"Imagine waking up tomorrow and every billionaire vanished."

I imagine this almost every night. It's called a "dream."

It's good to have dreams.

Really curious what was broken about the screen. There is no glass, the LCD is recessed... Did a connection come loose?

The most unrealistic thing about this post is the idea that you might drop a GBA and break it's screen. Those things were practically indestructible.

I mean, this has been me my entire life, so idk what that means. But also I'm older now so I finally have the excuse!

Parent here ✋

I don't do this, and I think it's a shame that some parents do. But I also don't want to jump the gun and blame the parents.

Parenting is hard! Kids are burdensome! That is kind of the point.

But also, parents cannot be on 100% of the time. "Good Parenting" is a privilege for those with the capacity to not be completely exhausted by just surviving day to day with a family.

So I don't 100% blame the parents. Sure, some parents just shouldn't be, but you often don't know that as a parent until it's too late. Sometimes parents make bad decisions, but it's usually due to external pressures.

Which brings me to who I do blame: the corporations and other orgs putting AI out there as an option for parents and kids when it really shouldn't be.

This is like marketing cigarettes to kids.

I also blame health orgs for not standing up and yelling "this is harmful!". At pediatric checkups, they ask questions about exercise, screen time, and other health related activities. If the answer raises a red flag you are given literature about it. The same should be true with pediatric AI use.
