    When your whole job is "giving notes", being flattered, and imagining your workers as cogs, prompting a chatbot probably does feel like "work."

      And lobbying to implement age verification.
      • janderson215 19 hours ago |
        Assuming age verification should be implemented, do you think the application layer is the right place to do that, or would the OS layer make more sense?
        • CamperBob2 18 hours ago |
          The parental layer is the right place to do that.
          • kelseyfrog 16 hours ago |
            That's great. Any serious proposals?
            • CamperBob2 15 hours ago |
              I wouldn't tell you how to parent your children, and all I ask is the same consideration in return.

                I just see it as an unnecessary hill to die on. Its not possible to win on those conditions so why spend energy on a failed outcome? I wish those who shared the sentiment found an effective method to achieve their goals, but online message board activism doesn't pass the sniff test.

                To me it's a public health issue and shares the same, "you can do what you want, but I will not be forced into participating," that resulted in the invention of chin diapers. To an outsider both look like pathological demand avoidance[1].

                  It seems like the example you give points to undesirable consequences as a direct result of government intervention. Is your example meant to be a point against any sort of legislation regarding age verification?
              • mmooss 9 hours ago |
                It's a general principle but too simplistic to contribute to a solution.

                I believe I should prevent you from starving, willfully or negligently harming (in a serious way), or denying significant education or medical care to your childern; I believe you shouldn't be able to take your children into some adult places like strip clubs.

                The strip clubs also have an obligation to keep out your children and need a method to do so, in this case the online 'strip clubs'.

                The question is, given other priorities such as privacy, what is the best method? I think it's parental tools in OSes, including the ability to setup accounts for minors.

    Now AI can be just like Zuck and come up with 0 original ideas that have any value.

    Facebook copied MySpace and bought Instagram (with FB Camera losing to them).

    Their only original idea was Metaverse - an FoA (flop-on-arrival).

    They even dropped the ball on AI, something they should have had a massive advantage at with their ad profiles and social media empire.

          I'm not so sure, their 'original' wheel was just a refinement to the round boulders that already existed on the planet and the mechanical advantages naturally existing in that form.

        Are you equating intelligence with networth? :-)

        • 0xy 19 hours ago |
          IQ is highly correlated with both income and wealth so it seems like a fair comment. Of course not all billionaires have a high IQ, but far more billionaires do than your average person.

            survivorship bias.

            there is absolutely nothing stopping a poor child in sierra leone from becoming the next einstein, outside of access to things that should be considered mandatory for human life.

            • 0xy 15 hours ago |
              Blank slate theory has been thoroughly discredited so many times I'm not sure why I'm even responding, but this is complete nonsense. If you're born with 62 IQ like the average Sierra Leone citizen, no amount of education will get you to 120. It's literally not possible.

              According to research, a full education can add ~15 IQ points.

              So someone from Sierra Leone who's average and receives a full education can expect to have around 77 IQ, which means severe issues with reading comprehension, math beyond simple arithmetic and following multi-step instructions.

              • Natfan 12 hours ago |
                so geographical region of birth dictates intelligence? how intriguing.

                i would like to know if that child was fed well, provided with shelter and given a good education -- would it still be, in your words, "not possible" for them to break even 100IQ?

          • tptacek 16 hours ago |
            Not in the way you're implying. There's an IQ threshold that correlates somewhat with income, but correlated gains drop (kind of vanish) after it, and that threshold is pretty low; it might be 100.
            • 0xy 15 hours ago |
              Nothing you just said disproves anything I claimed. Billionaires tend to have significantly higher IQ than average. The same is true for high income people.
        • bko 15 hours ago |
          I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have to be above average intelligence to start a business and become a billionaire from it

    Given the history of ordinary employees getting fired for secretly using AI to do some/most of their job, can we at least expect that the shareholders will renegotiate Zuck's compensation significantly downwards? Given he won't actually be CEO-ing so much?
