- Comment on If you're a parent, how do you prevent your kid from watching AI slop? 2 days ago:
Just to like the radio, television, internet, etc...AI slip is here to stay, it might die down, but the cats out of the bag. I would take the same steps you would regular parental controls for tv/phone/internet if you're concerned.
Secondly and more importantly you should be teaching your kids critical thinking skills and not to believe everything they see or hear...just like that old quote
"Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear."
The reason I say that is regardless of what you think of AI, it's good enough now to where you can grab a few minutes sound bite of someone from Facebook or YouTube and be able to imitate there voice.
This generation is going to have to be much more viligant not just about spam emails, but audio and video calls imitaing a manger or a significant other...it's going to be very interesting

Tax exempt status for religions applies to federal income tax. Sales tax is per state and state taxes vary between states.
I'm not a tax account or attorney, but maybe if they keep the receipts they can file there taxes and report it and maybe get the money back.
Since taxes are filed every year is this the first year they've been a pastor or whatever and doesn't know? If it is their first year and they're complaining about taxes on apps and phones or whatever, then it sounds like theyre kind of trashy to be honest.
- Comment on Facial age checks are now required to chat with anyone on Roblox 5 days ago:
No, having children upload facial images to verify there age??? In the age of AI and deep fakes, or I don't know selling that data to other entries with far more nefarious purposes.
This dude doesn't care about kids, he sent a cease and desist to someone who actually was doing something and caught six predators on the platform.
He also said Roblox could be a dating platform which is a red flag since they probably know there platform attracts child predators.
If that wasn't enough of reason he donated $2.5M to the White House Ballroom.
