What... am I supposed to code by hand!?

No, outages is when you start experimenting with local models and catch up what's new since last outage. If you're a power user, you end up getting to play with local models every week!

That depression tells me you do.

Bummer there is no Terra. I found Terra to be the sweet spit in price / performance.

With the arrival of Astra I guess Sol has taken the spot of Terra where it's the sweet spot between Astra and Luna.

They are a blight on every new little town, stealing land that could go to literally anything else that would benefit the community more.

In nearly 100% of cases, they are owned by some rich schmuck somewhere that's just trying to "cash flow".

I hate them and I hate the culture that produces so many people that own them.

Throw your stuff away people! Patronize businesses that make the world more interesting!

All is possible with good blackbox testing.

Should the father have been more involved to prevent this kind of thing? Sure.

Should tech companies make this kind of thing this easy? No.

Everyone in here defending our corporate overlords has had the Overton window moved so far on them that they've lost perspective on how companies should be expected to be part of the social contract.

We should be building a world that makes it easy for people to do the right thing. Not penalizing them for accidentally doing the wrong thing because nothing matters anymore but the shareholders.

Youtube is a fact of life for modern parenting, and it has absolutely atrocious parental controls. As we all know, these companies are filled with people who are perfectly capable of building systems that function to make the world better and easier for everyday people like the father in this story.

And yet somehow we're defending the fact that they're doing the exact opposite...

Everyone that thinks its reasonable for someone to set up an ad campaign for their 9 year old son's YouTube channel also has a very warped perspective and is well aligned with the companies you want to blame.

The Overton window of companies selling products that the user is manually buying while intentionally bypassing all existing safety measures? I don't understand how you can blame Google here.

Google specifically. The amount of people that "participate" in any thread related to Google posting and upvoting narratives that are good for it is staggering. The ones holding Google accountable are always at the bottom of the threads, flagged.

This has definitely not been my experience.

Too much immediate gratification at home.

It used to be that there was nothing to do at home. And so the entire outside world was filled with people looking for something to do.

You could leave and go anywhere and you'd find all the other people. And you'd find them doing in-person stuff. The best kind of stuff. The kind of stuff that makes it easy to build a rich life filled with connection.

Now outside has to compete with inside and it's not really a competition. And so all the outside stuff starts to disappear, further reinforcing the cycle.

Soon we'll have an entire world of people who don't know anything else. Who think that being inside is just fine, even if they all keep feeling like there's something they can't quite put their finger on missing in their life.

We're in the AI era now, every job is a supporting role.

Yeah, the industry will quickly shed all of the people who needed it to be one way and will grow with all the people who are capable of it being a different way.

So the wheel of the market turns.
