Any kind of social media ban would mean more people consuming "traditional" media, which is much worse.

I would rather have my kid watch nothing but AI slop then get even 30 seconds of FAUX news. Lost my father to actual brain rot, FUCK YOU NEWSCORP!


Any kind of government encroachment into the time of it's citizens is theft.

Many of their citizens chose American social media because they prefer American values. This offended the nationalists so they are simply going to ban American sites and try to make their own inferior ones.

Traditional media (Murdoch) and traditional gambling lobbied the hardest for these laws (of course these are anything but traditional). This is a billion dollar gimme to newscorp, but they will probably still fail to pick up the younger audience because they can't compete.

In America we have freedom of religion and freedom of association, we used to have the freedom to put whatever we please in our own bodies and minds.


Absolute nonsense. American social media is used because it's designed to addict children and adults. Same reason people gamble, and buy advertised products.

TFA said it's all legal and explicit federal policy. You don't have to like it, but some people are going to have to make minor sacrifices if the majority want AI services. Look on the bright side, when these people all have personal robot doctors caring for them well into their 100s they will be grateful they didn't listen to the NIMBYs

> some people are going to have to make minor sacrifices if the majority want AI services

_Does_ the majority want AI services? I feel like the question “if you could stop AI, would you?” is far too controversial for this to be the case.


Would you be willing to volunteer and make that sacrifice for the majority?

I honestly cannot tell if this is satire. Literally a Lord Farquaad level take. Some of you may get asthma and lung cancer, but that’s a sacrifice we’re willing to make to ensure we can deliver MechaHitler to the masses.

I like how the TTS just breaks. You can really FEEL the AI.

This is true, though the people that actually push the field forward do know enough about every level of abstraction to get the job done. Making something (very important) horrible just to rush to market can be a pretty big progress blocker.

Jensen is someone I trust to understand the business side and some of those lower technical layers, so I'm not too concerned.


So you're washing dishes now?

In a just world you would do 16 hours of manual rock breaking and tilling in a gulag for a decade then you can come back and tell is how essential email is to your life, sorry "digital life" whatever the FUCK that is.

Literal navalgazing

If the bottom 50% disappeared they would be replaced with migrants in 1 or 2 weeks. If the top 10% disappeared the nation and all it's lifeline systems would cease to exist and the bottom 50% would slowly rot.

We could probably weather the storm of losing the top 0.1%, but, taking a good for the nation perspective, I'd rather that money get distributed to the top 1% than the bottom 50%.


I think finding and transporting 170 million migrants in 2 weeks to replace the bottom 50% would be quite the engineering challenge if at all possible.

Of course living with a predator will increase your paranoia levels which will over a population bump people up to certain disorders. /s
