You may believe this, but the classification of what qualifies as 'social media' won't be up to you when you hand over this level of power to government. If Reddit is social media so is this site, they are literally the same thing.
Should it also be the Role of parents to prevent their children from being kidnapped by crime syndicates? Maybe we should also abolish schools because it should be the parent's role to educate their children.
This individualistic line of thinking is downright insane. It's preposterous. We live in a fucking society, no one can do anything on their own. For God's sake parent's shouldn't be expected to fight alone against MULTI-FUCKING TRILLION CORPORATIONS.
Fat load of help all that anti-regulation talk did when the current US Gov can just get all the data it wants from those megacorps.
Yeah let's also abolish laws preventing sale of tobacco and alcohol to children. This will surely lead to a prosperous national.
If you look at the longterm trend in government intrusion into our personal lives, you'll see it's largely increasing, so if anything, the cause of any "collapse" would be the opposite of what you're purporting.
> reads "talking to bots and other low value activities"
> translates it to "stop talking online"
The mental gymnastics to arrive at 2 is insane. Either you're being disingenuous or you actually believe everyone online is a bot in which case telling people to stop talking online is good.

I've called them Microshaft before, but given their whole pivot into AI (might be a stretch to call it that, but close enough), Microslop certainly feels like a good name.
... Yeah thise tests are probably garbage. The models probably covered the 80% that consists of boiler plate and mocked out the important 20% that was critical business logic. That's how it was in my experience.
In real Engineering disciplines the process is important, and is critical for achieving desired results, that's why there are manuals and guidelines measured in the hundreds of pages for things like driving a pile into dirt. There are rigorous testing procedures to enusre everything is correct and up to spec, because there are real consequences.
Software Developers have long been completely disconnected from the consequences of their work, and tech companies have diluted responsibility so much that working software doesn't matter anymore. This field is now mostly scams and bullshit, where developers are closer to finance bros than real, actual Engineers.
I'm not talking about what someone os building in their home for personal reasons for their own usage, but about giving the same thing to other people.
> no attempt is being made here to bring them back to their original, non-malicious shape.
Because it's impossible unless you ban for-profit social media. Naturally I'd support such a ban.
