That's nuts.

Isn't easier to understand something backawards? It seems much simpler to understand something once you already have the solution.

How so?

The current consensus is that the effects of social media on mental health are in between minimally detrimental to non-existent.

Expensive and Google doesn't even have enough resources to decently deploy a model like that. Creating 10 images in parallel gives me RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error, which is a painfully common error when using Google AI products.

I think it's pretty safe to assume they are not losing money on inference.

> Pretty much every person in every culture cares deeply about their children.

I would substitute "deeply" for "superficially". Like, if my parents found some way to prohibit porn when I was an adolescent, I wouldn't say they cared deeply about me. I would say they were misguided and authoritary. The "care deeply" idea you are putting forward is just trying to distil whatever societal norm currently is into the youngs.

Companies who could see it clearly and ignored the "AI is a bubble duh" crowd will ultimately get benefited by the GPUs they already acquired. The companies who acted cautiously will get burned.

Hi HN, I’m Rodrigo. I’m a software engineer working at the intersection of applied ML and scalable systems. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with solving the "context window" problem through graph-based knowledge representations. My recent work focuses on treating graphs not just as data stores, but as a method for information compression and long-term memory permanence in AI agents. I develop pipelines that integrate LLMs with structured memory to allow for more efficient knowledge generalization and recall.

Key areas of expertise:

1. AI Memory Architectures: Building persistent, graph-oriented systems for reasoning and long-term retrieval.

2. ML Systems Engineering: Developing TTS systems, semantic search tools, and RAG pipelines that go beyond simple vector lookups.

3. Full-Stack Foundations: Bridging the gap between a PyTorch model and a production-ready Svelte/React interface, backed by robust Linux/Postgres infrastructure.

I’m looking for a role where I can contribute to the "Next Step" of LLM integration—moving past simple chat interfaces toward systems with true persistent memory and structured reasoning.

I like you.

Last time I checked there's no scientific consensus if social media causes harm at all. The best studies found null or very small effects. So yeah, I am skeptical it is harmful.

I have no idea where this idea that Internet is toxic to children is coming from. Is that some type of moral panic? Weren't most of you guys children/adolescents during the 2000's?

The equivalence of emotions to reward functions seem pretty obvious to me. Emotions are what compel us to act in the environment.
