If they turn off the internet, that gives you more time to meet your neighbors and do "arts and crafts" and read (cook)books. He's getting so old, at some point the horse throws him off

I have a copy of the weights on my HD and to my knowledge, it hasn't spontaneously went out and acquired web hosting and stood up a web site.

That doesn't seem to be something any AI company says is currently possible.

If things change, and AI becomes able to act on its own initiative, then it will be easy to change this law

I think it's just a gap in definitions. The labs say models don't act on their own initiative. What counts as initiative? I guess an API call in a for loop would count.

Historically it seems like a lot of laws haven't been easy to change. Especially when they regulate zillion dollar industries.

You know you can just use a different picture app?

Can we trust them to not build the data center anyways? If you think companies always get their way, then a ban is useless, as they will just do it anyways.

If on the other hand, believe in the rule of law, then creating a good airtight law that sets the stipulations that would be needed before building a data center is what lawmakers should be doing

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of tuberculosis, not social media

Can't set local proxy because of parental controls, can't setup cloud proxy because of ... Being a kid.

But it's not a significant amount, compared to other uses in a city. You know this, right?

Be careful, you open yourselves up to be used by companies like iDenfy, AgeChecker.Net, IDscan.net, and others as they would HATE to see a local-first solution like what's been proposed in CA and IL to take hold.

They want to kill those bills so that their laws that they passed in TN and TX are expanded and they make more money.

I don't really like either solution, but I definitely don't want to help the companies that want to keep a copy of my ID and face scan.

> How much personal responsibility should we expect children to have?

This is what parents are for.

In that case, maybe we don’t need to card people anymore at the liquor store. If underage kids happen to buy, that’s the parents’ fault.

That's probably a good idea. That law never really did anything anyway, kids have never had problems getting their hands on alcohol

This is what the whole society is for, why singling out this aspect of behavior?

Education? Safety? Environment? Justice? Is this not also, then, what parents are for?

Do you think Meta wouldn't want to be legally mandated to ask for your id? The improvement to ad targeting alone would be enough to pay for any lost users. They would probably want nothing more than to be in the same business as idema and the other online identity/age verification providers are.

Critically think about this for a second before believing some ChatGPT generated "OSINT" report on reddit. Otherwise, you'll allow corpos to use your mob hatered against you

I think that report has multiple issues, but it’s currently popular and people are fond of blaming meta.

Even your point - meta is not after mandated IDs, but they see the way public opinion is moving and are using it to their tactical advantage. They are lobbying to push the regulatory burden on app stores and operating systems.
