    Mary Anne Franks: Beauty filters could be used by 9 to 13 year olds, so they should not exist.

    So anything that could cause harm to a 9 to 13 year old should not exist?

    Minda Smiley: But most teens are on TikTok over Instagram. But they settled out of court.

    Altman is a snake oil salesman and AI will be the biggest bubble the world has ever seen.
    AGI is a pipedream, no matter how much compute is added, AI does not scale linearly, it’s like trying to reach the speed of light, small speeds are easy to achieve but anything with a mass will never even approach a fraction of the speed of light.
    ChatGPT is burning though cash like crazy and with no sources of income it depends on investors committing astronomical amounts of money.
    And all this with no clear plan how to monetize it, Altman said the ChatGPT AI agent will figure out how to make money when it gets a bit more intelligent.
    Google is much better placed in the AI race, it has plenty of income from other sources to finance its AI business.
