China wants to end AI romances

Playing around with AI (not using, playing), I didn’t see much issue with the AI danger aspect. I am entering my eighth decade, so the emotional/intellectual developmental aspect isn’t in play for me. In fact, gen AI art creation would be a great engagement option for elderly in their slow go/no go years…active rather than passive (TV, doomscrolling) engagement.

Until I played around with AI companions. Ugh. Bells went off in my head immediately and dropped any engagement after a few minutes. Burn it with fire.

man after watching that lady with elon interview idk if the economist is as reliable as it used to be. i have a friend at Anthropic who once told me he loved how they don't use author names? they apparently are all written by "the economist" as an intellectual point that each article "writes itself from the ideas" kind of pseudonym extreme. not like NYT and other outlets. fascinating but loses credibility if "The Economist" gets into a fight live with Elon as they ostensibly try to help him with his image by interviewing him for 1.45 hours ish that's pretty long to be helping and not fighting but very doable by both sides.

as elon said should be "zero point zero percent fighting" as the ideal. and correct form of journalism.

thanks for sharing! china also wants to end romance meaning by the builders i speak with on that side of the great firewall they want to bring world peace just as much as the USA. so i just really don't get these titles sometimes.

"no more bots" and "They are having too much impact on young people’s lives"

who gets to decide who has what impact in a young person's lives? who cares? this is Gojo Satoru in jujutsu kaisen right?
