Crisis? Yes. But will they stop showering the children with gadgets? No.

Nice one. You made me stop and think. I was thinking about condensing my thoughts into a post, but I'll make one point on the issue of premiums. In the article, it says the cost of insuring a family of four is $25,000 a year. That soun

That's pure speculation on your part. My stance is common sense: if it doesn't work, don't do it.

There are lots of people who get freaked out and go to the hospital for every little thing. We used to have a term for that: "hypochondriac." Now it's become socially acceptable, so you don't hear the term as much. Every

It's all true. But the author's solution is just to keep doing the software job, but with lowered expectations. What's the real solution?

That's true. Thankfully, superintelligences are also poor at negotiating and projecting their own income, so you can still make a handsome profit off of them.

That assumes that the revolutionary superintelligence is willing to give away its economic value by the trillions. (Revolutionary superintelligences are known to be supergenerous too)

It's not that. It's about this weird urge that smart people sometimes feel in jobs that they feel are beneath their talents, to radically improve efficiency even when it really does not make sense to do so in context of who they a

Why do you think it's more prevalent in non-digitally-native companies? I've often wondered if it's because those companies are uncomfortable with software development in the first place, so it makes them feel better to have

What definition of "hosting" do you think the courts would apply instead of the technical one?

That's great, but can your LLM remove everything harmful? If not, you're still liable for that one piece of content that it missed under this interpretation.

Under Judge Matey's interpretation of Section 230, I don't even think option 1 would remain on the table. He includes every act except mere "hosting" as part of publisher liability.

The assertion made by the author is that the way these companies grew is only sustainable in the current legal environment. So the advantage they have right now by being bigger is nullified.

It all comes down to the assertion made by the author: > There is no way to run a targeted ad social media company with 40% margins if you have to make sure children aren’t harmed by your product.

Fantastic write-up. The author appears to be making more than a few assumptions about how this will play out, but I share his enthusiasm for the end of the "lawless no-man’s-land" (as he put it) era of the internet. It comes at a
