I just don’t like the tone, because someone in congress will see the headline, and then we’ll have to endure:

REP OCTOGENARIO: The industry is lying to parents about the safety of this AI technology. I submit this for the record [without objection].

One person on a ‘hacker news’ site even said, “sorry Zuck,” after “jailbreaking” these supposed protections. … Another commentator on this “Hacks R Us” named b33j0r even said further, “I bet they’re reading this comment at a hearing in congress, right now.”

Wait but... The industry IS, in fact, lying to parents about the safety of this AI technology...

Without exaggerating too much, because I certainly don’t take this side, either:

Is an angle grinder safe? A tablesaw?

A car whose owner who uses the radio knobs, more than the steering? (Haha, unassisted driving, I mean! Walked right into that one.)

Etc, all of my examples have easily defeated safety mechanisms for an outrageously life-ending device ;)

As we speak, power hungry nanny-staters are working to remove your freedom to use those things. There's been a recent discussion about table saws and look at the push for interlocks, speed limiting etc in cars. It's all part of a wide trend unfortunately.

I'm alright with that. If our government uses a blogpost as an excuse to pass bad laws, we had very little chance to begin with. I also hate the idea of changing our behavior to babysit a bunch of deprecated boomers who fear technology just because there's a chance they might not understand something.
