What really needs to be banned are social media algorithms. This is just telling kids they can't have digital crack cocaine until they're 16.

Our regular reminder that when we’re driving, we’re not stuck in traffic.
We ARE traffic.
That’s a product of our individual choices, as well as our collective choices that we have a say in, including who we choose to give massive city-building powers to and the choices they make with that power.

researchers studying non human animal cognition get laughed out of science if they use a word like “knows” or “understands” about an animal (a being with a brain) but every AI paper is all “the model appears to be aware it is being intentionally deceptive and in fact is afraid of being caught”
