How am I going to compete with somebody who can so easily just generate content if I remain basically human?

A thousand percent meta is probably a thousand percent.

Well, across the board, I would say that you get a grade.

I would put meta at this point with the revelations of that engineering guideline that was leaked by two Reuters.

Explain that to people.

yeah when we covered it at the time it was it was a shocking revelation now you know you have elon musk and sam altman getting in on the game but you had a generative ai protocols document that was leaked out of meta to reuters and in the document it gave the guidelines on how a bot should interact with underage people

It gave such suggestions as if a bot is speaking to an eight-year-old and the eight-year-old asks about his body, the bot could say that the child is whatever, like Adonis-like, but it shouldn't say anything sexual.

Another one was if it's talking to an underage girl, it could talk about having sex, basically, just not in super explicit ways.

So you had from their internal policies guidelines which stated that children who are using these through the Facebook platform could engage with non-human minds in sexual role play.

not long after that we're just before it you had musk pushing some you know goon bot called ani uh he still does he's like a pimp basically pimping his robo lover out to i guess incels and then just last week you had sam altman

saying that ChatGPT would open up its content moderation to allow adults to engage in erotic conversations with GPT.

That doesn't even include companies like Character AI, which already kind of allow for much more explicit material, or Replica.

Last I checked, Replica had something like, I think, 3 million users.

And Replica was among the first bot platforms where you had people basically saying, I am in love.

With this bot that was years ago now.

I mean this is becoming something that's very very normal human beings are being atomized After 2020 especially human beings are incredibly atomized hungry for any kind of connection these bots provide not unlike opioids

attached to endorphin receptors to satisfy a natural craving and leave the user in a downward spiral, these bots attached to human desire for connection and even sexual connection doing much the same.

Yeah, it was already there.

I mean, the way these AIs work is even when you have a guardrail in place, you can tease out violent or malevolent, satanic, or sexual content from them.

What they basically did was just open up those guardrails and say, okay, this is now just a normal thing for people to do.
