Quite of a bad idea to put a complete ban like that.
Meanwhile in China they are doing the opposite [0] an are not imposing a complete ban (except for unsupervised use of generative AI).
Children are required to have adult supervision to use AI chatbots for the purpose of learning the skills that require understanding AI systems and programming them or assisted-leaning in STEM subjects.
You're making the mistake of comparing a possible future for the present. This is like the most common mistake people in tech make when it comes to education. I've seen it for >15 years and built a whole edtech news organization to try to educate engineers about this kind of fallacy.
The NYC policy is for this school year (now). The link you provide begins with "China aims to build". Not "China is deploying to one of their largest school systems". If its referring to this policy [1], that's a plan for 2035. Apples and oranges.

Looks like OpenAI is already having issues with this release and are scrambling to get everything ready due to the recent outage ahead of the press releases. Leads me to question:
Did humans deploy the model, Or did the model deploy itself?
It sounds like "AGI" just stands for "IPO" as it always has been.
EDIT: And of course once again, the bots down-voting this post without any reason or a basic answer to my question.
Do we need another migration guide for Stripe since the CEO personally donated to Omarchy and then tell everyone to stop using Stripe and all of their services?
Huh, I guess TIL there is a controversy around Omarchy. I generally dismissed it as a serious distro after 5 second once realized it encourages using the AUR as your default package feed. The AUR is useful, but to me it’s something to be very aware of when you’re installing some software. Encouraging people to install everything through it is a crazy way to configure a distro. I just assumed it’s a distro for a very different target audience so kept my thoughts to myself
It's not really around Omarchy, but around DHH due to his political beliefs. I'm not deep into this, but I think the majority of the controversy stems from this article:
Wow. I just read this one now, and DHH really makes it hard to defend him. It's definitely possible to make this argument without likening groups of people to wolves and sheep...
> Cue the gypsies in Copenhagen, and their increasingly brazen behavior, after the city legalized overnight sleeping in parks and other green areas last year. Because "it shouldn't be illegal to be homeless" ...
> This has predictably led to these foreign vagrants setting up camp ...
> Copenhagen is the Danish capital. It's repeatedly been named the safest city in the world in recent years. Partly because it didn't tolerate vagrants ...
It would be easier to ask how this is a normal way of speaking? Gypsies is already a derogatory word, vagrant implies something criminal rather than cultural about their behaviours, and he's making an issue of them not being local vagrants (what?). The decisions he's incredulous about came about democratically and the debates involved were carried out by public representatives and are publicly actually. The incredulity is just rhetoric and the implication that they're dangerous because they're foreign or live transiently surely has no place in a modern society.
> When wolves get out of control, you shoot them.
How is this in any way a non-extreme metaphor to use?
You see nothing extreme with dehumanizing a group of people and comparing them to wolfs being killed?
> When wolves get out of control, you shoot them.
There isn’t more extreme than that. If you think that’s a normal way of talking about humans, I’m sorry but you’re very far down a radicalization rabbit hole
“Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end.”
A migration guide for all the services that funded Omarchy would be nice which the alternative must not do business with another service. (E.g, Alternative A to Cloudflare must not use Stripe, or Alternative B to Shopify must not use Cloudflare or Dell)
They must be completely independent services that is an alternative to any of the companies that funded Omarchy.
Maybe you should tell Anthropic to not use Cloudflare or Stripe in their services, since they are in-directly funding Omarchy and move to some alternatives.
Given the rapid attention to Omarchy and DHH, its quite an urgent matter...
Correct. This orange site has evidently gone under AI psychosis especially in model release posts and is overrun by AI bots, paid influencers and even small creeping signs of crypto pumpfun scams [0].
Even making a tiny joke is too much [1] for some.
> They will censor comments like yours and my reply here because we call it out.
Don't bother calling it out, it does not work. There are protected accounts where the guidelines don't apply to them and moderators allow this and ban others who do the same thing. [2]
DHH is marketing his Linux distro. He was willing to help the Arch Linux community and reached out to the AUR maintainers who were struggling. They said no.
So they are building their own distro, package repositories and now everyone is upset about that, even with the funding?
I don't really care about Omarchy, but if you think it is worth getting annoyed about it, maybe you should ignore it?
It's just a distro. What is disrespectful about the freedom to build your own distro?
Such stances are very easy to make when there is no financial incentive or no competition with any meaningful money on the line. But as soon as there is competition, they don't care about "AI policies" if it is the means to make a lot of money.
The best example of this is security in open source software which maintainers have no choice but to use AI to protect themselves before an attacker can use AI to find and build exploits for security vulnerabilities faster than they can patch it.
In some sectors such as banking, crypto, defense and government, this is extremely critical. It will soon be the same with AI companies who have the AI model and someone could use AI to breach them with the goal of leaking the proprietary model.
So to them, policies like this, are actually a downgrade that they cannot afford to do.
I'm sorry, but what on earth are you talking about? This guy appears to be a web designer. You think there's no competition in that space and no incentive to churn things out fast with AI? Agree or disagree but if he's honest his money is very much where his mouth is.
> I'm sorry, but what on earth are you talking about? This guy appears to be a web designer.
The criticality of a web designer is quite vanishingly low with not that much money on the line. That's why his former customers are going for a $20 Lovable subscription instead of his web designer services.
It is fair to say he has been disrupted.
> You think there's no competition in that space and no incentive to churn things out fast with AI?
There is little to no money in being a human web designer (without AI) in 2026. He is taking a stance in never using AI which he is being out-competed by ultra-low cost AI subscriptions like Lovable, Bolt.new, and the others.
I… yes. That’s a reasonable interpretation of the current state of the world even if I reject the “no choice” framing. But you’re the one calling his stance “easy”?
The problem is that it is the market that believes it is now "easy" and it does not care about these policies.
Unless the author believes he can compete for customers without using AI against the AI subscription services for 1/100th of the price per month of a human web designer.
