But the title seems to imply it was about over sharing, while the rest of the article seems focused on the culture of constant alcohol and drugs which likely has more to do with the way things ended.

Hard to say what is true with a publication like this.

Wow, that's a stark take. I suppose I'm biased towards a scientific viewpoint. All the best.

Interestingly enough, using an LLM-as-judge is a great way to approach things like this at scale but you do need to invest in some Cohen's Kappa or Fleiss' Kappa understanding which means putting a human in the driver seat to evaluate the effectiveness of your non-human judge. Absent of that, it's just another case of human-centipede but with LLMs.

Developing a classifier can be a weird ordeal when you leave the ML world (of making it work) and enter the realm of policy makers applying it.

My guess is they're being ham fisted with little tolerance for false negatives. We can all guess why...

I can see this being true for non-critical software like entertainment, media, and so on.

Definitely not true for systems where security stakes are high. Like banking, aviation, defense, etc.. AI will surely contribute but not independent of human engineering understanding.

I'm curious. What are the best sites nowadays? Still torrents, right?

I used to be in the know but switched to legit things a while back so I wouldn't have to explain how dad is getting Bluey episodes.

Useful ad for Facebook. They made money on it. The advertiser didn't.

Ugh. Tell me you're early in career without telling me. Sophomoric take.

I was driving on a WA highway going ~47 mph (I made note of it for reasons soon to be clear!) when a group of 3 tweens on ebikes, none wearing helmets, passed me up in the bike lane going at least 10mph faster, and I watched them run through a red light up ahead. They got lucky.

I don't have a problem with kids being kids but this is over the top dangerous. To be clear, it's a few small groups of kids. There have been crashes, and they sent a Bellevue woman to the hospital in a hit and run, but as far as I know there's been no fatalities yet.

We don't need to drop the hammer on kids. We just need some common sense.

But with the callout that SpaceX (via xAI) is trying really hard to be a giant.

This strike me more as a repeated internet myth more than anything else. There is near endless opportunity for purpose-specific robot forms.

This is 100% about children.

At the moment, there is world wide pushback on children using social media. Ex countries pursuing this right now: Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil, France, Denmark, Norway, Spain, Italy, Greece, Austria, Poland, Slovenia, South Korea, and Thailand. I'm sure I missed a few too.

And in the US, no federal efforts (yay dysfunctional legislature!) but at the state level; Florida, California, Tennessee, Utah, New York, Nebraska, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Vermont, and Ohio are all pursuing different forms of age restriction.

The science is pretty clear at this point: social media is terrible for mental health, attention, and addictive behaviors.

Now how to effectively restrict it without trampling on privacy rights? That's a very difficult question requiring some compromise. (I don't have the answers...)
