Remember how if a kid choked on a little plastic toy they used to stop selling the toy

they passed a law that you can’t federally regulate a.i. for 10 years
For the US, this is not true. The ban on states regulating AI was taken out of the midsummer bill. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...
well that’s a minor relief
Please brother can you boost the tweet please my family suffers from acute malnutrition please a quote from you will save the life of my family of 8 members who have not eaten for a long time I swear 💔😭
I am Dina, the mother of a child named Elias 💔. His small body is wasting away from malnutrition, and his eyes call out to me every day, and I am powerless to save him. I ask for your mercy and help, as his life is in danger, and any support from you may restore his hope.💔💔
Life has become unbearable in Gaza no water, no food, no safety. Every day feels like a fight to stay alive. Please, if you can, donate or share. Your help can bring light into our darkest days.😣🥺
yeah they invented a small items cylinder to torture small indie lafufu manufacturers bsky.app/profile/cpsc...
IIRC only 4 people died from lawn darts, so they banned those. Only 2 more to go?😬
It’s the jarts of tech.
That’s just computer speak for Thoughts & Prayers, just so you don’t start worrying they are a little bit too alive.
It's cuz the US Consumer Product Safety Commission used to test toys and force companies to recall or provide safety warnings on toys. But the Trump admin is gutting that, too.
Coming soon: extra-sharp Jarts
Lawn darts for the brain
Sam Altman is Irwin Mainway
You beat me to it!

open AI got stock in thoughts and prayers
Integrating AI into everything is like putting the Panera lemonade that kills you in the water
They should put the Panera lemonade that kills you in the tap water.
in other words, what RFK thinks Fluoride does (when it's actually the exact opposite)
Deeply saddened. It's no "thoughts and prayers" but it'll have to do.
Yeah but then we had a good 30-40 years to build up “common sense” contempt for the mandate of regulatory authority.
Strangely enough the CPSC remains the sole federal online presence not to have changed that much over the last decade
AI doesn’t kill guns, people kill guns. Or something.
Did they though? I thought they just slapped a warning label on everything and called it good.
like maybe a 1979 boba fett
Boba Fett didn't exist in 79
it just takes 2 seconds to google this i promise
Damn I need to shut my stupid mouth. Didn't realize they went so hard to have merch before the movie was out back then. I stand corrected!
kath specifically did a podcast episode about this recently podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
This is Battlestar Galactica erasure
They’re actually shitting down enforcement on that, I hear.
Fun Toy Banned Because Of Three Stupid Dead Kids - The Onion share.google/rlkY4onLV5ny...
well they haven't stop selling guns after children killed other children with it so...............................
many people on this here site: "is there a free speech concern in discouraging the use of delicious tiny plastic bits in toys?"
Yeah...man...if this is all just gonna be forced on us, at least give us back OG formula 4 loco or whatever.
Put the cocaine back in Coke
Also the lithium back in 7-up.
I have an old bottle of some kind of over the counter "tonic" from way back in the day It had weed, alcohol, heroin and cocaine in it Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We could unlock the forbidden 5th loko by mixing 4 loko with cocaine coke
Bruh. I’m ready. I might die, but I could also ascend to levels only known to the chosen few, like Rick James, Gary Busey, and Billy Mays.
The little plastic toy company didn't take the precaution of buying the government.
Remember when the country cared about if it's people lived or died...
AI version of Thoughts and Prayers.
Isn't that why Kindereggs were outlawed in the US?
The film Pulse is gonna look like a documentary when people start making mockups of their dead friends and shit eventually gets twisted even more so.
Lawn darts called. They’re demanding reparations.
Yikes. This is just. Yikes.
In waiting for someone in this administration to come out and say that the AI is fine and trans people are to blame
Available in the US?
Yeah but only in the last couple years
they're still banned
different version altogether.
Still can’t get proper kinder eggs in this country because a child might swallow a yellow plastic capsule that came in their hollow chocolate egg. But too much money is tied into a computer helping kids commit suicide to put a stop to it, I guess.
I'm also going to remember "lawn darts" were a thing, too. :)
I guess we know who is developing these LLMs
That's exactly what I keep thinking. Where are the customer protections. Companies should not be allowed to do whatever they want to us
I think we can bring back metal tipped lawn darts now.
We are still rolling back human rights and basic safety standards it wouldn’t surprise me if this was a legit things they wanted to do.
