The lawlessness that is consequence of soft on crime politics will lead to corporations taking enforcement into their own hands.

While I fully agree that social media is toxic to children, this law is intended to force adults to show identification (and lose all anonymity) to simply use internet. This is done to make dissent and criticism of government harder.

No, his neighbors are snitching on Zuck for other reasons. Whatever he has done to piss them off (I read he was doing massive construction for years), they are using over-regulated California state to get back at him in any ways they can.

Having to ask permission to do normal things exemplifies everything that is wrong with California. If he were running a business of educating other children (i.e., charging money) then I can see having to get permits and registration. In this case, it is California encroaching on parent's rights. Zuck (and everyone else) ought to move and leave that nanny state hellhole.

I don't like Zuck, but this sounds like he is homeschooling a few kids. This doesn't make it a school.

Because AI visitors lower CPC and CPV and that what pays.

What he meant by "will win AI race" is as follows:

a. Automation of jobs resulting in decrease of living standards for the middle class.
b. Implementing systemic surveillance undermining citizen's rights to privacy, to dissent politically, and expose corporate wrongdoing.
c. Implementing 'social score' system that encompasses all aspects of individual activities that traditionally were off limits, finding further ways to penalize dissent.

Why would anyone want to win these stupdi prizes?

"[The Japanese people] are so crafty in their hearts that nobody can understand them. Whence it is said that they have three hearts: a false one in their mouths for all the world to see, another within their breasts only for their friends, and the third in the depths of their hearts, reserved for themselves alone and never manifested to anybody."

Unfortunately, this quote that describes medieval Japan will soon have to be applicable to everyone under AI yoke. Only, there won't be private conversations in the kitchen with your family, because microphones are everywhere in every device.

They care because Amazon enshitification resulted in getting revenue not from just selling, but also showing ads. If you shop with AI, you do not see Amazon ads.

If Trump calls you a pedophile on national TV, even if it is true at least half the country will knee-jerk in defending you. If AI calls you a pedophile when your name is searched, you are screwed unless you are really well-connected and wealthy to take on Google/OpenAI/etc. In this way, AI has a lot more power over you than even the president.

Why do you think a complex topic should be easy to understand? Ask AI to summarize it if you can't be bothered to watch a discussion.

It is racially diverse nazis all the way down.

I listen to presented information regardless of source and make up my mind. You listen to what NPR tells you. I will stick to my methods, thank you very much.

I happen to dislike Douglas Hofstadter, actually. He isn't nearly smug enough.
