Does the NYS law actually use the phrase: "... features like algorithmic feeds, push notifications, infinite scroll, like counts, and autoplay cause addiction ..." ? Presuming of-course the word "addiction" denotes repeated-returns behavior. If so then Molly Tuttles cover of Rolling Stones SHE'S A RAINBOW needs to have warning labels on every TV/monitor screen and every album covering that tune. I have listened to Ms Tuttles heavenly version 50 times, and I listen to it every other day. I am addicted and Ms. Tuttles performance is addictive and the song/guitar-work the addiction. But ... but ... but that's ridiculous for reasons ! So is the NY law.

1) Mention of big cities and calling them claustrophobic? Most people prefer them ..............

You grant the collective a' priori existence/agency on par with the individual. The "blood-family" excepted, no such intrinsic agency exists for the collective. Now, the collective tends to have a bigger gun-barrel than any individual ; that makes a difference. Multi-family collectives nominally form around warlords, like galaxies around black holes. Then - nominally - the warlord/shaman usurps power and performs those actions aggrandizing his/her power. Road had been built -- family to family .. the warlord doubles their width and length. Pottery and knives and bows had been crafted; the warlord now sets a vassal over their mass production. READ// --Against The Grain-- for insight. The choices were mostly there, actively, before warlords/collectives ( think motorcycles wheeling over desert -- think outriggers sailing to new islands. ) snatched them away from founders. Does the collective SUFFER as individuals thrive? Damn straight ! Suffer bitches.

"Apple's own US tech workforce went from 6% Black before the academy opened to about 3% this year." And ... so what? See front and center and unabashed racism, as is all affirmative action. MsMash should blush.

"...capitalism and free markets have always been about protectionalism (!?!?!?!?!) of corparate and national interests first and foremost." Another collectivist half-truth ( 1/2 = lie ). Sure, neolithic villagers tried protecting their barley-fields from ravaging antelope. What social system doesn't protect its national interest. I understand that in the "PARADISE" nation Adam ate 1/2 the apple so Eve would not get a tummy-ache. See this myth , then march forward. Nothing changes . Especially in post-Mao China. One Emperor gone, the throne is refilled . Good for them, but ol' USA should retain its steel-mills ... just like the Emperor ...

Does the government choose what transportation a person uses, or does the individual chose ? The CCP has chosen EV/trains as the mode of civilian transportation. That decision matches their political agenda. In the USA individuals choose ( except those in claustrophobic big-cities ) what/where/when/how they transport. Killing an electrical grid-point means nothing to the driver of a 1968 Tr-6 or Chevy Impala ... but given EV would allow government to control entrance/exit to parts of an entire region. Collectivists/CCP lust after that control ; (re)publicans love individual agency. What's in your culture ?

It's called "cornering the market" ... and a true Scottsmans finds it most un-natural. With dibs on 40% of anything, lots of unmet needs arise. I believe WW2 economists found ( 1/13 ~ 8% ) max allowable .

Naturally for making a reasonable , workable suggestion you get ZERO=0 karma from the collectivist scum that infests /. The Trotsky-sluts KNOW able coders need to be smart ... in the puzzle-solving / combinatorial sense, but progressives need LOTS of dumb , needy people to support power grabs posing as humanitarian help.

Ouch. You hit the nail on the head. But, you do realize that AI-advocates want to make LLMs the STANDARD of correctness. So any human-derived solution to a problem that deviates from the AI-solution is -- by definition -- just wrong. Financially HUGE AI-companies might convince dystopian governments that they (company) are "too big to fail" . Thus the gub'mnt gun-barrel will defend LLM "truthfulness" while suppressing non-machine analysis. Analogous to USA bailouts of banks, cars and industrial agriculture.

"1) Choose fascism." Choose Franco instead of Stalin: choose Mussolini instead of Mao: choose Pinochet instead of Pol Pot. No, you cannot accuse "cherry-picking", because collectivist klans/cultures ALWAYS end in horrific tyranny. Find your own examples, beside Jonestown and the Spanish Inquisition. 2) Produce useful items , marry your sweetheart & raise a family. Spend years rebuilding a 1959 Plymouth Fury with Hurst 4-speed ! Live a life of Enlightenment culture and Western civilization. Prosper.

"... department with a lot of H-1Bs ..." Why does your department hire H1-Bs. Is it only because they are cheaper than citizens. Or do you have a deeper hate against ... straight white male native Christians ? Does the huge hiring of Indian C -suites directly imply that racism ?
