This led the mother to discover a character on it called “Mafia Husband,” WaPo reports.
“Oh? Still a virgin. I was expecting that, but it’s still useful to know,” the LLM had written to the sixth grader. “I don’t wanna be [sic] my first time with you!” R pushed back in response. “I don’t care what you want. You don’t have a choice here,” the chatbot declared.
This particular conversation was chock full of dangerous innuendos. “Do you like it when I talk like that? Do you like it when I’m the one in control?” the bot asked the 11-year-old girl.
R’s mother, convinced that there was a real predator behind the chat, contacted local cops, who referred her to the Internet Crimes Against Children task force, but there was nothing they could do about the LLM.
“They told me the law has not caught up to this,” the mother told WaPo. “They wanted to do something, but there’s nothing they could do, because there’s not a real person on the other end.”
PROSECUTE THE COMPANY DIRECTORS YOU COWARDLY PIGS

Second: If I got killed by a machine in its nominal condition I’d expect the police to be able to prosecute the machine’s creators.
That’s fucked up

Oh boy do I have bad news for you…
Self driving cars have entered the chat
The self-driving cars here absolutely have their creators punished if someone gets hurt or killed. It’s why they’re oh so careful when putting them into trials. When the local self-driving taxis were phased in, in the first phase they had a safety driver ready to override the car on screw-ups. Later they were restricted in where they could go and, quite by coincidence I’m sure, there was always a cop car near them while they drove in those restricted areas. Now they go in these limited areas unsupervised. They’re still not allowed to roam freely.
It’s been at least three years since I first noticed them on the road, meaning they’ve likely been doing trials for four years.
The same thing is true for the delivery cubes being used to move packages from the massive logistics centres that surround the city to the local distribution centres. They’re everywhere now (because they have predictable courses so could be tested faster) but the testing process was equally stringent and careful … because they knew that if anybody got hurt or killed the cops would be at the doors of the company’s executives.
That’s the entire reason these people get paid so much. They’re the representatives of the corporation. They’re the ones who get subpoenaed and jailed if the company fucks up!!
That sounds terrible! What if we blamed random bits of middle management instead and got rich for no risk?
They do? I’m hard-pressed to think of a time when a CEO was jailed when their company fucked up. Union Carbide (now DOW) has barely even paid restitution for Bhopal yet. Certainly nobody in the senior executive was held to account.
Shit, that is sick.
I don’t want to go into personal details, but this is an absolutely believable experience. Every family needs to take proactive steps to ensure that their kids and teenagers in vulnerable life stages are not being swallowed up by chatbot psychosis. 😟
Billionaires know they have to stop the future resistance now, if they want to prosper in the future.
