I find myself far more irritated by these assheaded age gating attempts than I am by even the sloppiest of ai slop.

I paid for my computers. I own them. I will decide what they do and don’t do.

@mos_8502 Me too. But it's worth noting that the people writing the age gating PRs are also AI pushers, and the projects accepting the age gating PRs have also adopted policies accepting AI slop.

@dalias @mos_8502 I have to admit I don't see the connection there.

[tootbrute@fedi.arkadi.one]

@mos_8502 agreed. if people want to fry their brain with AI, whatever but stay away from our computers.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@hatzka @mos_8502 Regardless of whether you see a reason for it to be that way, it's the facts about the people & projects that have done this.

@mos_8502@studio8502.ca you just gave me a thought that should have been obvious: it's not the computer that kids need protection from – it's the very big tech and big brother who want to know their age; in other words: whoever claims the need to verify the age is (at least part) of the danger.
