IMHO, this feels like another wave of nannyism that follows after a new technology matures. Being a 90s kid, discovering porn, violence, warez were all normal part of growing up that I don't think has had any negative impact nor do the puritan panic about pornography.

Matter of fact the internet started speedrunning censorship and monopolization post 9/11 without much of a fight and I think this triggered the default in people to just shrug and seek other ways to access and share data.

It's as ridiculous as suggesting Bittorrent is harmful for kids because of its unrestricted limitless amount of data. What's more harmful is preventing discovering adaptation and self-balancing on their own in the face of endless entertainment wish diminishing value.

There's just so many things outside internet and smartphones that even adults struggle to balance, the last thing I think kids need are adults taking away that trial by fire and allowing themselves to develop their own sense of moderation.

still not sure what the value add is here

This might be unpopular opinion but it really isn't as big of a deal as OpenAI makes it out to be (like their previous announcements)

The truth is, I haven't used ChatGPT at all since spring of this year. Claude's Sonnet 3.5 has replaced it. I pay very little attention to what OpenAI releases and simply waits for Anthropic to implement it.

I also started using Gemini which already outperforms perplexity and this and will not switch.

I think everybody is constantly caught up with their infatuation with OpenAI and other characters that they don't realize Google, Anthropic are actually building a moat which some like Gary Marcus keeps rambling on as impossible

I'm a realist and I can see that while Google has been slower to start, it reminds me of the search engine wars of 2000s, it is dominating and winning over users.
