How about we not legally mandate this bullshit at all? Parental controls and child-friendly accounts are a thing that already exist. I don't want a bunch of pigs spying on my child to determine if their internet activity is 'acceptable'. Fuck that.

Good post.

Cope harder lmfao

That's a lotta protein. RIP that man's kidneys.

• "Hmm, this seems like a good idea".
• Supported by a bunch of AI business groups.
• "...this seems like less of a good idea."

EDIT: So after reading the bill, I can see the following problem:

It limits any level of government from restricting the private use of AI tech unless it meets a relatively high bar of legality and specificity. Remember that private use refers to both personal and business use. This means that e.g. a township could NOT decide to ban datacenters due to environmental concerns, water use, etc. They would need to prove a specific datacenter was 'creating common law nuisances' AND that they had exhausted other legal options before they could create any legal restrictions on that specific datacenter (let alone a blanket restriction). The law technically allows for other 'compelling government interests', but fails to list them... meaning it could be challenged in court and would be completely open to a judge's decision. Basically this creates a legal environment where datacenters have a right to operate and any attempt to regulate them would be fraught with the risk of expensive court cases.

Pro-business legislation dressed up as personal rights. Never change, Montana.

You are actually doing both. But given your use of 'SJW', I'm just going to assume you're a terrible person and block you. If you are not, perhaps work a little harder to separate yourself from them?

It is super easy to use a different word and not be a bigot. Just saying.

Sooo....

-Trans athletes form their own leagues. -Other athletes start competing because they go where the competition is and/or ideological reasons. -Olympics slowly become irrelevant.

Good job, Olympics.

I will remind everyone that as of 2023, about 3% of 18-24 yr olds identified as transgender. That's a lot of people, and that percentage is only going to go up.

Real libertarians would just be anarcho-communists since you really need some sort of community to cover the gaps in your abilities.

There's a reason ancient farming communities almost universally shared food communally. One bad harvest and you're dead.

No ableism please.

I was a pescatarian for all of like two months. I was in the, 'Ok, it's still bad for the environment, but at least fish are dumber so it's more ethical' phase.

It's useful as a transitory phase into vegetarianism.

Really? So not the ongoing economic implosion, the rise of facism, and the destruction of our planet's entire ecosystem?

Huh. Wierd.
