Re:Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school on Friday June 19, 2026 @12:06PM (#48600122)
Surprised to read this as Norway also has Sikt AI for schools, where teachers can monitor how AI systems are used. Seems like it has both embraced AI and banned it.
In Australia, kids aren't allowed to have YouTube accounts anymore, which means that they'll get served this generic lineup of shorts described in this article. 33% brain rot....I wonder if kids will see more and more brainrot since the algorithm doesn't know anything about them. Tabula rasa.

Some are projects that have a changing variable over a long period of time (Framingham Heart Study, E. coli long-term evolution experiment) or strive to exist a long time (Clock of the Long Now). I would argue that these projects -- their process, data collection methods, and goals -- may have been developed quickly, in a short amount of time. Their longevity is proof that the original project was well established. But the same could be said of the invention of the wheel, shoe, sliced bread, etc

Our actual decision was to ask them to send in a video introduction before we schedule a phone screen with one of our engineers.
