Great article. I agree with everything the author said.

I don't understand the argument that this limits free speech. Anything that people post on Tik Tok can also be posted on competing social media sites. How is free speech affected by this?

I'm pretty sure panel 2 and panel 4 should have the same text

🚨 Improper use of meme format 🚨

This is weird. I wonder if this type of crowdfunding will catch on.

I'm interested in Stormgate and I want it to succeed, but being able to invest in it like this kinda gives it scammy vibes.

I just don't see this happening at all. Scouring neighborhoods to find illegal immigrants like this sounds horribly inefficient and dangerous (not to mention awkward and shameful for the people who have to do it?) Building a giant wall across the border sounds more realistic than this.

“Providing young people with a safer, healthier experience online has always been core to our work,” Google said. “In collaboration with youth, mental health and parenting experts, we’ve built services and policies to give young people age-appropriate experiences, and parents robust controls.”

It's ridiculous to design an app specifically to get children addicted, then say it's the role of the parents to prevent children from getting addicted. The parents are literally the obstacle that Google is fighting against. The solution is to pass legislation that will force the apps to become less addictive.

No matter what Google does, people are going to come up with gotcha scenarios to complain about. People need to accept the fact that if you don't specify what race you want, then the output might not contain the race you want. This seems like such a silly thing to be mad about.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me personally, yes I feel like art is less interesting now. Over the past couple years or so I've found that I'm less impressed by art that I see online.

I'm not an artist, and I'm not someone who seeks out art to appreciate it. I'm just talking about art that I scroll past on the internet. I find it less interesting now. I assume that it's all AI generated, and if it's not, I figure it might as well be. It's just not interesting to me anymore. The image generated by a prompt is no more interesting or thought provoking than the prompt itself.

I've never seen so many uses of the word "lemon" in an article before

The article says that Apple is still planning on making iMessage compatible with RCS, but isn't Apple's incentive gone if there's no longer any EU pressure? How likely is it that Apple will cancel their RCS plans?

This is a good step forward, assuming that the algorithm is good at determining what counts as political content. However I'm not sure how effective this will be when users still have the ability to opt back in to political recommendations.

ooh yes daddy. Don't stop the steal of my heart

That's basically me when my car has an issue. I don't care how it works, I just want someone to fix it.

I don't understand why everyone is saying that loneliness is an epidemic and yet nobody is trying to develop solutions for it.

If it were up to me, I would give funding to social psychologists to have them develop social programs to reduce loneliness. I'm talking about programs that actually get strangers together physically, on a regular basis, to help them form real friendships and communities. (Like Meetup.com, but more structured and more effective.) There are lots of different ways this could be approached, and I wish researchers would start running some experiments to see what works.

I think it's a good thing for parents to be held accountable for school shooters' actions, because that punishment can act as a deterrent for the shooters. A would-be shooter might change their mind if they know their parents will go to prison if they carry out their plans.

I think tech reviewers are really naive for thinking that Apple Vision Pro is the future of computing just because it was made by Apple. Nobody wants to use their computer or watch movies in VR, except for in niche situations. My prediction is that users will quickly realize that they don't actually have any use for the Apple Vision Pro, and the product line will be discontinued.

I'm super stoked for Rebirth so I'm definitely not playing this. I want to go in as blind as possible on the 29th.

I've been thinking lately about how someone could use AI to make a "social network" site that works just like Facebook, except the user is the only real person and everyone else is AI. The AI users would respond very favorably to everything you post, and all of your posts would go viral. It would be kind of like an AI girlfriend, except instead of providing companionship, it would make you feel like you're famous and popular. (I doubt Facebook would want to be associated with a product like that, but I bet someone will make something like that eventually.)

Very interesting, thanks!
