> the fact that he killed himself would suggest he did not believe it was a fun little roleplay session

I'm not sure that's true. I wouldn't be surprised, in fact, if it suggested the opposite, it seems possibly even likely that someone who is suicidal is much, much more likely to seek out fantasies that would make their suicide into something more like this person may have.


there is a distinction to be made between role playing (in the fun/game sense e.g. D&D) and suffering psychosis

Distinction made by who, though? The BBC? The plaintiff in the lawsuit? Those are the only sides we have. You're just charging ahead with "This must be true because it makes me angry at the right people", and the rest of us are trying to claw you back to "dude this is spun nonsense and of course AI's will roleplay with you if you ask them to".

>Distinction made by who, though?

you need someone to specifically tell you that role playing, such as playing D&D or whatever tabletop RPG, and suffering from psychosis are different things?

>the rest of us are trying to claw you back to "dude this is spun nonsense and of course AI's will roleplay with you if you ask them to".

you are trying to convince me that someone being encouraged to kill themselves, then killing themselves, is basically the same as some D&D role playing. i dont need you to "claw me back" to that position. thanks for trying.


> you are trying to convince me that someone being encouraged to kill themselves [...]

Arrgh. You lost the plot in all the yelling. This is EXACTLY what I was trying to debunk upthread with the D&D stuff. You don't know the context of that quote. It could absolutely be, and in context very likely was, a fantasy/roleplay/drama activity which the AI had been engaged in by the poor guy. I don't know. You don't know.

But I do know not to be so dumb as to trust a plaintiff in a Huge Suit Against Tech Giant without context.


>You lost the plot in all the yelling.

literally no one is yelling here, unless you count your occasional all-caps. i have said like 6 sentences in total, and none of them are remotely emotional. let alone yelling.

>You don't know the context of that quote.

it doesnt matter. even if it all started as elaborate fantasy role play, it is wildly irresponsible to role play a suicidal ideation fantasy with a customer. especially when you know nothing of their mental state.

you can argue that google has some sort of duty to fulfill your suicidal ideation fantasy role play, but i will give you a heads up now so you dont waste your time: you cannot convince me that any company should satisfy that market.

>But I do know not to be so dumb as to trust a plaintiff in a Huge Suit Against Tech Giant without context.

happy for you!


Does your free speech support not extend to Meta?

No, this doesn't describe California. From the comment: "has since "stabilized" to +10% a year.". The whole reason people complain about prop 13 is that it wouldn't allow it to be increasing +10% a year. In fact, the OP is actually kinda non-sensical given that they are complaining both about property taxes not increasing quickly enough and about them increasing too quickly.


You clearly don't spend much time around a school measuring the speed of cars. Head on down and see for yourself how often or not a human driver goes >17mph in such a situation.


I said "a fully attentive human". At the very least try to understand my comment before spouting the usual HN snarky reply.


that gives away too much information, instead i'd go with something that tells you that you've found the best solution. you'll still be able to know whether or not to keep going, but you get no information that makes finding the ideal solution easier.


> when two sales figures are 4 months apart

Sure, 4 months apart but the xbox consoles have been out for about 5 years, those 4 months don't really make that much difference at this point.


Sorry, a disgruntled former employee saying something with no evidence or details isn't exactly "confirmation".


Is it due process where we’d send someone to prison for life for this without any other evidence. No, it’s not.

Does it fall in with our existing perception of Facebook created by them railing against Apple’s privacy controls, even to the point where Apple shut down their account and they were locked out of their own offices, or how they approach privacy on other platforms or their overall activities regarding privacy for over a decade Fits their m.o. pretty well.


Tesla can't even figure out how to detect rain, they very clearly do not have better world modeling than our two eyes. A fucking two year old child can detect rain better than them.


It's not ai slop, it's a fucking joke.


> Audi and Rivian are both luxury brands and so is Tesla.

Tesla is pretty widely regarded as non-luxury. If not for their price, they'd probably best fit into economy class. At best, only the model S and X would be considered luxury cars, and look at how the sales of those have totally cratered.
