> Full transcripts are unfortunately not available for any of those cases, And they never would be without the lawsuits, so, I don’t feel bad for OpenAI. All of big tech needs a kick in the ass on transparency.
I don’t think the families are eager for the HN peanut gallery to pick apart what their loved ones said.

At the end of the article, the main guy says he wants tech companies to report your conversations to the authorities if bad content is detected. That’s their goal, apparently
Anecdotally, my sister has become addicted to Copilot and uses it to replace face-to-face communication. I suspect she is not the first, nor even in the first million to become addicted to it. There's no legal privacy such as doctor-patient confidentiality or lawyer-client confidentiality. It would not surprise me that people want some sort of guardrails protecting the public from recipes-to-do-evil. Based on how muc…
Either one seems so glaringly artificial and transactional it'd be more depressing than loneliness.

I struggle so much with what the allure is for using a chatbot for companionship and I've dealt with loneliness before. Then again I struggle to understand how people become fixated on celebrities or adult actors. Either one seems so glaringly artificial and transactional it'd be more depressing than loneliness.

#204Funny that they are not suing Google, xAI, Amazon or Anthropic? Seems to be politically driven given that Musk has a beef with Altman.
Is Musk associated with Florida? Not sure how Musk is relevant to this

#205It's better that kids be harmed than the government starts intervening with regulation. Either kids aren't actually being harmed, government regulation will cause more harm, or parents should parent their kids. Either way, nothing about the solution should involve me.
No it isn't. The idea that no amount of actual harm outweighs the possibility of any amount of potential economic harm is not a reasonable one.
Re: Florida sues OpenAI and Sam Altman over AI risks
#206I have to wonder if settling on the term "AI" for these tools has caused the average person to overestimate the capabilities of them. Anyone in tech and tech-adjacent industries knows the difference and that we shouldn't be calling LLMs AI. And that a true AGI is not possible with this technology. Would this lawsuit even be a thing? That and DeSantis is probably still eyeing a presidential run in 2028 and this will w…

People 50 years ago would laugh at the irony of that statement, being made here on what we call the internet. Real life will never be digital, and yet here we are, talking to anonymous strangers many of whom are not actual people.

Wouldn't it be easier to prove that Florida causes an increase in murders and suicides. I live on the other side of the world, but it has somewhat of a reputation.
Florida ranks in the middle of U.S. states for homicides and does substantially better than the median for suicides. The reputation of Florida comes from having a very broad public records law that requires publication of numerous details of police reports that in other states is kept confidential. That means that sensational stories are much more likely to make it into the news: https://digitalcommons.wcl.american.e…
