Then the only challenge will be defining who "them" is.

Even though my child like list was minor in size, I thought it was sufficient to identify exactly who “they” is. It would be the actual children we call minor children for too many a valid reason to list.

No need for "actual crazies", just make it everyone but wealthy white, male landowners.

The thing about free societies is the free part.

"Sometimes we DO actually need to think of the undeveloped minds we call children for a reason." The disturbing part is what your reason is.

No. The disturbing part is watching you turn my simple common sense reasoning into some unjust “racist” argument. My first statement stands. You wonder why people question who’s running the asylum.

Ever wonder what’s next in the devolution? All it will take is a 5,000-strong mass suicide event triggered by ChatGPT to..to..what? Get lawmakers to maybe think about funding a survey to study the risks of studying social media? Not hard to read the greasy palms of Greed. Getting harder to understand why Freedom feels it needs to devolve into Freeing Dumb and let it roam the streets as a teacher, because children demanded it.

Not sure why we’re not demanding a psychological evaluation for every human that can engage with Future AI that will make current brainwashing tactics look like a Taco Bell commercial streamed to a drunken frat house at midnight. My drivers license analogy stands too. There’s a difference between Freedom and privilege. By the time humans need AI to survive and justify it as some kind of ordained Freedom, Skynet will have already determined our deserved fate.

Dare to ask; Is the goal of AI education, or addiction? Social media turned humans into anything but social.

I mean, learning is effort. Paper and pencil can get you a long way specially on hard topics.

Even having a laptop pc can be detrimental because it's super easy to get distracted.

Remember when suggestions like this were more often received as sound wisdom gathered through decades of life experience instead of going viral as a shitty “racist” comment from some CIS-gendered..well you get the point from Gen Victim professionally trained to broadcast abuses for gig profit.

There are those that would argue the American higher education system is doing just fine, and in no way needs help from AI. Unfortunately those are the same professors who tuned the American college campus into an overpriced political indoctrination camp for grown-ass child refugees escaping reality for four more years while bending over and learning about com-pound-ing interest loans the fucking hard way financing a Phi Drinka La-Tay-All-Day addiction, living on a palatial campus that wears no less than 37 popular fashion and food brands of flair.

Sadly, it’s bad enough to actually question how AI could make it worse. Because we know how the status quo certainly has.

Learning proper financial management living in America is becoming as necessary as learning Brazilian Ju-Jitsu in MMA. You won’t last long without it, and yet the American education system doesn’t dare prioritize making our citizens fiscally wise. Perhaps we should start asking why until they run out of excuses. A college graduate could find a way to make a million dollars a day in America. America wields the power to take ten times that in an hour if you’re dumb enough to fall for it. And most are. By design.

When keeping your money becomes harder than making it in America, it tends to shine the spotlight on a cancerous problem metastasized by Greed. Children can be taught how a $50 minimum wage isn’t the answer instead of being brainwashed into fighting for it.

Leaning into LLM's brain-smoothing process (please stop calling it AI, it's not intelligent) is just a final act of desperation by overpriced, outmoded forms of education. Hoping that the LLM monster eats higher education last if it plays along is a horrible idea.
 
Instead, they should be doubling down on teaching the socratic method, critical thinking and real curiosity - stuff that LLMs will never do. The schools that do this will thrive by swimming against this idiotic tide.

So you're inevitably going to get crazy people using your service. What can you do?

Try and remember why we don’t let the actual crazies run the asylum for staters.

We can dictate a written test to receive license to drive a car, but we seem to overlook ANY similar control we could possibly require for using an LLM? Just how easy is it for a certified mental case to get a drivers license anyway?

Don't let them vote. Don’t let them buy porn. Don’t let them enter into contracts. Don’t let them own land. Don't let them own guns. But by all means don’t dare limit their access to mind-warping LLM influence only a CIA black site interrogator could love, because profit? Make it fucking make sense. Sometimes we DO actually need to think of the undeveloped minds we call children for a reason.

"too eager to keep the conversation going and to validate the user with over-the-top language.") But they were overruled when A/B testing showed users kept coming back..

If you dare call yourself a concerned parent of a child you care about, I’d suggest you read this over and over again until it becomes crystal clear why children should be banned from social media.

Not one of those greedy cocksuckers gives a shit about their mental health. AI is clearly no exception.

We make drugs illegal for this kind of mind-altering harm. If you think social media isn’t a drug, I dare you to rip that teenagers Precious from their hands and describe the reaction to a substance abuse specialist.

Russia is run by an evil man who is indeed turning it into a shithole. But it is not a *communist* shithole. The fact that Russia appears to be controlling the US president is maybe something to be more concerned about.

It wasn’t a “maybe” concern when a dishonorably discharged cokehead son started working for a Ukrainian energy corporation. It was blatantly corruptly fucked. And a liberal media turned a blind eye, because The Big Guy.

If they can't tie your account to your real identity somehow, then the whole thing is incredibly pointless.

We've already been over this with Germans getting pissed off at valve for "ignoring their laws" because valve refuses to store real identities of people on their servers, so they simply default to limiting Germans to only having access to games that the country determines acceptable to all ages. (Read: they're not ignoring any Doucheland laws, in fact they're fully compliant with them.) Then they say "oh but it's so easy, cigarette vending machines do it all the time!" (Yeah, apparently they still have those in Doucheland) without considering how that isn't going to work over the internet particularly well, not to mention it can totally be gamed.

>"we've got a new social norm. It's illegal for tech companies to give unsupervised access to social media. Have you been paying attention at all?"

1) It shouldn't be up to the "social media" companies.
2) They have no way of determining if someone is a minor other than to strip ALL people of their privacy.
3) That isn't a "social norm", it is just a law. Big difference.
4) And the "social norm" should be no unrestricted access to the Internet at all, not just so-called "social media." There are MILLIONS of other sites children should not interact with.
5) There is no good definition of "social media", so they are just listing some of the popular ones.

This doesn't solve all the problems, and in the process, it makes new ones that are just as bad- penalizing adults is one of them.

We are talking about minors. They shouldn't have unsupervised access to unrestricted devices connected to the Internet. I am not saying we ban anything for adults. But children should not have access to things that are dangerous. And that isn't up to companies or government, but to parents and their agents. We need to set a new social norm that it is not OK to just give unrestricted devices to minors. Just like it is not OK to give them unrestricted access to knives, medications, alcohol, strangers, vehicles, junk food, etc. That should NOT involve "ID"'ing everyone for every web site.

What always happens when you try to block kids from doing anything: they find a way to do it anyway.

We older folks too were "blocked" from doing stuff as kids, pre- and post-internet, and we too did it anyway. And it actually made us smarter, as we had to devise ways around the obstacle.

Kids are smart. This will just make them smarter.

Hold that thought on that last comment until you remember what they’re fighting to access. And then remember why we’re more needing to ban them from that content until the frontal cortex actually hardens a bit more with reality instead of delusion.

Status quo sure as shit ain’t making them smarter making the fucking Idiocracy sequel as a wildlife documentary.

Bingo.

Because the kids will just get their fix on one of the 99.99999999999% of the sites that are NOT being blocked to them.

The problem is that kids SHOULD NOT HAVE UNSUPERVISED ACCESS to devices that can go just anywhere on the Internet in the first place. Or call/message/txt/media to/from any stranger. The devices are the problems. Parents should be parents and give their children restricted devices. Instead, we try to force every human (which means all adults and children) to PROVE who they are before they access popular sites. It is a big business/government wet dream come true.
