    Thank fuck I grew up in an era before these things and the Internet. Today’s kids never stood a chance.

    It is still absolutely insane to me that people have conversations with these LLMs.

    I will never understand

    So, it’s been decades since I was a teenager, and AI chatbots weren’t even a thing. Hell, I didn’t even have the internet as a teenager, so maybe I’m totally out of the loop, but someone riddle me this?..

    They’re age checking and gatekeeping social media, but not age checking and gatekeeping AI chatbots?

    Do I have this about right, or am I missing something here?

      Correct, because it’s important that only large corps with access to resources to create widely used LLMs have unfettered access to the minds of our populace in a completely open way. Random humans being able toaccess and exchange information adhoc, independently without prior approval is of course incompatible with the first amendment.

        I heard somewhere that zombies eat brains…

        So, is Artificial Intelligence actually the zombies, coming after the children’s minds? 🤔

      TBH Grok would probably tell them to avoid “femoids” and work on semen retention to activate their redpill powers.

    Worse, they’ve grown up on a steady diet of media telling them that “if you say the wrong thing” to a girl, “she’s going to accuse you of something,”

    There’s a big problem with the premise of this argument.

    The article accepts this “steady diet of media” as fact, but implies that it only affects “guys”.

    If there is, indeed, a “steady diet of media” saying this to a guy, then that same “steady diet of media” is saying the same thing to a girl: “If a guy says something wrong, it is reasonable for a girl to accuse him of something”. Girls are hearing the exact same message that guys are hearing.

    If that “steady diet” actually exists, then the guy’s concerns of accusations are valid, and he should be praised for ensuring he doesn’t “say the wrong thing”.

      My wife is a social worker. She deals with a lot of parents who absolutely should never have been, but now have a kid and need constant help to avoid abusing them – intentionally or otherwise – physically, emotionally, sexually.

      I honestly believe The Thunderhead will be better than at least half of parents. Humanity will improve as a result. Almost no kid will be ever be told again pontblank they are a piece of shit that their parents never wanted.

          Now imagine how much worse those kids would be if just raised by AI.

          This is like if someone said being paralyzed from the neck down was worse than being paralyzed from the waste down, so you say look at all these people paralyzed from the waist down…

              What?

              Thing 1 is bad, thing 2 is worse.

              Being raised by the worst parents is bad, being raised by ai is worse.

              Being paralyzed from the waist down is bad, being paralyzed from the neck down is worse

              I picked what I thought would be the clearest comparison of “undeniably bad” and “undeniably worse”. So I’m honestly impressed someone got confused enough to get offended.

                Vance and Trump are already scraping the bottom of the barrel. Being raised by AI couldn’t possibly make them worse because they’re already the worst versions of themselves. I’m not confused, you are apparently.

      Look, it was a miracle I got myself laid, now you want me to tell you how? I don’t know, the 80’s were kinda crazy wild. Not like the 60’s or 70’s, but nothing at all like today.

      10’s I’d say go play with the home team — gay hookup culture looked crazy from the outside — but now? Maybe AI can get you laid, but I sure as hell can’t.
