- Comment on Mississippi's age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test 2 days ago:
Yea that’s my point. Unless these companies are hosted in MS, have offices, or sell ads there, there’s nothing legally they can do. But rule of law doesn’t seem to doing so hot these days, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the Federal gov stepped in pressure companies into complying.

- Comment on Mississippi's age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test 3 days ago:
Or what about fireworks. They’re not legal in all states, but you can travel to another state and buy them with an ID from a state where they are illegal. Airguns are considered real guns in NJ and require a permit, but you can drive to PA and buy them, they don’t need to make sure that they’re legal in your state.

- Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water! 4 weeks ago:
You could consider them an extractive industry like mineral mining. In this case the electricity and water are turned into profit. It creates some local jobs like construction, but the system administrators are likely hired from elsewhere. The R&D is likely being done elsewhere as well. Most of the money these businesses spend goes straight to Nvidia and the profit goes straight to a small group of executives and investors.
