“MetaGoneMad” social media devolved into chaos. Selfies got replaced with close-up nostril shots. The “like” button exploded into a “passive-aggressive comment” button. Algorithm recommended enemies, not friends. Hashtags turned into full-blown novels.

- Comment on Welcome to the 'nepo' housing market: 40% of homebuyers under 30 get family money to cover their down payment 9 months ago:
In a world where everything runs pn money, if parents didn’t teach their kids how to make money before they are abandoned financially at 18, then those parents didn’t do a good job and in fact failed them. They brought them into this world, so they should have helped them learn how to make and handle money in this world that’s all about money. They wouldn’t have had to struggle with the “system” they knew about before having them.

Yes, that is the status quo now in Canada, you need to make $150,000 a year, minimum, to afford a mortgage to buy a low-quality apartment or home.

Actually it’s brain power, to not allow the humans they created, to be subjected, to insane rent costs for the rest of their lives.

No thanks, we need to get rid of the (Royal Families) we have on this planet dirt, not add to it. Having said that, if you create a human being that goes on to live to 70-90 years, you are solely responsible for them until your death.

- Comment on Liability for AI damages? 9 months ago:
I would be a lot more worried about an AI that does that on purpose.
What happens when the first ransomware is deployed by AI, on behalf of a user who just wanted tips on how to make more side income?

AI-generated images are becoming increasingly realistic, AI can’t tell them apart anymore.

I personally think, with Bill Gate push for Digital ID, for every single person on the internet will eventually must have a social credit score, I have no doubt this is coming.
As for this vid you shared, I want to remind people of the following browser extensions that will block majority of them, and I personally use. You can get them for firefox or chrome.

Too many companies have stupid people running their IT department, stupid to the bone, thinking backups (on site and off site) are not important. This hosting company is prime example.
