Maybe I'm just over-hopeful, but I think "generations" is far too much of an over~~under~~statement. With the way that technology moves, I don't think we'll be waiting that long.

If I have to pass a yearly exam to prove that I am not in some form of cognitive decline just to have the same rule apply to every other person, including politicians, then I'm all for it. Same goes for driver's licenses. My grandmother, who is 91, just renewed last year. She told me over the phone, "This will probably be the last time I ever have to do that," and I just thought, "I sure fucking hope so." I'm not against older people doing what they want to do, but reality and safety have to come into play at some point. People break down as they age. I'm dealing with it now, and I will continue as I get older. I have no illusions about it. The feeling that you are entitled to whatever you want regardless of the safety of others is something that we as humans need to drop, or it's gonna be the end of us, as evidenced by the current state of politics.
People that say that have never used AI art generation apps and are only regurgitating what they hear from other people who are doing the same. The amount of arm chair AI denialists is astronomical.
I'm getting really close to just not using the internet anymore. I only use it to stream movies, and doom scroll lemmy right now, anyway. The only reason I have an email is for spam. Take awake the only facade of privacy I have and I may as well hang it all up and walk away.
Let's sprinkle some crack on him and get out of here.
I've seen that roo in ever dive bar I've ever been to.
