He has an English BA degree. And he has taught high school. Yet, he presents himself as an expert in geopolitics and claims to be a professor. The guy is a fraud.

He is cosplaying as a professor.

Are they going to keep proposing this until it passes?

Are you setting it up so that you have some agents write code and others critique it/look for bugs? Playing them against each other sort of like GANs…

Value is determined when an asset is sold. At a price negotiated between buyer and seller. There is no such thing as unrealized profit or unrealized gain. How can you pass a law that is a logical contradiction? And can the public be expected to obey such laws?

Seriously? You expect me to show up at the local townhall to verify my age so that I can access certain websites. But nothing you have said is novel, it is already in practice. Alright.

Look, there is no way the government will be able to keep up with which websites or platforms are the most risky for minors. The curious ones will look for ways around the system and end up on those non-mainstream sites. The predators will look for ways around the system too. It is much better if the responsibility is taken by the parents. And I highly doubt the government would stop at only checking the age. There would soon be special licenses for special websites. Imagine the eightteen year olds lining up at the local townhall to apply for a license to watch porn. Or, less comically, unless you are vaccine verified you cannot access any websites except the government healthcare one. Enforced at the ISP level, for your own protection.

If there is a technical solution, I would be genuinely interested. Maybe something with zero knowledge proofs. But you would have to enforce it on every website and platform. It would have to be at the protocol level, rebuilding the whole internet around age verification. Which is just not going to happen.

Of course. The strange part was about not already recognizing the importance of privacy in tech. So what is your proposed solution?

What a strange comment.

Why are so many platforms doing this now? I just received a message from OpenAI that “we’ll begin using age prediction across our services to help provide safer, more age-appropriate experiences for teens.”
