This is my (kinda new 😂) Walkman… And yes: this time I can really call it Walkman, cause this one actually is a Sony!

It‘s a WM 32 from somewhen 1986 and 89, so it‘s the most basic model by Sony, like no Radio, no Auto-Reverse or any other funny extras. But — that‘s still great: cause everything it doesn’t have…. can‘t break, and come on — it just looks great.

It also came with a belt-clip so I can actually wear it as part of my outfit, I’m literally so excited 🤣😁😁

While I generally think claims about how much damage AI infrastructure does regarding energy and water usage tend to be overblown on this site, Google's AI implementation is one exception where it fully deserves to be clowned on for its wasteful uselessness. The "one ChatGPT prompt uses 5x the energy of a Google search" is not that scary to think about when you consider the context and scale behind what that statement means. By comparison, Google shoehorning AI into its search engine means it is quintupling the energy cost of said Google search, with no appreciable benefit to justify said massive cost increase. That Google's AI product rollout was almost certainly done purely to satisfy trend-chasing investors, with no real use-case, makes the move all the more despicable.

If you're following KOSA, you should also be following state legislation, which is much more rapidly adopting tech regulation related to child safety than Congress. For reference, in 2023, 13 states adopted 23 laws related to child safety online.

Even if your locality hasn't adopted similar tech regulation, online platforms, apps, and websites are rarely operating in only some states. When regulations become patchwork, it's often easier for companies to adopt policies reflective of the most stringent regulations relevant to their service for all users, rather than try to implement different policies for users based on each user's location.

I know this because that's what happened when patchwork data privacy regulations began swelling — which is why many webites have privacy policies reflective of the GDPR that apply even to users outside of Europe. I also know this because I'm a tech lawyer — I'm the wet cat drafting policies for and advising tech and video game companies on how to navigate messy, convoluted, and patchwork US regulatory obligations.

So, when I say this is how companies are thinking about this, I mean this is how my coworkers and I have to think about this. And because the US is such a large market, this could impact users outside the US, too.

I should update my site and write a piece about AI because I have a lot of thoughts that boil down to You keep on using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means
