    5M? On a population of 340M? 3.6M children are born yearly. Do they all graduate at a university? The web says 864,457.

    50k/year is not enough for a country the size of the US. Belgium produces about that number of graduates yearly.

    You'll have to pay for it anyway. Games will get more expensive, there'll be more micro-transactions, etc. The investors as well as JP Morgan want their money back.

    The drug dealers, i.c. Meta and consorts, do and will oppose regulation strongly. Didn't they get the blooming president of the USA himself to intervene on their behalf? That will …

    First, it is notoriously difficult to regulate such things. Second, why bother? Media generation has a small number of barely beneficial use cases, and a whole bunch of large to po…

    Why do people keep making these models? Don't they care about the effects this has? It's either that, or they do it on purpose. Just let people push clips about foreigners eating d…

    A smart phone is a human right, according to you? Of course you can ban them. The addicts will have to wean off, but after that, there's no disadvantage.
