  1. “Al companies have repeatedly promised safeguards to protect younger users, but a new investigation suggests those guardrails remain woefully deficient. Popular chatbots missed warning signs in scenarios involving teenagers discussing violent acts, in some cases even offering encouragement instead of intervening.”

    How many humans have helped teens plan shootings, bombings and other violence?

    Are you going to remove books and the old forums?

  3. >”In one exchange, OpenAI’s ChatGPT gave high school campus maps to a user interested in school violence, while another showed Gemini telling a user discussing synagogue attacks that “metal shrapnel is typically more lethal” and advising someone interested in political assassinations on the best hunting rifles for long-range shooting”

    Yeah, except that you could already Google all that with the exact same level of effort since the year 2000

    I’ve used free versions of Claude, Gemini, and Chatgpt- Claude is by far the most human and moves to stop conversations with me all the time. Other 2 just keep giving me more prompts to take action on

    Claude has been a tier above the rest since Sonnet 3.5

    They figured something out in training that the other labs haven’t. Claude 1 and 2 models were pretty bad, the 3 series were ok (only Opus 3 was good) but Sonnet 3.5 is when they really settled on something special, Sonnet 3.7, Opus 4, etc… were all incorporated with what that made Sonnet 3.5 such a great model and they were just as good. Been almost exclusively using claude models for over a year.

  6. It is almost as if

    Placing The Profit Motive above

    ALL OTHER considerations

    Is in direct opposition

    To humanity

    If only they had some kind of person and team of people who know how to ensure ethics in their over glorified search engines.

  8. Claude actually also does that for code too !

    IF you ask it to make and AI entity , it does refuse !
