AskReddit, being the best comparison I can make, had a lot of questions with an established theme. Usually along the lines of asking Redditors what they thought or experienced around some topic.
AskLemmy on the other hand never really established a particular culture, and not everyone here necessarily came from Reddit. So instead, it's become more of a community for general, genuine questions, rather than one seeking subjective experience or thoughts.
I'm glad this comment section seems to agree that some fault lies on the game companies, too. I get it that parents gotta also parent, but when games are hiring behavior/psychology experts to design their games to become addictive and suck in people's money as effectively as possible.. adults struggle enough with resisting gaming addiction, let alone kids.
I know a guy that spent all of his free time, and on average $2,000 a month, on Genshin Impact.

But how the hell are they saying “forced” to do something by some scumbag over the internet?
There was a group from Brazil doing stuff like that and got publicized when they were arrested recently. Usually they'd coerce the minor into sending one picture, then use it as blackmail against them to give them more. They might even gaslight them to convince them that they'll get in big trouble if they tell anyone and it'll just get worse for them.
I've seen full fledged adults taken hard by scammers and willingly giving them thousands of dollars against their own interests, and they heavily distrust and resist anyone trying to help them. I can only imagine accomplishing that with a child that lacks long term thinking skills is even more effective.
We've had an answer since the Internet was created: don't let kids have unsupervised access to it.
Instead we give toddlers tablets before they can read.
It's inconsequential anyway. This bill was never really about kids in the first place.
Sir, do you have a license for that power drill?
If I had to guess, they're probably not doing it just because they want to. It's entirely possible they got a threat letter from one or more publications about the topic and are doing it to avoid litigation. Or they're afraid that they could face litigation if they don't take action.
We shouldn't assume ill intent unless there's something to substantiate it.
Additional hot take: get a laser printer for your normal documents and just get photos printed somewhere else. The money you'd spend buying 4x6 photos on someone else's ink and paper would probably be less than you'll pay for color ink unless you're an absolute photo printing maniac. And a laser printer toner cartridge will last you like 1,000+ pages.
Companies have gotten broken up before, like AT&T once did many years ago. In this case, a Google breakup would probably separate some of their services into different companies. At the very least Google (the "advertising" company) should be separate from Chrome (the "browser" company), because it creates a conflict of interest and creates monopolistic behavior.
In any case, trying to do something is better than doing nothing and hoping it turns out all right.
I hate that people consider that to be the usual use case when referring to a deceased person. I'd say that says more about the people roasting than the poster.
If you can use human screening, you could ask about a recent event that didn't happen. This would cause a problem for LLMs attempting to answer, because their datasets aren't recent, so anything recent won't be well-refined. Further, they can hallucinate. So by asking about an event that didn't happen, you might get a hallucinated answer talking about details on something that didn't exist.
Tried it on ChatGPT GPT-4 with Bing and it failed the test, so any other LLM out there shouldn't stand a chance.
One of my favorite search ads that appeared in the mid 2000s happened when I was bored. I searched "grandpa" without any context just to see what would come up, because I really was that bored. One of the ads that appeared was one of those where they just shove your search in the title verbatim so someone not paying attention might think it was what they wanted.
It said something like "Looking for grandpa? Find great deals here!" I don't remember exactly what the second part said, but the "Looking for grandpa?" part made me bust out laughing. I then started searching other random stuff to try and get something equally stupid, but it didn't capture me quite the same way. Either way, my boredom was alleviated.
