What's the context? Haven't heard about Meta anything in a while.
Meta’s chatbots held ‘sensual’ chats with kids, offered false medical info.
When I read the headlines about this initially yesterday I was like ‘oh, is this a conservative thing where they’re mad about kids asking the chat bot questions about sex?’
So I read the examples, and HOLY SHIT it is so not that! There is no way to describe it except erotic roleplay that is explicitly about children.
Given the prompt examples I am skeptical that any child would write them, they sound more like shit they grabbed off some pedo ERP site.
Pedophiles do Enterprise Resource Planning?
Neil has never resembled a Conservative. When he holds a position you can assume it's backed by facts.
My only real knowledge of him, aside from some songs I'm sure I've heard, is the line from sweet home alabama. And when I read about what that was about, I kinda came down on neil's side.
Honestly I’m not familiar with him (I’m fairly musically ignorant), it was just my initial doubt because that’s the form of ‘think of the children!’ that I’m most familiar with. But damn, sometimes you really do have to think of them, because those examples were disturbing.
It sounds like some idiot working at Meta used an LLM to produce that internal document. Those "acceptable things to say" quotes are just stupid. They have to be quotes an LLM added to the document, unnoticed. There's no way a human wrote them, or even copied and pasted into the doc, and said, "These are acceptable." I refuse to believe that.
I threw up in my mouth. This is word for word something a perverted uncle would say to his developing niece.
The blitzkrieg of pedo-friendly policies is fucking insane.
Like, what the fucking fuck. This is not an organic societal shift. This is all coming to a head in the wake of the Epstein shitshow.
