Holy shit, it really is $17 for a 12 oz bag. That’s >double what I pay for mine.

Its seems fine, other than the whole “coaching” thing. Like, nobody knows how to do this today, so someone will have to “coach” them through it, even if it’s Google themselves.

But I would wait and see exactly how it’s implemented before calling off the resistance.

Do you often find yourself being super rude and antagonistic for no reason?

That’s basically it. Your personal user experience will be limited to “kid friendly” areas of the Internet.

I’m disagreeing with this. I’m saying there will be no “kid-friendly” areas of the internet, outside of areas that are explicitly for children.

I diagree. Look at Privacy Policies and ToS. They are extremely invasive. Basically they say more or less “we will do whatever we want”. Why? Because no one reads them or cares, and they want to CYA in any and all situations. Now picture you want to navigate to a website, but the website creator is afraid that, one way or another, some adult content may find it’s way their website, so what do they do? Age-gate it. And now they’ve shirked any responsibility for such content. Every god damn website, the entire internet, will be age-gated. Not just Facebook and Reddit. Children and privacy-concerned adults will not be able to access the internet. And no one will care. That’s where we’re headed.

Ohhh, you make a compelling argument.

The point stands

No it will not at all be a “normal recession”. The AI industry makes up ~98% of GDP at this point.

Democrats say Fetterman governed by Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Definitely when the AI bubble pops there will be a financial collapse.
