This coming from a government that has been collecting citizens data since about 2002 via the DHS and using facile book and twitter, and others to do so. Hypocrites.

Schumer has said that any eventual regulation should “prevent potentially catastrophic damage to our country while simultaneously making sure the U.S. advances and leads in this transformative technology.”

Legislators are of course behind the curve when faced with the exponential growth of transformer LLM.

Giving people control of their data and making it work for them to fund a UBI is one such proposal looking to the future.

The legislators who do not have a good grasp of the technologies should probably focus on addressing the socioeconomic disruptions it is bringing.

Users should be able to make up their own minds as to whether they use software or not. It should not be censored by government. Parents should regularly check their kid's devices for apps they don't want them to use. As for the suicide issue, kids die in gun crime and RTAs in the US regularly, but they aren't banning guns or kids travelling in cars.

It would be relatively easy to develop kid's devices with firmware that only permits limited whitelisted content, allowing parents to ban them completely from the rest of the internet by forbidding access to what would become 'adult' devices by default - ordinary smartphones. A more workable solution for all concerned. When they hit the age of majority, they can own and use a smartphone.

This has absolutely nothing to do with protecting the children. More about the government legislating to force an end to end-to-end encryption and introduce client side scanning. And the government appointed commission will be unelected, by the way.
