Yes, and I think Cloudflare was likely on that point. At least, I would have been.

They are right to take the approach they are doing. First stop is education and challenging the orders. Educate the politicians and the courts on both the technology and the reasons behind the way the technology operates. Fight it in the courts because that's the right thing to do, even if bad actors want the harm and also technically illiterate folks don't understand the harm, the moral grounds need the fight to be fought.

ONLY after that fails, absolute simple, blind, malicious compliance. If France refuses to listen to the technologists and wants the ban, that's fine, roughly 25% of the global websites will be blackholed in France, and sites that rely on those will also shut down. Any and all requests get met by a redirect to the French court order. When the politicians and the courts demand the impossible and want to nuke themselves to the online dark ages despite people telling them they're making a mistake, so be it.

Who decides what's true and what's false? Who gets to hold who "accountable", and what does that look like? How does that look any different than punishing someone for speech you don't like?

Some of y'all need more than a surface understanding of the 1st amendment, with a focus on how it came about in the first place.

And here we have the groundwork being laid for censorship, all in the name of the "greater good".

I hope everyone remembers; whatever tools you give "Your Side" will be used against you.

Paying the publishers, not the authors. Whoever actually wrote it, researched it, invented it, or created it still gets squat.

Did anyone ask for this? Or will this be yet another AI product shoved down the throats of people that don't want it?

Well that's a different, and entirely solvable, problem.

Hoist the colors, ye scallywag!

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a drop in replacement for smart TVs, but you can get most of the way there regardless.

I don't trust any smartTV providers. LG may be the target of this story, but I'm sure all of them are guilty of this to various degrees.

"Use my product or else." - Oligarch

I mean, good for them for taking this step. Should extend it through highschool, but the root cause of the problems they're facing isn't AI, it's old fashion real-human stupidity making critical education decisions.

From TFA and quoted in the story, it wasn't the convention floor.

If caught early enough, you can make lifestyle changes which dramatically impact the course of the disease.

Of course, there's nothing stopping you from making these changes now.

Diet, exercise, get off your screens and get some sunshine is always good medical advice.

Yes, and the point you quoted still stands, they are a starting point.

The always relevant XKCD comic explains it well enough: those laws in that order are essential as the starting point. Different order or missing entirely is guaranteed bad. But as pointed out through all kinds of science fiction writing, there are many ways we can understand they are insufficient.

Right now I'd agree they're exactly backwards, or as the XKCD comic described, on track to become a "killbot hellscape". We need even more rules and regulations than that, but as a set of fairly obvious first steps penned 80 years ago, they're pretty blatantly an essential first draft of baseline rules that are missing today.

As technology improves, the customer experience gets worse.

It's been that way for at least 15 years, probably longer. It's the weirdest damn thing to watch; we have all this power and sophistication, but development houses can't seem to get out of their own way and make a product that doesn't A) Suck balls, and B) gets worse with each iteration.

MS is the most famous example of this, but they're hardly alone in this practice.

If the justification for a new law is "it's for the children", then the law is junk and the politicians behind it are trying to con you with something.

Every single time.
