They’re not binary, but when an issue persists for decades, over the course of multiple administrations, and political landscape… it shows either the country is incompetent in terms of solving an issue, or the issue is not a priority.

I wholeheartedly believe US can solve issues when it’s an important one. And thus, I think, for an average American it’s not an issue.

Decades is a very long timeframe. Countries have achieved more in shorter periods.

I obviously don’t live in the US. My entire point was that people say that care about school shootings and etc., but unless they do anything about it, those are just words.

Given the voting record of the majority of the population, I tend to believe that an average American cares more about SPX. Which, honestly, is fine by me. Every nation and culture is different, freedom and etc. etc.. But it would be hard to convince me that an average citizen cares about it, because, once again, nothing has changed in decades.

For the record, I have nothing against Americans, you guys are a lovely bunch. But it is what it is.

I'm very sorry, but I've heard that "there's large public support for X, Y, Z" for decades. If there's no real action in achieving such things, my assumption is people don't actually care about it.

Personally, when I "care about something", I try to act on it. My list is not long, and I'm very grateful that I don't have to spend a single minute of my life to think about school shootings.

>harder to get the average joe charged up to fight a battle with anything meaningful on the line

Doesn't this imply that on average people just don't care? So, school shooting preventions are just way down in the list of "things I care about", when you have "cushy lives where nobody wants to sacrifice their QOL".

Caring with no significant action in prevention doesn’t really signal caring. Sure, it sucks, headlines get printed for a couple of months, then people forget and move on.

To put it in the most disrespectful and sad way, it looks like more people have been on the streets for Knicks games than most (any?) school shootings of the past decades.

You are not the target audience, that’s pretty much it. You can be very against AI, try to turn it off on Kagi, avoid Google AI summaries, discard ChatGPT/Claude, but billions of people still use them. At this point it has been argued so much that it’s kinda pointless.

People seem to enjoy to be told stuff and don’t really care about sources if the said content is somewhat correct.

AI is not, and was not the reason why the average user moved away from Firefox.

AI is however a potential avenue for raising money.

You’ll be surprised what people in PE, VC, banking, other financial institutions are doing with AI right now. It starts with AI summary of a balance sheets, followed by AI summary of quarterly financial reports, followed by… yeah.

You’re underestimating how much companies are willing to bend over backwards if they can “get ahead with a god model” compared to their competitors.

I really hope it goes well! I’m in favour of smartphone bans, but I can see how it sucks when you’re the only one without access to it. I was a teenager once after all.

That being said, I can’t imagine myself drawing pictures, or playing boardgames every day with my friends when I was 13. Wouldn’t be happy if my parents didn’t let me play WoW/AoM with my friends. Obviously everyone is different, and I’m in no place to say you’re doing it wrong. Just trying to say how it would suck if I couldn’t do something that all my peers are allowed to do.

This all is the main reason why I support nation-wide social media bans. Would solve the issue if no kids were allowed.

I also grew up without a smartphone, but “stuff that kids talk about” happens online now. Wasn’t the case even 10-15 years ago, since you could still be part of conversations without a phone.

But yeah, I support the school-wide smarthphone bans. Not uncommon in Tokyo.

Easier to say. Your child will just despise you for willingly making their school life hell.

As you mentioned, it’s trends. There’s nothing really sticky or mass-adoption like. This also isn’t necessarily new, as polaroids have been trending for over a decade now.

Most of the same kids still scroll instagram, listen on spotify and etc. At least that’s what I’m seeing around me.

> In that case >2 nukes would have been dropped

This is a maybe. What we’ve seen so far, no two nuclear superpowers ever nuked each other, as they know both will suffer.

They give/sell me the thing that I want, and it works for me. Multiply it by hundreds of thousands.

I’d blame the bad actors, rather than service providers that alleviate the problem.

Again quite arguable, but this is the real life scenario we’re living in. Nukes have made it hard to impossible for super major powers to go in direct conflict with each other.

Sorry for nitpicking, but:

> If nukes were not invented yet, would it really be a good idea to build and sell them as fast as possible (in peace time, no less)?

Arguably, yes.
