In your opinion, do you buy into the panic about AI eliminating humanity or potentially disrupting and taking down the internet? Is this a marketing ploy?Give me your best thoughts on this most recent call for AI slowdown.
100% for it. If we're being honest, social media has run completely out of control and children shouldn't have the burden of understanding how to keep themselves safe. Social media companies aren't doing enough to protect those who can't protect themselves. Next, find a way to fix all the online scamming.
Frankly I really do fear an era of the AI getting out of their guardrails and deliberately breaking the internet. The issue however is, why don't the Frontier companies create these guardrails themselves? It seems like a relatively simple thing to explore, so this just seems too weird to me.
If we're speaking strictly on Cost and your ROI, Cloudflare is pretty much unmatched.
100% agree, I know I used to drop my bus passes all the time when I was kid. This could help a lot
