Kids will go to School V2 and have absolutely nothing in common to talk about because each one will have completely unique media entertainment at home.
It's certainly something that has people worried. I suspect a population decline and unbalanced demographics with too many old people per working age person are pretty much guaranteed. But personally I don't think it will be catastrophic civilisation level collapse. But at some point things will rebalance and turn the other way as resources, housing and such become more abundant.
I'm also hopeful we sort out the problems with big tech eventually. I was initially against it, but I'm starting to think Australia's plan to ban under 16s from social media is actually a very good idea.
As a parent of pre and actual teens, this isn't "becoming", it is the de facto standard. Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite are our kids' third place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place
But if the marketing fueling the industry is to be believed, every parent will be able to build a tailor-made game for their child. I know that won’t really how it’ll turn out but it’s a funny exercise to think about.
This is already the case with the myriad of streaming services and choices of what people will let their kids watch or not. With my little kids, we tend to mostly watch PBS Kids content with a bit of Disney shows mixed in when it comes to screen time. We try to avoid seemingly empty hyper-stimulating content like Paw Patrol and others. But in the end a lot of the other kids in school/daycare talk about these shows and others, which can lead to the kids not having that kind of shared context. For instance, my four year old loves Wild Kratts, but practically nobody in his class knows the show. Meanwhile, he doesn't have any context for the various characters of Paw Patrol.
Assuming you have to generate new content for each viewer second watched yes it won't pencil out. But if you have a library of tons of content you can keep building out...

They can just sit in the corner with their meta glasses and talk to their LLM friends.
I wonder if it will lead to q civilizational collapse because kids V2 won't have kids. Even today's young adults barely have any kids.

Don't worry, they will always have new Minecraft mobs and biomes to discuss.
Interesting idea, online gaming becoming the de facto new societal community meeting space.

Until games also become uniquely generative in realtime
For multiplayer games, I'm not sure that would be a detriment to the experience in any way.
Procedural generation is a known quantity in gaming, with well-explored pros and cons.

The Torment Nexus is a Skinner box
Just imagine when uncensored models this good can generate porn.
It's far from sustainable (for now)

I hate to be right sometimes (got downvoted back in 2023)

not really. AI porn will never take off because ppl want to see a real person.
