Recently I was tasked with purchasing an AI tool for my organization. I did some research and found one company that takes a (somewhat) ethical stand on how its services can be used. That’s how it came to be that our organization now pays to use Claude.

My example is intended to highlight the point made that people will not use AI if it has restrictions. In our case, the restrictions and ethical position Anthropic takes on its Claude model is exactly why my organization invested in them.

Sooner or later a candidate is going to emerge and point out what their opponent has or has not done to help solve both the Ai and Social Media problems for those who are not adults. If this continues long enough, and there are enough victims, tech will lose out and big.

So that lobbying money, the $300,000,000...That could have fed 125,000 people!

No typo ! I'm assuming we feed the hand that feeds us and they want to eat here:

"SubliMotion in Ibiza, Spain, is widely considered the world's most expensive restaurant, featuring a 20-course tasting menu curated by Chef Paco Roncero that costs approximately €1,500–€1,640 ($1,700–$2,400+) per person."

$300,000,000÷$2400=125,000

My only concern remains, as ever, how age verification is actually handled.

There are certainly secure, reasonable ways to do it, but most of the big tech companies have defaulted to deeply low security third-party id verification, which has lead to a spike in id theft. We need a solution more thoughtful than id or face verification in an era where user data is so vulnerable.

Still, I‘m very much on board with properly regulating soc media (depending on our definition of it) and ai access.
