Character.AI, the GenAI site that convinced some children to kill themselves, has gone bankrupt after parents sued them.
we found hordes of chatbots explicitly dedicated to themes of pedophilia, suicide, self-harm, and eating disorder coaching, as well as a thriving community of users creating chatbots designed to simulate school shootings, romanticize real mass shooters, and even impersonate the real child victims of mass shootings.
Nah, once this all crashes, hardware will go back to being semi-normal. (along with new fabs going online), and we’ll all be able to get hardware to run our models locally.
What they will be selling is the models. Just like software, we’ll purchase a model outright, subscribe to an updating model, or we’ll pirate a model, or there will be free open-source models.
The idea that we’d all intimately interact with a single centralized AI over the net was a stupid idea doomed to failure since the beginning.
It won’t crash. I guarantee it.
