least make people more social or more engaged and empathetic. Any drug that makes someone stare at their lap and not respond to outside stimulus is probably bad …
