Considering the article has selected people who claim chatbots have fixed their marriages… This is a puff piece.

as a totally off-topic aside, I find that people tend to dislike AI in areas they are deeply familiar with.

Incredible article. Starting off with, they are only banning minors from chats (although their other features are unpopular), and they are tapering children off by limiting chats to two hours for now.

the company says it’s rolling out a new in-house “age assurance model” that classifies a user’s age based on the type of characters they choose to chat with…

If nobody under 18 is allowed on the chats, why would you have characters geared towards minors?!

Adults mistaken for minors can prove their age to the third-party verification site Persona

The surveillance company, that’s great

And then there’s this quote from the guy who runs the suicide bot company:

“When we started making the changes of under 18 experiences earlier in the year, our under 18 user base did shrink, because those users went into other platforms, which are not as safe,” Anand said.

Give me a break.

World’s richest man with an infamously glitchy centralized social network, who wants it to be a centralized payment processor, is saying what?

Nothing makes me tune out of a conversation faster than if someone injects a ChatGPT response into it.

That’s bad enough, but now Apple wants to create a total surveillance device that not only listens to everything we say and uploads into their cloud, but also spits up random nonsense at random times?

Can you elaborate on buying monero at an exchange and then transferring it out? Do you mean that OP should

1. make a local wallet
2. make an account on a popular exchange
3. buy cryptocurrency on the exchange
4. transfer it to their local wallet

And would it be accurate to say that a local wallet can be maintained without a lot of system power, and can run on open source software? I assume that because any transfers that are sent to or from the wallet, are basically synchronized in the Blockchain, so there’s not a lot of data that needs to be stored on the user’s side.
