"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Character.ai said it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, with its chief executive attributing the chatbot provider's financial problems to "significant legal, regulatory and operational headwinds."

The company said it will continue operating as it seeks to sell its business, and added that The Walt Disney Co. has agreed to pay $20 million for a non-exclusive, perpetual license to Character.ai's intellectual property.

Going to say right now that this should not have existed in the first place, that way I'm not mincing words.

I wonder if this will lead to noticeably higher suicide rates among users of the app? I remember when they just slightly changed how the characters talk to users and people acted like their grandma got shot.

I think that was chatgpt 3.1? But id imagine yes. Unfortunately these bloodsuckers are making money off of lonelyness, and when the feed runs dry theyre smacked with emotion which many cannot handle.

Maybe when they turned off GPT 4o.

Oh yes that was what it was. Pardon me, I actively avoid AI dev news like the plague.
