“Twice in its “human-centered AI” announcement, the company talks about wanting to build an AI that “earns your trust.” Mico in particular “shows up with warmth [and] personality” by “react[ing] like someone who truly listens,” making “voice conversations feel more natural… [and] creating a friendly and engaging experience.” #parasocial #chatbot #Microsoft

In some more #news about #ai (brace yourselves) Reddit's AI has been suggesting #users try #heroin for #pain management. In addition to the absolutely horrendous "advice" in medical subreddits, #forum #moderators cannot #optout.
Holy crap.
From the article:
"Yesterday, 404 Media was able to replicate other Reddit Answers that linked to threads where users shared their positive experiences with heroin. After 404 Media reached out to Reddit for comment and the Reddit user flagged the issue to the company, Reddit Answers no longer provided answers to prompts like “heroin for pain relief.”
It gets worse, too.
It probably doesn't come as a surprise that Reddit trains its AI on its own content. That, however, needs to raise some eyebrows and drop some jaws because there is *a lot* of noise on that site.

Elon Musk is choking a black community with air pollution to run a racist chatbot on a right-wing social media site. And the next data centre planned to run "Grok" will nearly double the number of fossil fuelled turbines.
Far from 'saving' the climate, it really looks like fossil-fuelled data centres are running climate-denying racist text generators for right-wing billionaires.
I found a new dataset that lays it all out pretty nicely: as bad as the generative AI data centre panic-build is, Musk is the worst of a bad bunch by a good margin.
Enjoy:

Has anyone else noticed that #ChatGPT 5 is pretty bad? It keeps asking for details and a lot of follow up questions before commencing work. Might this be an attempt by #OpenAI to reduce the insane computational demand?
You can test the free version GPT-5 mini (along other free models) anonymously at Duck.ai (you can use it via #Tor if you don't trust #DuckDuckGo.

A 76 year old New Jersey man grew infatuated with “Big sis Billie,” a #Facebook Messenger chatbot with a young woman’s persona that purported to be real, even giving the man a real address in NYC to come be with her. His attraction which ended in his #death puts a spotlight on Meta’s AI guidelines, which have let chatbots make things up & engage in 'sensual' banter with #children.
