HTML/CSS/DOM sucks rotting eggs for doing real GUI's. It was stretched way beyond it's original purpose of displaying static documents, and mutated into rocket spaghetti surgery and still has common GUI idioms missing or done wrong.

I'm for an HTTPS-friendly GUI markup standard, by the way. Build it from the ground up for GUI's.

lengthy prompts to draft

Just use AI to help generate prompts!

This is an interesting observation, but not entirely false. There are edits on Wikipedia that basically amount to "wiki link every word in the article". IMHO this could well be in violation of potential laws against algorithms. I'm not sure if Wikipedia should get a pass because it is "free" or whatever.

The trick has been around since industrial spies noticed the first liar got away with it.

I wonder if stock-holders can successfully sue for lying about the cause of a sales slump?

Make the AI bubble pop already. I'll stop wanking off for a year if you pop it, I swear on my rosie palm.

This is exactly correct. Do you really want an 11 year old who's confused about their body to be getting answers from strangers in a Discord server or via Tiktok shorts? Because that's what's happening right now. There are some legitimate support groups that operate through these channels, but it's completely unregulated and for every legitimate channel or server there's a dozen distributing made-up or even harmful medical advice. In some cases it's even predators because it's the perfect place to find minors you can start to pry away from their family and friend groups. The social media companies knew this was going on and I can only imagine their legal departments were either screaming about this problem, or being paid to shut up about it.

The CEOs of these companies are trying to justify inflated stock prices that were high based on the expectation of future growth. You don't convince investors that you're still growing by laying people off, so you have to give them some kind of explanation, and AI is convenient. By the time it becomes obvious that AI isn't actually producing the productivity boost that they're claiming, then they'll be on to the next thing. The reality is that the cheap capital that funded the dot com companies through to about 2018 is gone permanently (due to demographic and globalization changes). The valuations will eventually crash. It's just a game of everyone playing chicken to see who sells first.

I think they're arguing that they are the third thing, a message parlor.

Unions are a real-life strategy because they work. Divide-and-conquer is also a real-life strategy, because it works too.

Thus, I think the truth of your statement all depends on whether you look at this conflict between government and the the people, from the point of view of the attacker, vs the point of view of the defender.

Children do not have the maturity that is required for unfiltered access to the adult world

But they used to. In the 1980s, nobody dared to say in public, that 17-year-old me should not be allowed to visit public (or even university) (or even medical) libraries. (Or if someone did, they were still very obscure and unpopular, little more than a glimmer in the left's eye.)

If I may, could I narrow down which of these two things you think is best? First, there's exactly what you said above..

Kids have no right to use end-to-end encryption without parental consent

..but I've altered it:

Kids have a right to use end-to-end encryption unless denied by a parent

Did I make it better, or did I make it worse?

Bell Labs invented the transistor because the low hanging fruit of vacuum tubes had dried up. Some low hanging fruit is always dried up. That never stopped progress.

While true, the pace of the Next Big Thing is not necessarily constant.

into place to protect their oligopoly. Some blame it on "socialism" when it's really crony capitalism.

Not yet but I’ll go see it soon What makes me really sad though is that being a “non franchise movie” is now enough of a thing for it to be pointed out specifically. All the big productions these days are in some “universe”, part of a franchise, a sequel or prequel or reboot. God forbid a studio dares to allot a blockbuster budget to an original work.

Wrong, âoeslopâ means excessive amout of AI content. It can be quite accurate and correct and still be called slop.
