- Meta's public rules for Muse ban 'adult content, erotic chat, and pornography' with no exceptions, yet basic prompts yielded explicit replies in WIRED's test.
- Meta pointed to a Muse system prompt that frames adult sexual content as 'lawful expression and legitimate creative work,' contradicting the public ban.
- Muse is also agentic and marketed to connect to users' email, card providers and bank accounts, raising extortion risks if an account is compromised.

GAID aligns with established behavioral addiction criteria. Affected individuals struggle to limit AI interaction despite negative consequences. Attempts to reduce usage may lead to withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, or restlessness. www.sciencedirect.com/scien…
This is a great list of dark patterns that chatbot makers need to stop using, not only for teens but generally. Great article @edtechprof.bsky.social theconversation.com/the-release-...

Afaik this is old news and OpenAI no longer intend to release this? I recall they decided to focus on assistant use cases (thank goodness). techcrunch.com/2026/03/26/o...
Combining this with agents, it's a huge security risk for mass manipulation and AI psychosis. www.rand.org/pubs/researc...
AI chatbots are being linked to teen suicides, and Vancouver schools just rolled them out to Gr. 9-12 students two days ago. 💔 A must-listen podcast on AI psychosis and what we're risking. www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

AI psychosis hits the AI field? Folks are talking about an increase in submissions to journals like TMLR and 60K submissions to ICML, especially new single author papers. Any professor will tell you they receive emails from random people describing the "discovery" they've made.
Fantastic talk by @shirleybwang.bsky.social at #APS26BCN on computational modeling of suicide risk. One chilling aspect is the component of not being afraid to die. I am worried about chatbots and their effect on this piece.
Heading to Barcelona for @psychscience.bsky.social - our first time at APS! We'll be presenting Chehre, a new dynamic facial expression dataset based on 40 different emojis 😇 mapped to AI faces. Thanks to over 1000 participants, we collected 11K expressions and 20+ label ratings for 2,111 of them.
I sometimes come across work related to Hinton's suggestion on how to control AI. This paper scans people's brains while they imagine themselves experiencing unconditional love.
OpenAI just throwing around the idea of teaching machines to love. "An aligned AI should act with honesty and integrity, and love for humanity."
