Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Free speech rights for an LLM is massively dumb but he died from bad parenting. They were told he had major mental health issues by a psychologist, he was behaving erratically at home and school, and they still left a gun lying around.
Yeah she's suing so she can blame someone else for her catastrophic failure.
It's hard to accept your part in such, especially with something else to blame.
They didnt just leave a gun lying around, and they're not suing the gun company. To get a gun you have to go to a store that sells deadly weapons and give your money to someone who will tell you that it's a deadly weapon that will kill people. A gun that kills someone is doing exactly what you bought it for.
The parents in this case left an electronic stuffed animal lying around, which they had been given by someone who almost certainly didn't say "be careful, this toy may convince your child to kill themselves.". So they are suing the manufacturer, the same way they would sue a drug maker whose medicine made their kid suicidal or they would sue a therapist who told their kid to commit suicide.
"Oh, you're just a bad parent" may be an accusation of contributory negligence, but it's not an assertion that should keep a third party from having to answer for their actions.
Deadly weapons should be kept in a location that can't be easily accessible by a child with depression.
Anecdotally, I was depressed at his age and my father had guns. The gun locks stopped me the first time. Before I could figure out how to get them off, my mom noticed I wasn't in a good spot and had my dad give the guns to a relative and forbade him from telling me where.
The boy in question had an official diagnosis and they kept a gun in a shoe box in the closet. Guns should never be kept anywhere within access of a child and always under some kind of lock. There are very few cases where the owner of a gun isn't largely to blame when a kid shoots himself imo.
People don't even have free speech in this country anymore, why would it be different for irresponsibly wielded tech?
Because the tech generates revenue that is then used to line the pockets of politicians.
Because money.
They don't care if you or I die, but they care if tech grifters can't turn a profit.
I mean, let’s see that chat log.
i need a shower just by considering that
come home
What about age restricting ai for anyone under 18,?
And enforce it how? How much longer until we have to provide our ID or biometrics to use the Internet or apps? What happens at 18 that would make a person immune to this?
Easy, we just give AI access to all our files and personal information and it will know our age!
How much longer until we have to provide our ID or biometrics to use the Internet or apps?
That's already a thing in some places.
In parts of Europe you have to "prove" that you're over 18 to watch videos that are age restricted on youtube. By doing something like a $0 credit card purchase on your google account.
And Discord has been talking about facial reckognition age verification in the UK over their new "sensitive content" regulation. So it would block that content if not approved via that or other thing(like digital purchase or national ID).
The law should protect everyone equally
As of a lonely 19yo couldn't have easily succumbed to the same fate. Heck, I was at my most depressed at 22.
And social media while we're at it!
I'm not providing ID to be able to post to Lemmy. I'd just stop using it.
Technology has been massively underregulated for decades now. Our politicians have no understanding of tech, AI, nor the internet. Politicians should be forced to retire at fucking 50, I’m sick of these out-of-touch idiots doing nothing with their positions of power.
Everyone who thinks KYS is a free speech issue and not a hate speech issue are severely dangerous manipulative sociopaths.
The problem is, the US has largely held that hate speech is free speech.
A fundamental right is not really a problem. Expression that doesn't directly harm (defamation, incitement, threat) can be ignored.
