One of the aspects of #ageverification and #OnlineSafetyAct that few talk about:

Imagine your kid turns 18 and on that very same day, on a still rather vulnerable age, they are bombarded with ads about performing sex work, joining the army, buying guns, alcohol, and whatever addictive tobacco alternative is trending this year.

All thanks to pushing for age and digital IDs being such an available piece of information in the digital landscape.

"After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of large language models on Wikipedia, on March 20 volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online encyclopedia.

The new policy, which was accepted in an overwhelming 40 to 2 vote among editors, allows editors to use LLMs to suggest basic copyedits to their own writing, which can be incorporated into the article or rewritten after human review if the LLM doesn’t generate entirely new content on its own."

Wikipedia Bans AI-Generated Content

“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

TIL that "carbon footprint" is a campaign started by British Petroleum (BP) in order to distract attention away from coporate responsibility and culpability towards individual responsibility and culpability.

If you are concerned about your carbon footprint or shame others about their's, it shows how well this campaign has worked and is still working.
But you know what is really on us? To stop this madness right now and demand more corporate regulations!
