In the golden era the care wasn't there. I didn't care someone said something offensive. You just kind of shrugged and moved on. It shouldn't be said but hey they did; report & ignore. That's why 4chan is 4chan, Encyclopaedia Dramatica et cetera.
Political correctness eventually tainted the internet as then if someone's values were hurt, drama would roll around only fuelling the troll further. This later led to gatekeeping and entitlement; Tumblr as example.
The internet has now made everyone so sensitive and now
most want to broadcast their feels upon social media or whatever, you end up with elitism of groups and communities who think they know best.
It's not fragility. Children are very adaptive and keen learners. Leading them to be easily conditioned and flipped.
Naivety is a learning mechanism which is part of human psychology and sociology of living. Where if the wrong conditions are brought to the child at a young age; it won't affect them in their now. The repercussions from the negative conditioning does surface later yet having a detrimental effect later on in their life.
I walk home from work and see toddlers with tablets, a digital nanny while the parents push the stroller as they tap on their own phone themselves. It's unlikely they know what content they're watching.
That is however the prime time where they should be interacting with their child. The child is observing everything around them and you should be engaging there observations.
The current and upcoming generations that grew up with a device in hands are now are discovering that they have range of issues from anxiety, trauma, even disassociation. Attention spans are at a whole new low and AI is exploiting that.
We have no idea nor studies how AI will affect children and if we are already starting to see that constant exposure on mature adults causes "Ai psychosis". How will it be any better for children?
It's not necessarily wrong and could be seen as exciting in many ways. It could reach the child in ways that traditional education does not because teaching is subjective. Some children are academic, some are practical, some are both.
With the unmediated push of current AI, Tablets with AI and negative environmental values; it is going to be horrifically damaging for the child later on in life.
All it takes is a toddler to press a button that spawns Ai to peddle misinformation via enhanced subliminal visuals and sounds as evidenced by current younger generations.
It's no fault of their own and you could argue that all devices have the same effect however the earlier were more tightly mediated for which you could turn off.
The community is what makes the language. If the community is toxic, than the language becomes toxic.
One stinks the other even if it's the shiniest plate in the cake shop. My first thought to starting a project in the programming language is, will my question end up with a lynch mob?
I'll give high praise to the Lazarus community. Members went out to demonstrate and constructed me alternatives when I was new to Pascal. Meanwhile, the Python community you end up with folk foaming at the mouth.
Microsoft dragged their heels hard when Firefox 3 came to the scene. IE6 was the browser at the time. Chrome was a concept and Opera at least pushed to keep up but surrendered and went to Chrome.
