I interpret this article, and all related discussion, as an invitation to talk about my personal finance habits.

I think teachers did tell us exactly this. But we were 15 and we didn't believe them or didn't listen.

He didn't quite say "widespread." He said "rewarded."

>That quote is the article, and it's a little surprising that it's buried so far into the content

Is it really surprising in 2026? Today's online writing style is not primarily designed to communicate. It's designed to keep the reader 'engaged' for as long as possible. The reader's time is a resource to be extracted.

I'm absolutely not poking this author individually. It's the writing style of the net

Oh, good point, thanks.

Thank goodness unemployment is down.

It's definitely not just you :)

Yeah it's as if the publishers are somehow strapped for cash compared to AI companies.

>Ethics as opposed to morality is about codified rules

That's not accurate. See e.g. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-theory/ section 1.2.1 "Morality and Ethics"

Not by just feeding in a lot of old time series.

Yeah I don't understand the kvetching about someone making a movie. What's the downside? * The movie might suck. * Millions of people might watch a movie I don't like * Family or friends might force me to watch it.

Two words: why should I care?

Exception: If you personally are Homer, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

The Odyssey? Or the review?

Sure. If it really is hate, then that's the right word.

Sure, of course. I'm trying to draw a distinction between disagreement and hate. I'm not trying to eliminate either one.

Can I ask for more info? Is it the perfect word for how some people feel about the tech industry? The perfect word to describe disagreement?

Ok fair.

Yeah. "Hate": https://www.kapwing.com/blog/why-does-the-public-hate-the-te...

Re the linked piece, I'm concerned about people saying "they hate us" when they really mean "they disagree with us" or "they seem skeptical of what we say." It can easily become click bait.

The language changes, sure ... but equating disagreement with the emotion of hatred? Maybe that language change is a bad idea? Just spitballing here.

>Whether or not these girls had phones, or social media, was irrelevant

The article explains why that was not irrelevant.

The article explains very clearly what these issues have to do with each other in this particular case.

TFA gives an example where kids are at risk and an old person is misusing a phone. It is clearly not advocating for this scenario to occur more often. Can you show anything else to indicate that the conclusion is "toughen them up"?

I disagree, but thanks for making a coherent argument. It's a ray of sunshine.

In TFA, the author says "agency" not "full agency." I also can't find all these other issues (jobs, etc) in TFA. Where are you getting this?

I agree that there are several different issues at work. Can you show an example of how TFA conflates some of them?

You may disagree with the author's conclusions, but that doesn't make the article nonsense.

In what sense does Genghis Khan get away with it? He was a monster.

Some folks might consider 500 years "permanent."

Please don't do this.

I see. Ok.

Atari's whole attitude in the early 1980s was "you will buy games that suck."

I guess we should declare victory. You've acknowledged how LLMs actually work.
