Do not forget the VPN was rebadged from mullvad (I think) so it was not even their own stuff

Teaching kids about openness and dangers of online activities is one of the best things to do. Make sure your kids feel safe to tell you what they are up to and you as a parent be also trusting on your kids judgment if they tell you the truth. Sure, some privacy is needed, but if something is up there is ground to talk about it.

Another thing not discussed at all is parents actually spending time on what the kids use as apps or understand their social life, to make sure you understand as a parent how something works or how the circle of friends look like.

This is a bit of a different issue. This as more to do parents not feeling that being part of this group is normal or acceptable. Kids need privacy on devices to an extent, but should be closely checked if there are any red flags on groomers, scammers or similar encroaching in the kid’s life

The language used in the entire thing is so off putting. Like they really really want you to believe is for the children. Also, the first country in the world that won’t allow children to share pictures of themselves nude? I had to chuckle at that (to be clear, I think children should not operate devices unattended to avoid stuff like this, but that should be parenting, not daddy government)

I see a lot of people dog pilling on the down votes and getting all rilled up on someone that did try and unfortunately did not make things work. Why? Did is the sort of behavior that drove me away from linux many years ago (I am back with fedora and things work quite better since then). When you are ready to help out and/or be more understandable then things improve. Until then, you are creating moats with people you didn’t even met or understand.

And that is also true, however, as a CEO you are paid for mostly 3 things:

• company steering
• company vision
• accountability

If a CEO fails the accountability part… Why is he even being paid? I had a discussion over the years about managers that don’t take responsibility if someone on their team messed up and throw under the bus whoever did the thing wrong. If I was in a position of power, I am sure I would fire the manager on the spot. It is literally part of your function to take responsibility in a collective level

You are not wrong, but if you read between the lines it says the message exactly as I mentioned, claiming “they did it”, like the CEO has nothing to do with it

This story reminds me of something else I have been pointing out for a very long time. It is not so uncommon to see layoffs after McKinsey drops by the building for a while (could also be bein or other consultancies in the same field), and more often than not, ceos like to say " they made me do it!!". So… To be clear, you do not have agency and you are not control whatsoever about these layoffs? Really? Sounds difficult to believe.

What we are seeing right now is a massive backlash on how llms got advertised and subsequent effects (I mean, did you see the price of ram lately?). The thing is, if this got advertised and grew in a responsible manner, all of this would not exist. We would have most people evaluating llms as tools instead of being the anti Christ. It is a shame, but it is what we have. Also, I do think llms will be better in the future, but much smaller than what we have now (and more local as well).

The problem is a bit more nuanced unfortunately. There has been open source projects that decided to close bug reports because there is just so many of them, and, a good portion of them are either duplicated or straight up not relevant (meaning, in a vacuum you could say there is a bug on place x, but looking at the code more broadly it doesn’t really apply). If the bug reports that came out were mostly good quality and relevant I would for sure be more positive of this.

On situations like this, redirect the people to recent incidents that prove the point. The last typhoon attacks on the USA make super clear on how brittle the network infrastructure can be, but also how insecure some legacy protocols are. EDIT: also the odido data leak on the Netherlands also proves a lot this point as well.

If you happen to want to know more on why, there are 2 podcasts that talk about this on a very regular basis:

• Deep Questions with Cal Newport - super chill guy that every week has an episode on ai reality check. Usually explains quite at length why something is happening on ai why is factual or not
• Better offline - Ed can be quite opinionated and sometimes borderline ranty, but he also tends to breakdown stuff like financial numbers on ai investment and why (or why not) you should break those down.

He does not change does he? He needs therapy, yesterday
