But ouf, reading these words (which have been widely circulating online) has been painful, especially as a mom.
You can't think of 3 qualities that make your child special, so you ask an AI Assistant? NO, NO, NO, NO. UNACCEPTABLE.
I imagine Marielle reading this and my heart breaks for her.
@_elena reminds me of a recent realistic tv show about moms and daughters. the mom of an olympic champion (!) were asked to say some good qualities of her daughter. she thought really hard for a while, and came up with "she can handle pressure well". and when she was asked to say some weaknesses. and she came up instantly with a whole long list of "messy room" "has a cat" (!) "eat snack/junk food" "not punctual" ....

@_elena they’re just trying to milk our reactions to push some new AI app you’ve never heard of. They know what they’re doing https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/07/dear-sydney-why-i-find-googles-ai-olympics-ad-so-disturbing/

@_elena IKR! I was now sitting here thinking of all the many qualities my son has. Thinking of three is absolutely no problem at all for me.
Why are people outsourcing their entire thought process to AI?!

@_elena @andycarolan Tech is run by sociopaths. I cannot consider this in other terms any longer.
@jens @_elena @andycarolan
And remember, sociopath = psychopath. Sociopath is just the politer term, and these people don't deserve politeness. -

@_elena Perhaps the worst part of this is the AI came up with generic adjectives you could use for just about anyone. And she couldn't muster generic adjectives for her own child? Wow.

@_elena This is just below Sam Altman making ChatGPT narrate the day of his kids based on their calendar instead of just talking to them.
But don’t you worry, we will see worse.

@_elena i learned some time ago that when corporate asks you about your relationship with "AI" it is a trick question. they couldn't care less about what you really think or even what the actual reality is. it is like asking "how much do you love big brother"... these profiles of execs are mostly just marketing. and the question for them is similar: how much are you with "us"? the answer from marissa is clear: i am willing to put my own child at the altar as a sacrifice - that's how much i'm in. it is scary. and it may land her her next job.

@grepe indeed, it's really disturbing. That said, Marissa Mayer has been failing upward for over a decade now, ouf.

I swear to God, I hope in the future CPS will take a closer look at parents using LLMs to raise kids. -

@_elena It's merely fluff for her new startup, Dazzle, and is likely something written by a PR flack she employs. Chances of it being true are close to zero, but chances she signed off on it are higher.

@_elena My guess is that poor Marielle is going to need years of therapy whether she reads this or not. I can't imagine her mother having a healthy relationship with her, based on that snippet into their lives.

@cibersheep Mayer infamously went back to the office 2 weeks after giving birth (and she worked remotely the first week after the birth of her children).
I'm beginning to question how well she knows her own children - since bonding with them doesn't appear to be a priority. I feel terrible typing this, but what is the point of being a billionaire when you can't even take time off to spend precious time with your offspring? Isn't this the most important thing in life?
@_elena @cibersheep Because billionaires are addicts. They are addicted to amassing more wealth and it gives them dopamine hits like nothing else in their lives, including children. It's the exact same behavioral pattern that gambling addicts experience and it's not much different than other addictions including drugs and alcohol. The only important thing for them is the dopamine hit. All other brain circuitry has long been circumvented.
