Especially when we are talking about VPNs. The reason so many companies are sprouting out of the ground to offer VPNs is because the margin they have is huge.

Don’t forget that we are actually skydiving in tandem with someone who either doesn’t believe in gravity, is trying to hit the ground on purpose, or both.

Ok, but the genie is already out of the bottle. Arguing like this is kinda pointless.

I don’t think it will be possible to get them off social media (or the internet in general), so you need to find ways to make it work.

E.g. minors can not be advertised to, no algorithmic content, no doom-scrolling, and heightened data protection. I think teenager should get access to as much as possible to reduce the “risk” of them trying to go around it. “Their” version of social media might even be the superior one in the end.

If the world wasn’t on fire at the moment, people could calmly discuss possible solutions and propose laws in every country to actually protect their children from e.g. the stuff mentioned in the linked article. Sadly, this isn’t going to happen …

What a shit show. (Not an American, btw)

I wonder, how many “both sides” Americans who didn’t vote (or voted third party) expected Democrats to win anyway. This way they could feel smug for not “voting for genocide” while still getting the clearly better option.

Now they have to pretend they didn’t fuck up and act as if having a “protect the status quo” democrat wouldn’t have been any better.

I’m no expert on this topic, but you should keep in mind that Netanyahu’s government is extremely right wing. These types of wannabe dictators only care about themselves.

Also, it benefits him if Jewish people can’t feel safe outside Israel. “Us vs. them” is a powerful tool to keep his people in check.

I agree, but in this case, I think it doesn’t really matter if it is true. Either way, it is hilarious. If it is false, it shows how shitty AI hallucination is and the bad state of AI.

Should the authors who publish this mention how likely this is all just a hallucination? Sure, but I think Musk is such a big spreader of misinformation, he shouldn’t get any protection from it.

Btw. Many people are saying that Elon Musk has (had?) a small PP and a botched PP surgery.

So, stop upvoting those luigi memes. How sad

I have this great business idea. I only need to be allowed to enslave people against their will to save on those pesky wages.

Not letting Disney kill your wife “for free”. They are going to kill her either way, the only question is if they have to pay some money later.
