To me it means: the kids are healthy and secure, and coping with the world with a reasonable prospect of a good future. But I agree that it's a good thing that they aren't entirely duped by the abusers of AI, if that's what you mean.

AI is just one of several serious existential threats the kids will have to deal with. They're far from alright.
Liability means very little in the context of networks of limited liability companies.
I get the 404 error on this page and with most links to removepaywalls.com. Disabling uBlock doesn't help.
Most software companies I dealt with didn't provide enough support for the helpfulness of customers/users to make a significant difference to the support they provided, and that includes Microsoft in the context of an 'enterprise' support agreement. The few companies that did provide significant support never once, across decades of experience, identified that they had used or were helped by telemetry collection.
The telemetry collection may help them with product development, impact assessment and license enforcement. I never worked at one of those large vendors that does significant telemetry collection. Only the impact assessment might be considered relevant to support, though typically on a time frame irrelevant to any single support call.
keep making the same fundamental error: treating his employees as if they're not human beings deserving of respect and care.
It's not just Meta. It's capitalism driven by financialization with sociopaths at the helm. It's not an error. It is essential. Whatever changes they might make to increase their profits, they will not include actually caring about employees as human beings. AI might produce memos that better conceal the callous exploitation and fraudulently proclaim caring, but it doesn't care either.
I agree. I really don't understand why society tolerates, let alone promotes and idolizes, billionaires, while median net worth remains below $200,000, and probably much lower in most of the rest of the world. I don't think everyone should be forced to be exactly equal but the current disparity between median and Elon is more than 6 orders of magnitude, depending on the day of the week, and even to your average barely a billionaire it is more than 3 orders of magnitude. It's excessive, and looking at how society is going, fairly clearly unhealthy for everyone involved.
