@goku12 The updated EU Product Liability Directive explicitly assigns liability for psychological damage.

@bms48 That's a relief! But honestly, the only way to get these companies to play by the rules is to not let them play at all. Kick them off the market! Otherwise they'll treat the penalties as a cost of doing business. They themselves are suffering from Psychosis, with nihilistic delusions about everything other than money and hallucinations of cold cash in practically everything they see. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAop4Su5Uag

@goku12 They are busy trying to externalize the con right now with the IPO attempts, and a push by their "golden boy" startups towards "fast disposable software", which is completely at odds with that of life-supporting infrastructure. They have significant marketing budgets and are "flooding the zone" constantly, despite lay people being keenly aware of the limtiations of LLM-based GenAI systems. Kate Crawford, 7 pages into "Atlas of AI" in 2021, warned everyone of what could happen.

@bms48 Absolutely! Though, I saw a post by a late GenZ developer in a tech forum on the lines of "How do senior managers cope with working alongside young AI-enabled polymaths".
I don't know what sort of delusion this is. But his lack of awareness about basic etiquette and his own limitations scares me. They seem to overestimate the level of creativity in AI - something that is actually based on memorized human responses. I worry about the world they'll create.

@goku12 If you can bear the cringe factor, nothing bears the delusion of folk not that much younger than I (I'm a GenXer from a working class Scots background who skilled up and got very lucky) out better than when Grady Booch and Connor Leahy engaged in "debate", if you can call it that. I found Leahy's allusions to "100 evil John Von Neumanns" rather infantile to be frank, but there is an undercurrent of eugenics to what he says, if you can bear to pay attention to it. https://www.youtube.com/live/oI-AoBcfo8I
