Good morning 🌥️ Realizing they were lagging behind their friends OpenAI and Google in the AI race, Meta launched their own standalone chatbot (which lets you opt into sharing your chatbot history), channeled suggestive Facebook pokes of old, and remembered that sex sells. Children be damned. The Wall Street Journal said that Meta staff said that Zuckerberg said the staff ought to loosen Meta AI’s boundaries, allowing it to generate sexually explicit content for users, including minors. This is another reason to be suspicious of anyone who still uses Facebook.
