Not the gotcha you think it is. And also, big difference between bans and regulation, let's not conflate them.

We install breathalyzers in cars and revoke licenses when people refuse to act responsibly. It's a common requirement of probation and parole to remain sober. We do what you (/I) describe often. In fact, it's kinda the basis of operation for law at large: we limit the behavior of individuals to reduce harm to people. Be it saying "stabbing people is bad, now go to time out" or "don't drink raw milk, you'll get sick". So yeah, I'm OK with what you described. If people cannot mange their substances, we can and do force them to stop with punitive measures.

See the trick is this: does "mentally fit" apply, even in the case of otherwise mentally healthy individuals? Propaganda can affect anyone and the less tech savvy more so. We have no issues with limiting the physical behavior of the people we care about when they cannot handle it anymore (e.g. we'll drive grandpa around when he can technically do it, but shouldn't). While some do kick a fuss about it (for understandable reasons) ultimately, society at large is pretty OK with the whole deal.

Now we have them exposed to content that is arguably harmful to their health and the health of the people around them (e.g. voting). And this isn't opinion stuff or debates. These are outright lies catered to them. There were no dogs being eaten in Springfield, and yet I could hear the old dudes at my gym discussing it while they walked the mezzanine. At what point does their right to play with their phone cede to their mental health? For anyone really? We cede rights to do things when they harm ourselves and others often. Why is this different?

We can influence the behavior of our loved ones, we can't meaningfully influence sociopathic corporations. While not feasible, it still feels like the best of a bunch of shitty options.

Yup. Doing a non thesis masters and holy fork this is not my domain.

Those pokemon are metal as fuck.

He did snub Vance, so it's at least implied.

They are really soft. Don't grab their tails.

They shouldn't as a matter of not being shitbags, but not as a matter of law. If they want to reap the consequences of being a public nazi, by all means. Not everyone has a meat shield like Musk.

Maybe, maybe not. If it's a project or a paper, sure, this genie isn't going back in the bottle so might as well acclimate. And also judge harshly for error since that's kinda the big reason you don't trust the things outright.

If it's a closed book exam or some other "prove you know this" like showing your math work, then it's an effective method of preventing cheating. More or less, bit of an arms race with that.

Even if it did, not currently an obstacle.

Money

None of them. They don't really work. AI image generators are trained against detectors (long story short). Any given detector only really kinda works on one model maybe.

Oh yeah. I married my first boyfriend, though we met when I was 24 (out of the closet at 22, took a while to try dating). That stuff can work, but I'm just not gonna bet on it

Or they have a functional polycule. That is an option. I'm not betting on it by age alone, but it's an option

Not everyone has a passport and you use SSN to get one. Passports are relatively rare for a lot of people in the US.

Yes, sort of, but in a stupid way. The number is treated as a unique identifier of a person, but you don't carry it around since it's so insecure.

Sure. It's on Coursera

I enjoyed all the other stuff in the module and he did fine. Extra points for being online learning and being able to speed up the lecture to keep my ADHD happy. Just that one was pretty bluh.
