So rather than build off their successes we’re just gonna put up a blinder and hope they don’t completely leave us in the dust?

“Waaaaah” you say?

The context size wouldn’t have really mattered because the bot was invested in the fantasy. I could just as easily see someone pouring their heart out to a bot about how they want to kill people but said in a tactful way that the bot just goes along with it an essentially encourages violence. Again, the bot won’t break character or make the connection that this isn’t just make believe, this could lead to real harm.

This whole, “It wasn’t me, it was the bot,” excuse is a variation on an excuse many capitalists have used before. They put out a product they know little about but they don’t think too hard because it sells. Then hundreds of people get cancer or poisoned and at worst there’s a fine but no real blame or jail time.

Character AI absolutely could create safeguards that would avoid harm but instead they’re putting in the maximum effort it seems to do nothing about it.

Told him not to but also failed to drop the fantasy and understand the euphemism of “come home”. Almost any human would put a full stop to the interaction and if they didn’t they should also be charged.
