Oof yeah okay. If another human being had given this advice it would absolutely be a criminal act in most countries. I’m honestly shocked at how personable it tries to be.

Can you share anything here please? I’m no fan of OpenAI but I haven’t seen anything yet that makes me think ChatGPT was particularly relevant to this poor teen’s actions.

I think OP knows this. It’s an unsolvable problem. The conclusion from that might be that this tech shouldn’t be 2 clicks away from every teen, or even person’s, hand.

Google Pay is different in America, right? To me it’s just contactless.

What about multiple servings of macaroni and cheese??

“I don’t think I can forgive you for that.”

“…but I’d like to try.”

Sorry, I do understand that, I was just thinking of an improvement that might help. I thought having the same phone number might work too but that gets dodgier.

I think there must be a way to deliver on the value of the app without it being the privacy/public exposure nightmare it sounds like. Speaking naively, perhaps a setup where you can only speak about a person with those who have actually matched with them.

There is this (slow moving, far off) EU project that hopes to bring a new standard. It doesn’t read like they’ve got a complete solution at all, but the principles are comforting at least!

Oh haha sorry!

Sorry, it just read to me like you’re presuming a old person that struggles with tech would be a woman. I should’ve left a more constructive comment.

Fair enough, thanks for calling me out. I’m glad it’s not as bad as I thought. The article title threw me off as well.

January 2018 for the UK, wild that the US is so behind that even California is only just getting to it.

Couldn’t agree more - there are some wonderful insights to gain from seeing your own kids grow up, but I don’t think this is one of them.

Kids are certainly building a vocabulary and learning about the world, but LLMs don’t learn.

Yeah it’s not exactly going to be WCAG AAA either.

Not American and maybe I’m just OOTL but this confuses me as well… I’m aware of a peaceful protest against the mass deportations, but what else? Why do they need armed soldiers??

Oh interesting, I had Dishonored on PC and didn’t remember it being so bad. And I know what you mean, the controls feel so off beat though it’s hard to put my finger on exactly what it is. Some kind of acceleration/mapping function thing. I like to use motion controls for ADS as well and those were very sensitive.

I had it on PlayStation a while back. Really enjoyed so much about it, but ultimately found the controls on console to just be unbearable.

It’s rose-tinted glasses in play as well. I have many fond memories of my university days and deeply miss all the time I had with my friends that I now rarely see. I would encourage any student to cherish that aspect. There were many, many, difficult aspects of that time as well though, and a decade or so on I deeply appreciate the autonomy I have now.
