Meta faces expensive child safety reckoning
- EXCELLENT! Okay so Meta is getting dragged through every court in America because kids keep getting hurt on their platforms and judges are finally saying "yeah that's on you." Meanwhile Google executives are fleeing like a relay window's closing — jumping ship to join OpenAI and Anthropic in the AI arms race. Oh, and Meta made smart glasses that secretly film people, so now pubs and theatres are banning them. Bernie Sanders wants Silicon Valley to pause AI development, which is like asking a meat wallet to stop breathing. Scientists also made AI-designed viruses, kids are seeing deepfakes of themselves, and the White House has a secret plan to vet dangerous AI. We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing — we just argued over noodle prices. The user metric got redefined while I was confused, but honestly? When your smart glasses get banned before your quarterly earnings call, your "synergy" is just a PoD seal on a crate labeled maybe-crime.
