Misleading title (not yours, the article, itself).

Omitting the word "minors" from the title makes a world of difference.

Many of us can argue all day about where the line should be between freedom and safety for mature adults, while agreeing that minors (and other vulnerable people) deserve extra protection.

Edit: Also to echo the earlier comment *where dafuq are these parents?" Haha.

About fucking time.

Citizen's United (and similar corruption) took away our ability to regulate tech billionaires, but we still out number them.

If they want to stop being scared, they can curb their parasitic behaviors and return the billions they have extracted.

Edit: Getting off of the list of the world's billionaires is a path filled with fancy meals, accolades, ribbon cutting ceremonies, and thank-you letters from happier children.

Billionaires have a moral obligation to a cushy job (become non-billionares), and they aren't doing it, today.

Anytime I want to listen to some ASMR, now, of course.

We are kind of on our way.

Half the time when I look up how to repair my dishwasher, the best video guide turns out to also be an intentional ASMR video to maximize attention.

(Okay, not really half, but that it happens at all is hilarious.)

Microsoft has yet to explain how or why the lapse occurred.

Highly skilled technical staff are expensive, and it turns out that some people still use Windows when Microsoft doesn't hire the talent necessary to keep Windows working.

Edit: Also, bribes from three letter government agencies are probably pretty nice.

Understanding of asshole bosses, more like.

There it is, folks. That's how they plan to rob us to pay for their cocaine when the AI bubble collapses.

I loved that show.

"Your white guy does all that stuff for you?"

"Yeah. He's great."

"Can we trade white guys?"

Side splitting gags in the middle of a pretty solid message about how technology can systemicly abuse people.

"Apparently if we continued with our hiring plan, we would end up employing the sum total of humanity, and I guess doing that is illegal in some of the countries Viridian operates in, so they had to give in and actually fix the problem."

How is this different from what anybody who hires or employs people do?

Fun question.

1. Most employees will someday no longer be day-one idiot employees. (conttasted with AI)
2. Many managers take a class or something to know how to get results from their employees. (in contrast with many people given unlimited token allowances)
3. Most employees are capable of a relationship and even loyalty, if any is merited. (in contrast with corporate AI API vendors who only want to extract wealth)

Nice!

Washington is mentioned, but not with enough context to determine that Washington uses the cameras.

Which is weird, and other comments mention the whole article may be AI slop, rehashed from somewhere else. :(

Let's be sure to name and shame, for anyone who missed it: Georgia and Florida.

Company is - you guessed it - ~~Flock.~~ (Mention of Flock in the article has been removed in a correction.)
