I think that we get stuck too much on how it works. We need to step back and ask ourselves what we are trying to explain.

The goal here is to have them try out a new social media. The media looks, feels and behaves like twitter. So the only explanation needed is “it’s like twitter”

You can then add what differentiate it from twitter “it’s open source” “it’s not controlled by big tech” “there are no ads” “it’s good a blocking nazi content (ymmv)”

IMHO advertising the decentralized “like email” nature of mastodon as a starting point is counter productive.

Won’t that cause true economic chaos? There already is more music than one can listen to in their lifetime. You’ll never have to listen to the same track again if you chose so. That is true before AI comes in. So how to you chose what to listen to? Where do you put value in music?

AI is just going to devalue music and art in general. Flood these industries in a race to the bottom.

I have created a machine

It can know all your secrets

I will sell your own secrets back to you

Because I own my machine and it now owns you too

Well they could do it the right way where, for example, you go to your city hall to get a certificate of age where they check your ID. Then some cryptography happens so you only enter a public key from that certificate on a website or OS to verify your age.

The website or OS doesn’t check your ID. City hall doesn’t know your browsing history.

But I’m not fooling myself, that’s not the point of such a law.

What is this argument? You and I both know they want this age verification at the OS level for personal computing devices: phones, tablets and computers, maybe watches.

Is this really what’s going to kill this law? Semantics?

I mean we’re not going to explain bottom shaming to the Turkish military but the bottom does not have to be sub. Dom bottom is absolutely a thing.

We’re lucky to see the edge of the game right? If it’s truly infinite, aren’t we more likely to play anywhere but near the one edge?

Listen my dude it’s a two way street. You look decent so what about I drop off one kid at the fire station and we go from there? I’m sure you’ll get to love little Timmy.

I’m thinking of a scenario of a dying family member and not being able to make it to them before they pass away.

Flying isn’t just for business or tourism. But at the same time, people have had the luxury to be able to live far in distance from their families and friends, because it might just be a short flight away.

In California, I’ve heard of people working in Silicon Valley and living in Burbank, flying every day to go to work or maybe twice a week.

That luxury needs to stop. But it should not happen all of a sudden.
