Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults. And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

We tested how autonomous AI agents perform on real software tasks from our recent developer productivity RCT.

We found a gap between algorithmic scoring and real-world usability that may help explain why AI benchmarks feel disconnected from reality.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Tomorrow: My 13,500 word historical and financial analysis on how the AI Bubble is magnitudes worse than the Dot Com Bubble, with a contagion that will spread throughout the global markets and our society.

Here's $10 off annual.

edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...
I Am Deeply Worried About How Not Like The Dot Com Bubble This Is I spent hours and hours reading old articles through broken paywalls and archive.org links in the hopes I’d find some sort of positive spin - a way that the AI bubble wasn’t as bad, some sliver or nugget of joy, some shred of hope, and everything I’ve read has made me more and more worried. The real problem is that there are similarities, but only with the worst parts of both bubbles. We’ve got stupid amounts of money being sunk into stuff. We’ve got stupid companies that want to IPO. We’ve got hopeless startups juiced up by credulous venture capitalists and marketed by even-more credulous journalists. Except this time we have the worst margins this side of a vineyard planted in Las Vegas Nevada, and despicable boosters that will go to war with you to try and prove you wrong using ghost stories, fairy tales and pixie dust. I realize I’m being a little cavalier and colloquial about this, and that’s because I feel utterly emotionally drained by this - things are so much worse than I thought. I really felt like I’d dig into the past and find that there were direct, obvious similarities, and thus have some degree of hope that things wouldn’t be apocalyptic. Instead, I’m convinced that things will be much, much worse. The dot com bubble was relatively distributed, and created useful infrastructure. The ideas of some of the most prominent dot com startups were valid, but based on stupid hypergrowth business models that didn’t make sense and were only sustained through mass hysteria and ignorance. By comparison, AI startups are fundamentally illogical, selling unreliable software that’s best-known for its consistent mistakes and active harms backed by the corrosive and ever-worsening infrastructural costs. And they’re the customers of the largest company on the stock market, that can only keep its valuation, on which the markets depend, by selling more of an expensive-to-buy and more-expensive-to-ins… The Logical Endpoint Of My Argument Depending on how right I am, I worry that the following will happen: NVIDIA will lose anywhere from 40% to 90% of its revenue, which will annihilate the value of the S&P 500. Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta will face massive, multi-billion dollar impairments within the next few years. Oracle will face potential bankruptcy or at least a severe, horrendous series of layoffs and restructuring efforts to try and right the ship after agreeing to $248 billion in lease obligations primarily to get the revenue from its $300 billion, 5-year-long deal with OpenAI, a company that is going to run out of money in the next year. Venture capital is going to take such a severe haircut from the AI bubble that it will effectively kill any chances of raising a round after Series B for many, many years. Those $178.5 billion in data center debt deals will be predominantly underwater, leading to massive losses for private equity and banks (leading to a chill in effectively all debt markets), and massive job losses across the many, many construction projects that have started as a result of the AI bubble. If OpenAI or Anthropic can manage to go public, every investor will lose out as they collapse under the weight of their bullshit assumptions. Every partner, every company relying on them, every infrastructure provider will be burned. I also believe that we, as a society, will face a violent paradigm shift as a result of the AI bubble bursting, because it revealed how many people do not understand stuff. The amount of bosses, influencers, movie stars, politicians and other individuals of note that have fallen behind generative AI and claimed again and again that it can do things that it can’t and perpetuated myths that will lead to massive societal harms both today and in the future have revealed themselves as fucking frauds. It’s been obvious since 2023 that generative AI flat out does not do what many people say it will and obvious since 2024 t… And believe me, even if I’m half right, things will likely be so much worse than when the dot com bubble burst. I don’t see a scenario where anything survives the collapse of CoreWeave, let alone the collapse of OpenAI. I don’t see a scenario where any more than a few AI startups survive, and if that happens, there won’t be any customers for those GPUs - not that anywhere near enough existed to fill even a tiny percentile of the demand. On some level, I hope I’m wrong. I just don’t know how anymore.

@alltsunnodere.bsky.social actually, speaking of a title with a female lead who is an eroge fan without any male gaze, kodansha just licensed a title exactly like that (and it's the same magazine as WHA)

RIP to Kiriko Nananan. The only work accessible in English is “Blue” (originally in comic Are! and later released under Feel Comics by Shodensha). It’s published in English by Ponent Mon. We almost got Sweet Cream & Red Strawberries (originally Feel Young magazine) from CPM but alas 2008 happened.
