Anthropic is the lightning rod. Everyone in the space was talking about the automation of work from about day 2. People couldn’t stop themselves from talking about the way it was going to end work, and tech firms were firing people left rig

Eh, if you are really interested in the phenomenon of the current media ecosystem, I would point you to the work by Faris, Roberts, and Benkler. I do agree that wealth concentration is an issue, and that needs to be addressed. I push back o

That is a bold statement to make, and I wonder how many more people would be willing to make the same statement whenever these conversations come up on HN.

As the parent poster pointed out, doing nothing and pretending this doesn’t happen doesn’t fly anymore. I guess, welcome to the middle age of tech? The part where you have to pick up the pieces and clean up the mess that you see around you.

> Giving children access to social media should have the same parental neglect charges as giving them heroin. This is probably the most interesting angle of discussion I’ve seen in the past few days on this topic.

Sadly your take doesn’t matter since the other voting bloc is parents and people concerned about their kids. I wish this resulted in techies spending more time to look at the substance of the harms playing out, however I see denial of the

God, that sentence didn’t pass the sniff test, so I checked: https://pa.media/blogs/fact-check/fact-check-international-d... Don’t think that the claim stands up to scrutiny, since its comparing unlike things.

I think you are drawing a line in the sand that is close to you, but very far away from where Krugman stands, for it to be a fair distance to cross.

Funnily enough, this made immediate sense to me, and I think it derives from being a situation where you need high reliability from a process, eg: I need a bot which has a 99.99% guarantee to not go out of bounds or say something incorrect.

The last paragraph of my longer comment was definitely not what I expected to displace our energies towards. Just a potential wrinkle in the thesis. The larger point you are asking to be established is how you as a class of members in share

So I don’t have kids, and I have worked in trust and safety. As stated, society is finding a sub optimal solution for a person in a narrow read of my situation. I (and you) are impacted by the second order effects of the decision to do some

But you would have gotten to live in Germany for those ten years. SF and Meta make sense if you are going to try to be the cutting edge of conversations and tech. If you just want to live your life?

This is orbiting the issue of personal responsibility and social burdens. I get the impression that you recognize that there are certain costs that are distributed on members of a society, because it is the least problematic way to address

Good God. After reading this thread - You are forced to pay to attest your age, because as a society we have decided not to, or are unable to, end social media firms and porn sites. At the same time, we have decided that the harms that occu

Sadly we got to this place because there are other harms that are occurring and those are forcing this conversation.

I believe kids will always find circumvention pathways. There is a signaling function these laws serve: things are the products we consider acceptable in society. We have these rules for cigarettes, booze, and vapes. That said, privacy bein

I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise: Looping seems to (currently) be a side effect of token subsidies. If token costs are nil, then you can afford to run verification and generation through the same models. If token costs are high, t

What the heck? High demand and a long lead time product - you can’t spin up fabs overnight to adapt to demand. This creates a period where the people with the largest amount of capital can out compete other buyers in the market. This is the

In the end the state needs money, which it lacks. Maybe devolution will unlock revenue or growth?

Because it’s been building for a while, and (in my opinion) because it’s not a major traffic generating topic on builder focused sites like HN. The most proximate domino was the Australian social media ban. Australia was already a country k
