Even if the certs were properly cryptographically vetted, you could just point the camera at a high-enough resolution screen displaying false content.

Do you think China will stop here? This is like trying to hide Photoshop from the public. Realistic AI generated videos and adversary-sponsored mass disinformation campaigns are 100% inevitable, even if the US labs stopped working on it tod

There's no evidence that this fearmongering over safety is actually correct. The worst thing you can do is pummel an emerging technology into the grave because of misplaced fear. Just take a look at how many everyday things were "

That world is already here. Nothing you can do about it, might as well democratize access to the technology.

Agree, I'm hugely bullish on AI but this implementation is just so fucking bad. The Apple execs involved should feel a deep sense of shame and incompetence. What a joke. The Siri org leaders have proven to the world, time and time ag

Metapost - Reading the (civilized!) comments on HN vs those on Reddit is such a contrast. I'm a bit worried that while regulators are focusing on X/Facebook/Instagram/etc. from a moderation perspective, not one regulato

Illegal content, perhaps. I don't know. But what I do know is that the line definitely shouldn't be drawn at porn, alcohol, or immature AI chatbots.

Parenting still needs to happen, especially if your 17-year old child is autistic as was the case in this article - they do not have the maturity of a typical 17-year old.

This is a bunch of hand-wringing. If the AI reply is what I would have said anyways; awesome! Finding thumbnails is hard, but if AI comes up with a good one? Fantastic! None of your interactions except the ones with your friends and family

No, because I don't agree with the government controlling what I can watch. There is a cost to freedom. I don't need a nanny state to live a full life.

Should porn sites shut down because "children using [the] service is reliably and consistently resulting in negative outcomes for the children and their families"?

There should absolutely be a Section 230 for AI outputs. Parents should actually parent if they don't want their kid using certain apps and websites. The app was 17+ and if the parents did the bare minimum with parental controls it wou

I think it's also entirely reasonable to expect parents to actually parent, instead of installing foam bumpers and a nanny state everywhere in case some kid hurts themselves. If the parents weren't absent and actually used parenta

c.ai is explicitly a 17+ app and has multiple warnings at literally every stage of chatting with a bot that "this is a bot, don't take it seriously." Maybe the parents should actually parent. I'm sick of absent parents

I think the "silent majority" is just fine with this change. The OSS "extremists" will certainly be the noisiest about this - everyone else will continue on with life as usual, especially if they have an understanding of

Right, and in the meantime nuclear-armed countries mostly get to avoid the horrible, endless churn of death and war and teenagers being sent off to the meat grinder to push some border here or some border there. We have eliminated warfare b

A company and a country made a legal, consensual agreement (that the Irish public was also in favor of) and the EU stepped in and "re-interpreted" it to rent-seek. This is transparent and obvious to everyone outside of the EU. Ren
