You’d hope, but no. Tech space is littered with “I asked chat-whatever-the-fuck how to delete cookies and it told me that I’m smart” people

The shit about numbered worlds is a relic from the cold war. Neither of the worlds exist anymore, really.

That’s not how it works my man. If you’re claiming something it’s your burden to prove it. If instead you start butthurt rants, it means you know shit about shit and should be discarded.

No, the whole thing is that we anticipate them doing something

Kids has social lives before the internet so your argument

I will let you figure out yourself what’s wrong with your logic without insulting you with stating the obvious

What in the fuck are we even talking about then, you know shit about the topic and don’t care (don’t get me wrong, valid stance)

In US? Unless you’re very lucky with location, and 99% aren’t, you can’t ride a bike anywhere, it’s dangerous and there are stroads everywhere. You can’t see their friends in real life because there is no place to gather, and nobody is doing that anyway. Kids are talking to each other on various internets and talking in memes the pick up online. You can’t even socialise with non-technology freaks and wonabe amish, they’re all home schooled.
It’s slightly different in other, more developed countries. But even then, not being able to connect with your peers on discord will cost the kid a bunch of socialising points, and make their social life that much harder (up to impossible) for no reason.
And that’s just social life, I’m not even talking about the fact that you practically taking away any prospect of a good employment rising them like that.
Maybe talk to your kids once in a while so they don’t want to seek connection with 30 year old maga predators on the internet as a crude replacement for personal connection, instead of locking them up in a tower.

Playstore got so unbelievably bad now, and it happened so quickly, I feel like I’m going insane. Who’s decision was to do it like that and was there even a person to make decisions!

VPN is irrelevant here if you will need a government ID to access it, what difference does it make what country you pretend to be from

You don’t have to buy your kid a smart phone or tablet or computer.

You do if you want them to be normal members of society with any skills. Things are happening on a computer now, so if you want your kid to not be a socially isolated looser they kind of have to have one.

Is it? Is there research on it?

If you can write a full-ass Wikipedia article you don’t need slopogen to smoother it into a paste of an average. You already wrote a full-ass Wikipedia article, good, done. Nerds from all over the world will fix your wording if it’s appropriate, that’s why it’s collaborative, that’s what made it good.
We all know it’s not how people use slopogen. People use it instead of thinking, instead of working, instead of writing. And if not banned completely, that’s what people will be doing with it, all the time, because people like to not spend any effort.

The problem is, it doesn’t improve text, it worsens it. And if your grasp of the language isn’t good enough, you can edit a page in your own language, or ask nerds in the discussion section to help you, it will be better written, they will be happy, and you might learn something.
Asking a slop generator to generate some slop about what you wanted to write will make things worse.

It couldn’t be. Lying bias machine that gives people psychosis can’t magically stop being what it is. So it will always be terrible and unnecessary at best, harmful at regular.

I mean, depending on the word integrated. Everything is integrated in a sense. But it’s harder to be more integrated than being literally the same app.

Google seems to start cracking down on free android, I don’t really believe they want to just stop the ability to install apps on your regular android and be done with it. Once they get the taste for blood, they can’t stop

Another server that belongs to the same company as your browser, so they have an access to both ends of the direct line. If you don’t trust Mozilla to be thrustworthy vpn server (which is good, shouldn’t trust anyone), bad news, they already have an access to your whole traffic because they own your browser

I don’t think anything other than degoogled Android is mature enough to recommend. And it looks like degoogled androids might extinct soon.

I’ve heard that 15 years ago

They added dangerous bullshit that nobody wanted with no good ability to turn it off, and then, year or so later, added a switch to turn it off.
Most of the Firefox users don’t want for llm to read web pages for them and group their tabs based on whatever bullshit rules it hallucinated this day. People go to Google and Microslop for this treatment.
