"Meanwhile lawyers for Multi-Death Corporation say why they need slave labor at Tortoise Treblinka to run the hydraulic presses crushing orphans because those are the sweetest tears of all ..."

"In the U.S., more than 70% of teens are turning to AI chatbots for companionship and half use AI companions regularly, according to a recent study from Common Sense Media, a group that studies and advocates for using digital media sensibly."

Considering we are really only beginning to accept that social media was a massive mistake, I mean what could go wrong?

For some reason I am now reminded of a part of Dirk Gently novels. One of the characters in the book has a software company that got rich when they built a program that would generate plausible seeming reasonings for certain requests. The company boss used it after he had crashed his expensive sports car he bought on a loan to get a loan for another expensive sports car, but eventually, he sold the software exclusively to the US government. He noticed that from the wording of some budget request documentation and proceedings that apparently not only were various US government agencies using the software, though for some reason they were not all using the same version.

In totally unrelated news to this or AI, maybe I should apply my bank for a loan on a sports car. Haven't crashed any yet, but I gotta start somewhere?