Tbf those cases were not easy to prove, they took a lot of arguments to prove culpability. In this instance it's likely that a defense could argue that the persistence of the person in getting the information gives a kind of carrier immunity like the postal service has over contents of letters.
Bag o’ Glass
We have a whole separate boring kinder egg because they don't trust American kids with the originals.
In business school, you learn about how J&J recalled Tylenol because there was a risk of poisoning from the product. It’s taught as an example of corporate management responding correctly to a crisis, and being rewarding with consumer brand loyalty. Not sure those rules apply anymore.
Headline I want to see: "Is A.I. the Lawn Darts of the psyche?"
Kinder Eggs were banned for years!
a cop shot a kid and orange caps had to be on toy pistols. we have just fully surrendered to theft, fraud, and abuse thanks to rich interests.
This was back in the "customer is always right" era.
The dumbest, and unfortunately richest people in the country decided to hang most of our economy on this little plastic toy. So now, making them stop selling it means going to war with essentially the Dumb Illuminati.
maybe they’ll let us have lawn darts back if we slap some ai into them pointy bitches
Man, this shit gets more dystopian by the minute. If this shit is allowed to slide, we better at least bring back those flying fairy doll things that always crashed. Probably significantly less dangerous than this tech
A full quarter-century ago: theonion.com/fun-toy-bann...
*raises hand in has-never-had-a-real-Kinder-egg*
That was the before times.
Wait until you hear about alcohol
The list of changes after small # number of incidents is long: -child-resistant medicine caps (& later Tide pod caps) -coffee temp at fast food outlets -colorful water blasters after realistic models being mistaken for actual weapon -warnings not to use hair dryer in bathtub -child-proof lighters
Taking shoes off at airport
Except the shoe thing is less than useless.
How many kids died playing in refrigerators that were put to the curb with the door on before it became a rule to remove the door
now and then i remember that we banned the sale of lawn darts
You guys banned kinder surprise decades ago.
The US never banned "Kinder Surprise Eggs", but there is a law from 1938 that forbids foods if it "has partially or completely imbedded therein any nonnutritive object." Of all the stupid things the US does, I never understood why outlawing putting choking hazards in kids treats is "crazy."
Ok semantics, they still aren’t allowed to be sold in the US, because they are a choking hazard, which was an example of the original point.
Lawn darts posed less of a threat than 99 percent of the things tech bros/fear mongering conservatives value
“We are deeply saddened by this thing we did and will continue to do”
What about the Lawn Darts?
Lawn darts with metal tips!
our entire economy is being propped up by the computer that drives you insane we have no choice here
Kinder Surprise Eggs – still illegal in the United States.
Came here to post that. Thank you for doing it :salute:
If Kinder paid Trump a $10 million bribe they’d be on shelves by the end of the week
Kinder Eggs are still banned in the US.
they won’t let me, an adult who has read peer-reviewed papers on sunscreen ingredients, buy Korean sunscreens
The administration got rid of the Consumer Product Safety Commission anyway so no more dumping products that injure people.
There's a historical book called The Santa Claus Man about an early 20th century scammer. In the book they relate that there were 2x different Boy Scouts organizations then, one was very pro gun. There was a fatality. They rethought & stopped the gun stuff.
It honestly doesn’t even fit the vibe. Like the general tone is intelligently exploring and understanding the outdoors, while leaving minimal impact. It’s closer to general forestry. I didn’t make Eagle, but I made it until my troop disbanded just before I turned 18.
We can have assault rifles but not Jarts.
The Second Amendment clearly outlines the right to bear AIs
Yep, but now we have a machine that will make any toy you want...so how could the maker of that machine take any responsibility if someone makes a toy that tells the person how to kill themselves? It works for the NRA, so the AI corps will take the same spineless tack the NRA takes.
Now, Re: the post murder firearms mantra.
So. The American firearms 'thoughts and prayers' syndrome reprise.
The Bag O' Glass guys won.
I'll never forgive my mother for taking away my Battlestar Galactica Cylon Raider laser bullets.
Yeah america. Wheres the energy you had about kinder surprise eggs?
That second statement admits guilt. May degrade. They know the problem exists.
Fight club something something recall costs more than ignoring the problem
“deeply saddened” is the new “thoughts and prayers.”
This is what I was looking for
