While social media is age-gated by the bill, AI chatbot services won’t be. “Chatbots are not as well-studied as the harm caused by social media  platforms,” Miller said during the press conference announcing the bill. “They don’t have the same social role.” With that said, the Safe Social Media Act also includes language around “AI chatbot services,” seemingly in response to OpenAI’s handling of the Tumbler Ridge shooting. As part of the bill, AI platforms are expected to mitigate the risk of chatbots “communicating harmful content” and engaging in harmful behavior, while also introducing “emergency measures” for dealing with crisis situations.

Seems like we’re seeing that this isn’t just about consumer surveillance but also pushing another platform

When the county utility investigated, officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.

I think the bigger issue is that the FBI was able to obtain the data.

Is “AI” even worth it?

Seriously, is there really a major use case for LLM besides data collection (which they can still do without LLM)?

Careful or you’ll go blind!

Ceccanti had been communicating with OpenAI’s chatbot for a few years. He used it initially as a tool to brainstorm ways to build a path to low-cost housing for his community in Clatskanie, Oregon, but eventually turned to it as a confidante. He would spend 12 hours a day typing to the bot, according to his wife. He had cut himself off from it after she, along with his friends, realized he was spiraling into beliefs that were detached from reality

“They developed grandiose beliefs about being on the verge of a major technological breakthrough, alongside classic manic symptoms such as impulsive spending, decreased need for sleep and, at the peak, auditory hallucinations,” said Sakata. “What stood out clinically was that the chatbot interactions did not generate the illness, but appeared to scaffold and reinforce beliefs that were already becoming pathological.”

Sad ending. Crazy how extremism works.

Great read. Thanks for sharing. Crazy how easy it was for the guy to claim ownership.

Akiba’s Trip is finally fixed!?!? I’ll have to check this out later.

Thank you for posting

Edit: Game and sound works. No upside-down cutscenes.

I am getting a crash entering the battle arena though.

They wish to know everything you do, and hide everything they do.

Ebay has a copy. Super pricey. Wasn’t able to find a digital version

AI is basically going to be… “It wasn’t me it was the robot” argument.

I’m not a racist…

I didn’t push the company to lower safety standards…

I did not have sexual relations with that woman…

And so on. Behind the scenes it will be the same crap but now they can escape blame with AI.

We need to go back to AA gaming

The irony of masked individuals using facial recognition on people.

The underlining issue is that people are being forced to do so much at once they skip whatever they can. We already seen intimacy suffer and AI is another “shortcut” that allows us to do more work and care less about community.

This feel strangely like it has little to do with actually protecting kids…
