"A minor child who downloads a software application from an app store agrees to contractual terms of service, "

The counterpoint is, of course, the impossibility of verifying anyone's age online without pissing off a lot of people who really shouldn't be on the internet to begin with.

No good answers, or even good questions.

Comment Re:$500 million (Score 1) 92

If workers are actually being displaced by AI, then $500 million would be a nice start towards a fund intended to help displaced workers taking lower-paying jobs and/or starting businesses of their own

Yeah, I'm sure that less than an hour's pay each at minimum wage (or, to be precise, about $3 each) will solve everyone's problems.

Steal a hundred billion dollars from evil rich people and it adds up to about $600 per worker in the US. Which is to say, less than a week's pay at minimum wage in most states.
