- Comment on If you're a parent, how do you prevent your kid from watching AI slop? 2 weeks ago:
Just to like the radio, television, internet, etc...AI slip is here to stay, it might die down, but the cats out of the bag. I would take the same steps you would regular parental controls for tv/phone/internet if you're concerned.
Secondly and more importantly you should be teaching your kids critical thinking skills and not to believe everything they see or hear...just like that old quote
"Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear."
The reason I say that is regardless of what you think of AI, it's good enough now to where you can grab a few minutes sound bite of someone from Facebook or YouTube and be able to imitate there voice.
This generation is going to have to be much more viligant not just about spam emails, but audio and video calls imitaing a manger or a significant other...it's going to be very interesting
- Comment on Facial age checks are now required to chat with anyone on Roblox 3 weeks ago:
No, having children upload facial images to verify there age??? In the age of AI and deep fakes, or I don't know selling that data to other entries with far more nefarious purposes.
This dude doesn't care about kids, he sent a cease and desist to someone who actually was doing something and caught six predators on the platform.
He also said Roblox could be a dating platform which is a red flag since they probably know there platform attracts child predators.
If that wasn't enough of reason he donated $2.5M to the White House Ballroom.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 3 months ago:
I think right now companies are competing until they're only 1 or 2 that clearly own the majority of the market.
Afterwards they will devolve back into the same thing search engines are now. A cesspool of sponsored ads and links to useless SEO blogs.
They'll just become gate keepers of information again and the only ones that will be heard are the ones who pay a fee or game the system.
Maybe not though, I'm usually pretty cynical when it comes to what the incentives of businesses are.
