For the AI one to restrict it from children you have to determine the age of the person accessing it. How do you do that and still allow them to maintain anonymity? You would need some identification to do that reliably which means for the adults using it this site now has a database of whatever ID you had to send them to verify. Or if it's using a credit card or some government hosted verification then those entities have a database of what sites you're using tied to your name.

For banning short form content. How do you quantify what counts? Is it just the length of the video? You're going to be throwing out a lot of very useful videos along with the brain rot if you use that. I could point you to several craftsman channels that produce very informative shorts. If it's case by case who is the judge? What are the criteria?

Instead I’m just doing 2 examples and keep it shallow :

Th is case: A 14yo should not have completely unsupervised access to an ai chat bot - it needs to be by family/child account, same as for e.g. Fortnite. Also, given the nature of the matter and looking at the article: if the chat turns ’disturbing’ the parent needs to be made aware. (Etc etc)

Another case is TikTok: honestly, I’d just ban it together with shorts and reels. IMO this rots the brains of the younger generation. I’m not even sure there is a healthy way of consuming this type of content.

My company decided we don't need phones and makes us use Teams for calls. Every day I think about murdering the person who made that decision.

Okay. But by what mechanism would these things be enforced without encroaching on the privacy and freedoms of adults? It's the same problems as policing porn or violent media. No one wants the government looking over their shoulder.

Regulated how?

Add mandatory therapy and counseling to that list.

If he was falling in love with a chat bot he wasn't happy.

Damn. Guess I'll have to keep not paying for media.

There's plenty of great games these days. The "golden age" wasn't because of the quality of games. It was because I was able to delve into them deeply and enjoy them without all the concerns of my adult life running on the back of my mind pulling me out of it.

How long does it take to break even from the pollution and electricity spent to make and install these?

I'm in the US and spent most of my weekends at my girlfriend's house when I was that age. Her dad spent all his time at the bar so we we're always alone. Good times.

I'm on IPT and TL and getting ratio on them took fucking forever. It's basically impossible to do via seeding because everything gets flooded with seeders instantly. Occasionally they have stuff I can't find elsewhere but I mostly use public ones. If I didn't have to maintain a ratio on the private ones to download I would be seeding so much more of their shit. IMO seeding time is a much better metric to use to enforce seeding than ratio.
