Eventually @andyburnham @10DowningStreet must choose whether he wants British children online to be “safe” or “educated”, ‘coz we can’t have “both”

This, attached below, is an inevitability.

The UK Government strove for years to foster “tech” capability in British childen, and — although the “safety” community will push this as a “platform” responsibility — either we’re going to have to leave the kids ignorant of tech, or-else they will be coding-up their own VPNs & other circumventions whilst we continue to blame “the tech” rather than “the society” for the risks that they face.

Responses to Your Next Observation

  • Banning childrens’ access to AI is just another form of “the ability to code is dangerous and must be suppressed amongst the youth” which leaves kids ignorant and unemployable
  • Calling this a “platform problem” (blame billionaires, etc) ignores that kids will just use foreign platforms instead, not to mention “build their own
  • AIs can’t be magically prevented from working on “circumvention” because “circumvention” is the same as “accessing my home computer when I’m on holiday
