So you'd rather wait to fix the bigger social problems first before fixing smaller ones? I don't know, I think it's good to attack the smaller problems first. It makes you feel good about small victories, you gain experience with similar problems, and it prevents analysis paralysis. It also builds momentum, everyone likes a winner.

You also have to remember that minors aren't full people, they are legal dependents and censorship is the wrong word to use in this case. It is absolutely the right and obligation of guardians and governments to make decisions for them about what they can and cannot do on the Internet, among other things. The kids will grow up soon enough, and be free to choose by then.

There is nothing open about any of the "open" AI shops. Every "open" model from them is the equivalent of a free mp4, that runs on a simple player, to whet your appetite and make you want to rent their more powerful models.

A real open project supplies the preferred components for completely rebuilding the software. That means, you should get from such a project all the source documents (not preparsed token datasets) for training and all the training scripts they use themselves and all the specs. If you don't, it's only a pretend open AI project.

Inflation is not being treated as noise, if it were then we wouldn't index it away, we would just ignore it. The fact we are indexing it away is due to treating it as a real predictable trend.

However, the purpose of indexing it away is to normalize, due to the recognition that it's not the absolute prices that matter, only their relative relationships

Inflation is a flaw in the measuring instrument we're using (fiat currency), kind of like if you have a metallic ruler and you increase the ambient temperature, then the expansion will make the inch markings on the ruler be longer than an actual inch.

Your Streisand Effect definition is too narrow, imho. The issue isn't disclosure against the company's wishes, it's the increased awareness by the public arising from consequences of the company's initial policy choice of halting operations and service to the Russian public.
