The headline does describe the article. The article has more detail about the motivations and nuance of why certain weight and fitness videos are being promoted less to children.

The platform will still allow 13- to 17-year-olds to view the videos, but its algorithms will not push young users down related content “rabbit holes” afterwards.

If they included rabbit hole in the title, it would still be necessary for a lot of people unaware of the term to read the article to find out what that phrase means.

But a better system would for paying creators would be one of attribution and reward, where everyone can read whatever they want or stream whatever they want, and artists would be paid based on their number of views.

Which would be enforced through copyright...

It was fine when the limited duration was a reasonable number of years. Anything over 30 years max before being in the public domain is too long.

In addition to Brother, you can check out Samsung laser printers to see if they are still easy to use and don't have crappy software. I have one that is like 10 years old that to the best of my recollection worked when plugged in and I installed some basic drivers for additional features.

If it ever dies I will probably switch to Brother as the odds of Samsung going downhill is greater than Brother.

An LLM is like having the receptionist provide detailed information from what they have heard other people talk about in the lobby.

All AI share a central design flaw of being what people think they should return based on weighted averages of 'what people are saying' with a little randomization to spice things up. They are not designed to return factual information because they are not actually intelligent so they don't know fact from fiction.

ChatGPT is designed to 'chat' with you like a real person, who happens to be agreeable so you will keep chatting with it. Using it for any kind of fact based searching is the opposite of what it is designed to do.

To most people, the Internet is just there to be taken for granted like the public street and park outside someone’s house.

Both of which require maintenance that most people don't think about...

Did they market it at all?

All I have seen is the post mortem articles. Deadlock has had more marketing.

Fediverse memes can be posted anywhere, including in existing memes communities. That's where all the beans and jeans memes are.
