Really though, this could have just as easily happened in a google search. It's not ChatGPT's fault as much as this persons fault for using a non-medical professional for medical guidance.

Our tendency to 'progress' doesn't have to be the case, we all could collectively decide to hold ourselves here.

Also, I don't think that all our technology has always been good for us either. But we are blind to the downsides mostly.

It's not much different than choosing to interview people who will come into the office. Of course you are limiting yourself to people in the area. But employers know this.

Also, this idea that there is a single best candidate is rubbish. There are multiple candidates that are just as good as the next. And every person has their ups and downs, as well as trade offs. I also find it hard to believe that most employers are going to be able to tell the difference on such a fine scale as to not be able to choose certain limiting factors.

So yes, the democrat party has had many failings over the past decade if not more, but that doesn't make this a binary choice between Trumpian policies and democrat failings.

Cutting government spending is very hard to do. Everyone has special interests they look to protect, and no congress person wants to be the one that stopped funding for their district/state. I too am hopeful, but I have my doubts.

Someone else's response was that a 10 year old should not be on ticktoc. Well then how did they get past the age restrictions?(I'm guessing its a check box at best). So its inadequately gated. But really, I don't think its the sort of thing that needs an age gate.

They are responsible for a product that is actively targeting harmful behavior at children and adults. It's not ok in either situation. You cannot allow your platform to be hijacked for content like this. Full stop.

These 'services' need better ways to moderate content. If that is more controls that allow them to delete certain posts and videos or some other method to contain videos like this. You cannot just allow users to upload and share whatever they want. And further, have your own systems promote these videos.

Everyone who makes a product(especially for mass consumption), has a responsibility to make sure their product is safe. If your product is so complicated that you can't control it, then you need to step back and re-evaluate how it's functioning. Not just plow ahead, making money, letting it harm people.

Our justice system acknowledges that it's flawed and it's flawed with the idea of letting guilty people go, in order to make sure we aren't charging innocent people.(granted we are failing at that). But we should be crafting care with the intention of accidentally helping people who may have no qualified so that all qualified people would get care.
