I don't think this is culture war, I think it's legitimately about protecting kids.
The comparison to Facebook and Twitter is not great because those platforms aren't for kids (but I'm all for lawsuits against them as well).
And as for 32 lawsuits being cash grabs or not enough: ok if you say so, I'm not going to worry about your kids if you're not.
If they cared about kids, they'd restrict guns.
Imagine if every state in the union sued a corporation.
I am not familiar with US law but should there not exist a federal bureau of investigation (or FBI for short) for such cases?
Well, there was - but it currently suffers from some issues: the Trump-Epstein shutdown, incompetent partisan leadership, and being reallocated to be an instrument of revenge on people Trump don't like.
The day will come that an AI will learn something that we did not deliberately teach it. When an AI is able to improve its own code, it won't be bound by the limitations of its human creator. It's only a question of when.

Can a non-biological entity feel desire? Can it want to grow and become something more than what it is? I think that's a philosophical question and not a technological one.

Don't agree at all and I think that's a morally dangerous approach. We're looking for a scientific definition of "desire" and "want". That's almost certainly a part of "conscious" and "self aware". Philosophy can help, but in the end, to know whether you are right or not you need the experimental results.
Experiments can be crafted in such a way as to exclude certain human beings from consciousness.
One day, it's extremely likely that a machine will say to us "I am alive. I am awake. I want..." and whether or not it's true is going to be increasingly hard to determine.

Only if we define consciousness to be a state of awareness only attainable by human beings.
An LLM can't suddenly decide to do something else which isn't programmed into it.
Can we?
It's only a matter of time until an AI can learn to do something it wasn't programmed by us to do.

Is it another Netflix without the "originals"? I've seen videos in my regular feed that had a price tag, so I assume those are part of it.
No, it's more like a traditional cable TV company - but on the Internet.
Magnus Carlson did the same bullying thing to Hans Niemann. Hans had thoughts about ending it too. Guys - when chess is your whole life and then someone falsely accuses you of cheating, your whole world comes crashing down. What is worse is the online peanut gallery that is just hating on life and rage baiting. But these pro streamers and professional players - it hurts them deeply. That's why Magnus Carlson (former world chess champion in the classical format) had to pay a settlement out of court, as he did Hans so bad. I really feel for Danya (Daniel Naroditsky), his family, and his chess community. This is a very said day for chess.
Hans Niemann has been proven a massive cheater. He claims it is only online and not over the board, but what stops most of the elite from doing it is morals and sportmanship - something Niemann thus has proven that he does not have.
The "other reason" presumably being he finally gave in to the pressure that the family put on him to become a chess master and killed himself, so the happy family is trying to be forgotten?
Or did he just fall on the wet bathroom floor that Mom didn't wipe dry?
Naroditsky - alongside a couple of other grandmasters - has been the target of disgraced former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik for a long time now. Here's what the #1 player Magnus Carlsen has to say about it, and here's the world #2 Hikaru Nakamura on the same subject.
Another one of the GMs Kramnik has been pestering was David Navara, which caused a large ruckus earlier this year.
If they have space for a USB C then they have space for a SIM. That said I like e-SIMs for their convenience and don't really care if they disappear. But the iPhone Air itself is clearly a gimped device which will be difficult to repair and so fragile that people will put it in a case negating any reason for it to be thin in the first place. I'm sure some fools will drop cash for this thing, common sense be damned.
I'm not sure I understand why having space for A means that you also have space for B? You need the USB C port for charging - and in some cases connection. A SIM tray holder with surrounding electronics takes additional space, and it's not strictly needed as eSIM is a viable alternative. The phone is not for me - I'm keeping my current phone until 29, and "thinner" is not a tradeoff I'd make in this case anyway - but I do see them need for removing anything they possibly can to achieve it.
It's called "retreating upmarket." ARM made a chip that was better in one key way: power efficiency. But they were behind in other ways so Intel shrugged them off and figured they still had the market. Then ARM got a little better. And a little better. And each time, Intel shrugged because they still had the top of the market. In fact, letting go of the lower end actually improved their profit per unit. It keeps going that way. ARM gets a little better, Intel retreats while making more profit per unit. Until one day, there's no market left.
This cycle was described in a classic book, The Innovators Dilemma. I remember getting this book recommended by Matthew Szulik, back when he was the boss at Red Hat.
They only said "Jews will not replace us", the national guard is just fine.
States rights are highly dependent on context, as is empathy.
By "states rights are highly dependent on context", you mean that it's OK for GOP states to do it if the Democrats are in power - but that it's OK to send military forces to states that disagree with Trump or don't praise him enough? That seems to be the golden Republican standard these days...
Sounds like "It is not my fault, it is theirs! They ruined it!"
Poor Musk hurt by business as usual.
Tough world Elon. Sue God next time.
This is the same guy who sued advertisers for not advertising on Twitter. I can't understand why large, global brands wouldn't want to be associated with that nazi-infested hellhole by spending money there...
When the power goes out, I can start a gas generator and use my local library. Not so much if it is in the cloud.
I'm having a hard time seeing this as a problem with Kindle (as opposed to e.g. ownership of bought content).
Kindles have a long battery lifetime, measured in weeks. If it has run out, connect it to a powerbank and you've solved the problem for days. Content that you are reading or have read on the device is available, and if you have to get a new book - just connect it to your phone hotspot and download it. They're tiny.
In Europe the company would have had to delete this info after the verification check.
Not necessarily - if they ask for and get consent they can store it. There's no sensitive data in what is listed.
However, what the app does - "let women anonymously share and search for information, advice, and photos of men they say they have dates with or are looking to date" - would be strictly illegal as they haven't gotten consent from the men in the database, The data would also contain information on the data subject's sexual life, which is a protected category of data. They'd also run afoul of the data subject's right to rectification of the information in the database.
If you always postpone pleasure you will never have it. Quit work and play for once!
