The European Parliamentary Research Service has warned that VPNs are increasingly being used to bypass online age-verification systems.

CyberInsider

For people in the USA:

A bill that would require age verification nationwide, seemingly for all adults and children, for all operating systems, according to currently-unspecified rules determined by the FTC.

(Please note the "give feedback on this bill" link with guidance to contact your state's members of Congress.)

I think the pseudo left is starting to realize that generative AI actually does have uses and is a new backbone technology. It would have been better had they been present to argue for responsible use rather than collapsing into fantasy that AI wasn't a thing.

What are the aliens even going to do with this? Do they need steel for their intergalactic / interdimensional spaceships?

I think the aliens would have to significantly clean up the environment here.
