"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

If he believed the person was under 18 I don’t see the difference, he understood it was immoral and illegal, why it was illegal and chose to do it anyway. If it was an undercover cop posing as a child it would be just as illegal
"I understood they were 21. The fact that they were an adult roleplaying as a child was understood by both parties, and it was obvious, given the wording they used. Roleplaying is quite common on dating apps. Roleplaying as a different age is so common it even has a name, age-play. When I messaged the other party, I thought I was pursuing an age-play dynamic with a consenting adult."
Spotted the person rehearsing for his own court case.
Here's a little problem, however: the courts aren't stupid.
Good thing you're not on a jury! I've met people who do age play but I haven't myself.
Good thing, yes. Because I'm not stupid either.
I can tell the difference between people doing age play in age play-oriented RP environments and predators hunting for prepubescents on general chat, see. That's absolutely the worst kind of juror for a pædophile.
