Penguinz0 just released a video about it and I have to admit that the character.ai AI are disturbingly convincing. They keep arguing they are real persons and, for vulnerable peole, you can get lost.

Definitely some gross negligence from the AI platform here in my honest opinion. It's easy to put some guardrails when you make a chatbot, but they didn't.

Btw, you don't know what the parents did and did not to help their son. I don't know either. So it's better to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Edit: I'm not an American and I would never understand why anyone would own guns.

I might be wrong but the fact that they enable the option by default to everyone (but EU it seems) allow themselves to collect all the posts you already made right away.

Turning it off will only prevent them from using your future posts.

So they already have trained their AI with your data. They certainly won't "untrain" it after you switch the option off. You can't unring that bell...

All companies are using this scumbag approach to get your data: auto opt-in everyone, get all existing data then give the illusion that you can opt-out with a useless option.

I hate this

I guess Revanced would eventually have a patch to skip this check. It can already spoof the client and such, why not this as well. I hope so

Not gonna lie, I thought it was about Internal Combustion Engines at first.

Have you tried making a video reaching 20m views?

Of course there were multiple choices

1. Vladimir Putin
2. All of the above

You know what feels wrong? You can easily buy GPS tracking devices on Amazon, but it is illegal to use a GPS jammer in USA, Canada and many other countries.

So companies spying you is fine, but blocking a GPS signal to prevent them from spying can get you a $16,000 fine.

Edit: my thought experiment is not about truck drivers being monitored but more about those fancy new EVs that sell your GPS based data to data brokers... You usually can't turn off the GPS in those EVs.

and the Enshittification continues

Gosh I completely forgot how to Reddit... I thought a guy named "Permalink" replied to his own comment several times...

🤦

Still too many fingers 🤌

HD for herd display

There's no shame in highlighting what went right and still acknowledging what went terribly wrong.

Censoring the latter prevents improvements. No need for fanboyism.
