Most videogames don't do anything to segregate kids from adults (or make sure things stay kid appropriate) and don't really make the space with kids in mind. They make the space with revenue in mind.
Most videogames, especially with voice chat, you might get an 8 year old saying this is his first time alongside a crochety neckbeard screaming about banging that kids mother
There's a place for both. Some kids literally can't go run outside, should have a space for them too.
The problem is it doesn't matter where, virtual or physical, the spaces have been paved over or you get the cops called on your for letting your kids pay outside. The argument that kids should have spaces made with them in mind still stands
I've read that they've rechalked it more than once and are going to repaint it
It's absolutely possible if you're abusing it recreationally, especially if you start mixing it with who knows what else. The biggest risk is respiratory system just shutting off.
That's just an OD though, long term abuse like it's suspected by many that Musk is doing has a whole host of nasty symptoms that you can look up yourself.
I dunno, the whole body transmutation thing and the Lazarus thing? I think there's an argument to be made he was necromancer or lich.
I feel like we could find ways and tools to help in that situation without stealing the entirety of human knowledge, boiling our planet, and spending a small nation's GDP. Like better code library discovery or a better mentor environment amongst coders.
I've also seen plenty of people get pointed in the exact wrong way to do things by leaning on generative AI and then have to spend even more time getting back on track.
Not even 25% of the GDP of the top ten nations. Seems like a much more worthy spend imo. Like all these billionaires want a dick measuring contest, let's see who can come up with the coolest carbon neutral tech, let's see which billionaire can fund the biggest national park or something.
My wife and I dream about building a zero carbon home. Solar roof, mass timber, carbon neutral cement, more environmental based temp systems like an actual thought about air flow. That or starting a commune in Scotland when the world collapses.
As far as I'm aware that was "only" 500 Billion with a 'B' in project Stargate, not the Trillions with a 'T' that Altman was talking about.
I do think it's all a shell game and a fragile house of cards of tech brohaha. Really hoping the "We're in a bubble" comment from him is the start of that house crumbling
You dropped a few of these -> "0"
Sam Altman has been talking about planning to spend trillions on just the data centers, let alone everything else that goes into creating their slop machines.
Some of us are very happy with our current headphones and don't want new ones. Plus as others said the charging thing.
It's recent on a relative scale but ancient news in the technology world. They've been disappearing since Apple started it in like 2016.
There were plenty of old collaborative and encouraging spaces even from the very early days. The message boards and forums were full of helpful and supportive people wanting to relax and just talk about their interests.
