You seem to be confused. Yes-men were often rather smart. They said yes in a ploy to get what they wanted, like a promotion and higher pay.
Lemmings, sheep and such weren’t necessarily not thinking, they are drawn to being part of a social group and follow it for a sense of belonging. They often spend a lot of time thinking about how to stay part of the group.
Doormats are people who avoid confrontation, and again, they think about it a lot, but find themselves unable to stand up to it.
There are of course people who just have low IQ. But I assume you aren’t belittling them for using AI to help them do what they can’t.

The brain is a muscle… really? I wonder where you heard that. Probably a person. Maybe you should fact check that with AI next time.
Noone says that asking a person a question is offloading their thinking. But if you ask AI it is? How does that work?

You never even said my point was wrong. You just didn’t like one of the examples I used to illustrate my point. You said nothing about the other example. So you focused in on one example and ignored the point. And I never said you were an idiot. Nor did I even make a comment about everyone who disagreed with me. Just the people who focused on the example instead of the point. A very small subset really. But it does contain you.

Ah such a sweet summer child. The vast majority of hotels aren’t for people on vacation. They are for business travelers. That is where the money is. Catering to vacation travelers is like McDonald’s serving breakfast, or a bagel shop selling dinner.

Just because he idolizes the nazi military doesn’t mean he’s a nazi. He is of course. But that’s not why, everything else he does is why.

Are you expecting parents ro tag along when their kid geso over to a friends house as a low tech solution?
And you highlighted that chat didn’t have any controls… but now imagine a parent who doesn’t even know what steam is. They likely also don’t know it even has a chat feature.
Then let’s add that many middle schoolers and up are handed a chromebook at school that they get to take home. And it’s protections are pretty weak. But the kid needs it to do homework. So you are saying that parents should be sitting with them every second they are on any device. Sorry son, you can’t do your homework right now because I have to make dinner. That’s unreasonable.
I don’t understand why some of you want to give corporations a pass, and put all the blame on the parents.

Um, me. No internet until I got to college. And even then, I was one of the early ones to get into it. It technically existed before that, but it wasn’t much of a thing. If we got stuck on a game on our Commodore 64s we had to buy a magazine or order a hint book. I have two kids who I still need to manage parental controls for. And most of the people I grew up with still have kids at home. Same for the ones I went to college with. And I’m not even 50 yet.
- Comment on Australia says platforms like Steam and Roblox have 'significant' child safety gaps 3 weeks ago:
Most parents have a list a mile long of things they have to learn to raise their kids. There is only so much effort to go around. Most of the ones I know have tried to manage these things, but not only are there so many different sets of controls, but they are always changing. And of course what if the kid is at a friends house. Do you expect mom and dad to tag along so they can supervise? And when does the kid learn to be independent. You can’t win as a parent. You are either accused of helicopter parenting or not putting in enough effort. And really, these companies have teams of specialist trying to make their product as addictive and enticing to kids as possible. You expect parents to be able to fight that on hundreds of fronts a day. Kids will find a way no matter what parents do.
- Comment on Australia says platforms like Steam and Roblox have 'significant' child safety gaps 3 weeks ago:
Oh I get it, you somehow know what everyone can do. And you get to say who should and shouldn’t have kids. Wait, are you God? No. Okay then, get off your soapbox and live in the real world. Can’t believe you think knowing what DNS is should be a requirement for having kids.

Debit cards make sense. Though I would expect those to be usable as CCs for the verification part.
- Comment on Australia says platforms like Steam and Roblox have 'significant' child safety gaps 3 weeks ago:
Id checks don’t do anything. They are a joke to fake. I was just responding to all the people who think it’s so easy to “just supervise” your kids. They probably don’t have kids.
- Comment on Australia says platforms like Steam and Roblox have 'significant' child safety gaps 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. No. Not everyone has the ability to be tech savvy.
On top of that, the controls are very weak. I’m very tech savvy, and there are things I can’t stop my kids from doing on their devices. Mainly because the device maker isn’t incentivized to make it possible for the control software to stop those things. It always sounds good on paper, but when you try to actually use it, you find out how bad it really is. Plus, each game has it’s own set of controls, and then each device… - Comment on Australia says platforms like Steam and Roblox have 'significant' child safety gaps 3 weeks ago:
You do realize plenty of them were born and raised without the internet, right? There is a big difference between people raised with the internet and those not. Plus, parental controls are not even an after thought for must companies. They are a “we need something to claim we have parental controls”. Most of them just plain suck. Then you have different controls for different games, and different devices… even the tech savvy struggle. Plus the controls often have easy workarounds.
- Comment on Australia says platforms like Steam and Roblox have 'significant' child safety gaps 3 weeks ago:
Okay so… all the people who are saying “supervise your kid”. Keep in mind that a lot of parents aren’t tech savvy. So often they don’t know the difference from a basic single player no online game and something where you interact with strangers. And the parental controls on every system are different. So it ends up being an all or nothing choice for these parents.
Add to that, kids these days socialize online a lot. My teen plays lots of teamwork games with her irl friends. And that is great for the development of social skills.
I happen to work from home, and in tech, so I am usually in the same room on a computer. Easy supervision. But other parents don’t have it so easy.

- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 4 weeks ago:
Right, but sending them say to the moon, to perfect the tech, then sending the tech to further places will drastically speed up the process. The moon is at least not too far away. Mars isn’t terrible either. But the overhead is high compared to the distance. So being able to iterate without a launch (human presence) is a big win. If we were talking saturn, then the gains start to diminish. So perfect it on the moon, maybe mars if there is some reason it is drastically different, then use it elsewhere. Maybe even send some outside the solar system. Though without significant improvements in propulsion, there isn’t a lot of point to sending outside the solar system.
- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, but humans are impatient. Each rover has only a select set of tools. It can’t adapt to what it might find. It has to wait for another rover to be sent. To automate modifying the rovers will take a lot of hands on experience. Then ideally they could just ship up parts to be swapped in.

Tourism. Tell me you don’t want to try sleeping in reduced gravity.
Probably invent some new sports. And because we don’t know what we don’t know. So it’s hard to build a robot to look for what we don’t know about. - Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 4 weeks ago:
I think though it would help to have people there while they perfect the automation.

I can really do this with my boss. He is so disorganized and bad with time management that he misses things in slack all the time. So I can just say I missed that message… are you sure you sent it. And he really doesn’t know if he did.

I had an A5 (in the US though). Tasted nothing like people told me it would. But it was absolutely amazing. Never had anything that good. But cheaper steak with some seasoning was decently close.

Spices in quantity are generally used to improve subpar ingredients. If you get top quality meat, it needs nothing but cooking. But most of us can’t afford top quality meats all the time.

I guess I also discounted all the people using AI to generate the stupid report their upper management wants but never read. That really does improve their quality of life. :)
- Comment on I'm not sure they will 1 month ago:
Not sure who needs to hear this but… the average person isn’t using AI for anything important, nor likely anything that really involves much thinking. Heck they aren’t even choosing to use it, they are just doing a google search. Some of us use it for work. But for that case, I refer back to my first sentence.
