Technically, humans are just bio machines, running very complicated software. AI just isn’t there yet.

Oh, at some point it will lol

You’re absolutely right! I feel like sometimes you need to pull your kids in the direction you think is right for them. And I think if a parent does a really good job at explaining why things are the way they are and at giving their kids a good understanding of right and wrong, then those kids will figure out a lot of stuff on their own very quickly.

I just see two extremes way too often when I go out:

1. Patents who let their kids do whatever and don’t establish themselves as a figure or trust and guidance.

2. Parents who take it too far into the other direction and force their own beliefs on their kids, maybe even passing on their own trauma.

Neither one is good imo. But also, keep in mind that sometimes (young) kids just ask questions to get a certain reaction out of you lol

Oh no, definitely do something as a parent, like lock some apps or something. But with stuff like social media it’s almost impossible to keep your kids away from it, especially without government intervention. Pretty sure some kids nowadays also just get bullied into using social media, even if they’re not interested in it. I mean, kids get bullied over not having any Fortnite skins…

Lol, good luck trying to control everything around your child and what it consumes as a parent. Pretty much impossible, especially nowadays.

I’ve seen quite a few commies on Lemmy. Just saying.

Is there anyone here who’s worked as an engineer for Google, by chance? I’d honestly like to know about their work culture and how they would deal with stuff like this internally. Like, are the line managers understanding, or are they just screaming at their employees if shit hits the fan?

Yeah, I used to work for a company like that. It sucked.

The only thing he could lose is only a few important brain functions, if something truly does go wrong. Nothing major. /s
