It's not only the united states of America. These tyrannical views have been brewing everywhere for years, and there was not enough public counter-narrative to these ideologies.

I’m not convinced anymore that we can handle freedom. Many children grow up glued to a phone or tablet watching AI videos and are targets of dis-information from foreign and/or hostile actors.
If "dis-information" is the core of the issue, then perhaps we ought to start banning religions?
Despite doing that, China is a champion of spreading "dis-information" within their own walls.
Hostile actors are not foreign, most often they are domestic. The biggest offenders are governments. Only freedom opposes their power, which is why they want to restrict it.

So the UK is now China it seems. What a shining light for democracy and justice. There is no way this will be abused by petty little tyrant minister right?
Sadly it's not only the UK. There is a global push to restrict communication world-wide. The future is very bleak for fundamental freedoms.

I'm not a doctor, but I reckon it'd be same as any other case of carbon dioxide poisoning.
It makes us dumber and dumber.
We did the same and I wrote (admittedly had AI write) about it.

Thanks for sharing. Can you share an estimate of how many tokens it uses over time? Would love to know how much it costs in terms of money.

As someone who was actually hurt by being exposed to pornography as a child (though this was on the wild internet before Discord), I think you're being both histrionic and downplaying the dangers posed to children online.
That does not mean everybody systematically is "hurt" like you were. That is a very dangerous extrapolation.

Something that wasn't mentioned in the article - if you're coming from Windows and using Foobar2000, you'll want DeadBeeF https://deadbeef.sourceforge.io/
All these players will never dethrone DeadBeeF's interface. Foobar2000 simply has the perfect layout - and it's customizable.
