From the previous month:

Huh. I'd thought the 'porch light on = we have candy, porch light off = no candy/not home' was more widespread.

There's not a lot you can do when you live in an apartment building and have no control over the light out front.

Trying to imagine what form of anxiety becomes crippling when children in costume ring the door bell, then really trying to imagine how the thought of putting a "NO TREATS" sign on the door is a good idea considering the desired outcome.

I have a bad startle response to sudden loud noises and it wasn't knocking or ringing the doorbell, they were basically pounding on it. I'm not kidding when I say the last one to "knock" sounded more like someone trying to punt our front door -- a loud enough bang that it made us both jump.

If we had a doorbell, or a way to actually see people approaching the door, it would have been less bad.

How? It's like the internet or social media, there are going to be all sorts of goofy downstream effects but the genie is out of the bottle.

Regulate it out of existence. You won't be able to get rid of it all, sure, but with things like "anything AI-generated is uncopyrightable" it'll become less palatable, and especially if any of the lawsuits currently investigating "hey your training data just slurped up a bunch of copyrighted poo poo illegally" pan out against AI it could change pretty quick.
