<p>Everywhere (reddit, YouTube, Spotify) need to have a button to flag and then flag as ai. Reddit really has it buried in multiple levels of menus.<p>People are pretty darn good now at spotting ai.<p>An alternative is just use ai to look at the comments. Almost anything with AI has comments complaining about it.<p>All of these sites need to deal with it because it does drive away users.</p>

<p>I like grok for noncoding stuff. I find it hasn't been tuned for "Safety" (meaning it isn't tuned much for political correctness). It also seems good at making images and stories up well. I run some choose your own adventures stories with my kids through it. We tell it who each of their characters are and what the theme is for the night and grok gives them each a section of story and 4 choices. They also have the option of choosing something different then suggested. We have it so it cycles around the turns for everyone. Works pretty well, and if the kids wanna go dark (preteen boy) grok doesn't mind the violence.<p>Kinda reminds me of the video game from enders game.</p>

<p>Facebook is a single website. Other websites can host it just fine.<p>This is the same as blocking content on your own forum or comment section on your blog. Yes fb is huge, but still just a website, and one with fading popularity.<p>Blocking ips on a network level is different.</p>

<p>"Federal funding typically covers 80% of bus purchases, with agencies responsible for the remainder."<p>Well, there is your answer. The one making the purchase isn't the one primarily paying for the purchase. This makes them less sensitive to pricing.<p>Kinda like how expensive healthcare is since it is paid for by insurance.<p>Or how you don't care how much you put on your plate or what you choose to eat at an all you can eat buffet.<p>The second you detach the consumer from the price of something, even through an intermediary such as health insurance, that is when they stop caring about how much something costs, and so the price jumps.</p>

<p>So, this cut out the least fit for work. One group heavily cut out would be those without work experience such as kids and other first entering the marketplace.<p>Fast food is a stepping stone job, and if employeers have to pay more for labor then they will be pickier about it.<p>Let's think about the reverse. If we cut minimum wage, the sector would be much more loose about hiring first time workers, convicts, or people just not fit for other jobs. The people could grow their skills and contribute more to society, a society where low end business constantly complain about how hard it is to find skilled workers.<p>High minimum wage contributes to more people on social safety nets living on low fixed incomes because the gulf between that and paid employment becomes too great and there is no low wage on ramp for them.</p>
