Anon goes to Japan
The most unrealistic thing about this post is the idea that you might drop a GBA and break it's screen. Those things were practically indestructible.

Aside from his money, he is also politically important now. I think that protects him more than anything else now. But he bought political importance with his money, so it's related.

A Very Normal Interaction
I know a university professor who has had this kind of interaction with a student who claimed that they had graded an exam wrongly because ChatGPT gave a different answer. The STUDENT called the PROFESSOR a liar because AI gave a different answer...

Aaaand it's impossible to buy in the US. Even if USians want to do the right thing, we're not permitted.

As usual, I fear for the reasonable manager's job.
Reasonable managers usually get plowed out of the way by unreasonable C levels who just see their reasonable concerns as obstructions.

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?
Parent here ✋
I don't do this, and I think it's a shame that some parents do. But I also don't want to jump the gun and blame the parents.
Parenting is hard! Kids are burdensome! That is kind of the point.
But also, parents cannot be on 100% of the time. "Good Parenting" is a privilege for those with the capacity to not be completely exhausted by just surviving day to day with a family.
So I don't 100% blame the parents. Sure, some parents just shouldn't be, but you often don't know that as a parent until it's too late. Sometimes parents make bad decisions, but it's usually due to external pressures.
Which brings me to who I do blame: the corporations and other orgs putting AI out there as an option for parents and kids when it really shouldn't be.
This is like marketing cigarettes to kids.
I also blame health orgs for not standing up and yelling "this is harmful!". At pediatric checkups, they ask questions about exercise, screen time, and other health related activities. If the answer raises a red flag you are given literature about it. The same should be true with pediatric AI use.

Actually my understanding is that in Japan and other cultures, right hand side start menu has been the standard preference. It's amazing to me that that cultural preference even has been ignored.
