[quote=Anonymous]There is no safety on the internet. There never has been, there never will be. There is no possible way to put it on rails. From the beginning, the open internet had easy access to suicide DIY, pro-anorexia "thinsperation", info on any drug you could imagine (and often illegal access to same), bombmaking instructions... Rotten.com, anyone?

This is a horrible story about an awful thing that happened, and there's literally no way to prevent it. ChatGPT and other LLMs "learn" now. We've already lost control, not that we ever really had much of it. The solution will not come from the corporations who created this tech. This isn't preventable. Sorry. I know a lot of y'all want to chime in with how it could never happen to you because you're a better parent, but you're full of shit. The only reasonable measure is limiting unsupervised access to technology, and it's not much of a defense. Your kid's group chat has eleventy-three questionable things in it right now, most of which you might not even register as issues due to the language they use sometimes. You need to hover to know, and their whole goal is keeping you at a distance.

Your best bet is the thing that's hardest to make with a teen: connection based on trust. There just isn't enough time in a working parent's life to stay deeply connected to a teen, and their whole evolutionary process is pushing them to be independent and go their own way. Staying connected is a full-time job.
