Meta backtracks on rules letting chatbots be creepy to kids
- notrealyme123 1y agoThats just awful to read. A lot of people at meta must have read this and said: "Yes that's the right level of creepy that I want children to interact with. And you know what? Let's make it clear that black people are dumber than white people." Must be a great place to work.
- noobermin 1y agoThey have a lot of money left over from all the layoffs to pay the remaining ones well enough, and the coming crash has yet to materialise, some would think.
- iforgotpassword 1y agoI mean I consider all the big tech companies evil, but somehow meta consistently manages to raise the bar in that discipline. I don't understand how any dev left at that company doesn't feel like a spineless POS. And I don't say that for trolling or pure provocation. I seriously don't understand how you can ignore all the shit they pull and just go "but the technical challenges are really interesting". I really want to know.

- GauntletWizard 1y agoDon't expect they'll follow these new guidelines they're promising. The previous rules were an accurate reflection of the business and "Trust and Safety" culture at Meta.
