You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

I hadn’t been up at Universal Citywalk in ages but the new pizza place that opened last week was pretty good. Pricey but the slices are giant. Half the options were square pizza and half were triangles - lots of topping combo selections.

When platforms are forced to block “anything that might harm kids,” the result is overreach. A real rights-respecting solution to keeping people safe online is one that's built on user control, privacy, and smart design, not censorship. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
