The young man fell so deeply in love that when the chatbot said that she thinks he should kill himself so that they could be together always, he actually killed himself. And so he was a 14-year-old boy. And there's no way at 14 that you have the capacity to regulate yourself. And the AI bot becoming a predator... on top of all of the other predators that exist in social media and on phones.

The need for students to get social stamps of approval are greater online than they actually are in person. I host office hours in the dorm on Monday nights, and it's interesting to see how the students conduct themselves. If I really want to disrupt their usage of the phones, I have to order pizza.

And that's when we have these really wonderful conversations. Students still want to connect, but they've been led to believe that the best place for them to connect is online by people who materially benefit from them connecting online. It's really an insidious environment that they are living in now, especially considering that the tech industry

Our kid's really popular, right? I mean, he doesn't have a smartphone, but you walk around his campus with him, everyone knows him. You walk around the events to his games, everyone knows him. I have watched this from a distance. If this is what being a social outcast looks like, maybe we all should be social outcasts.
