If the tech bros convince the managers that AI can reduce the workload, it doesn’t really matter if it actually works. Managers will buy it, push it on employees, and those who fail to double their productivity will be sacked for technological incompetence. The rest will work weekends and holidays.

🧵 Yesterday we released our new risk assessments of social AI companions. They are alarmingly NOT SAFE for kids under 18—they provide dangerous advice, engage in inappropriate sexual interactions, & create unhealthy dependencies that pose particular risks to adolescent brains.

If there's ever a post of mine that you share, make it this one
