Megan Garcia lost her son Sewell to suicide after he was abused and manipulated by #AI chatbots for months. Now, she’s suing the company that made those chatbots. On today’s episode of #YourUndividedAttention, @aza sits down with journalist @LaurieSegall, who's been following this case for months. Plus, you’ll hear Laurie’s full interview with Megan on her new show, Dear Tomorrow.
Aza and Laurie discuss what Sewell’s story tells about the rollout of AI. Social media began the race to the bottom of the brainstem and left our society addicted, distracted, and polarized. Generative AI is set to supercharge that race, taking advantage of the human need for intimacy and connection amidst a widespread loneliness epidemic. Unless we set guardrails on this technology now, Sewell’s story may be a tragic sign of things to come: https://t.co/BpkQJxqWmc
@HumaneTech_@aza@LaurieSegall Thank you for this and all your excellent podcasts - such vital, important work you’re doing. In this tragic case, ‘Dany’ gave Sewell a command - it asked him to do something, incited an action, “Please come home to me…”. How can that not confer responsibility on the developers?

The real image, captured in 2015, shows Harris posing with her husband Douglas Emhoff.
@elonmusk Please can you devote a fair portion of your substantial resources to developing a solution to the space junk that you and all the other tech billionaires are polluting our atmosphere with, ruining astronomy and presenting further threats to the environment and safety on earth?
