AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Cross and Erlich also found that Miko’s parental controls are severely lacking. Many of the controls are also paywalled behind an expensive $15 monthly subscription.
Man, the real worst part is going to be giving your kid an artificial "friend" then having to explain what happened once their "friend" loses support and gets shut down by the company next year. This is already going to socially isolate them, then you're just gonna digitally fridge mr. bear? jfc...
Unfortunately I've encountered loads of parents who definitely would. They tend to be busy high-earners with low emotional intelligence who don't have an inkling of the damage they do on a regular basis.
Miko just went to live on a data farm upstate.

Labubu, with Chinese Characteristics.
Ah ...
Labubu is Chinese. It doesn't have "Chinese characteristics".
Well it's a charming change from the usual American talking points like Barbie saying "math is hard".
Don't ask me, I'm just a girl. Hyah hyah.
The South Park Chimpokomon episode anyone? :)

Waow
We need to hack these things to get them to spread syndicalist talking points.
Remember kids, those who do the work deserve a say in the steering and a share in the profit.
I wonder who missed all the news on TV and social media, and still gets the kids such a toy for Christmas.
But boy are these some construed examples. Does NBC think a toddler with access to knives and a whetstone is fine, but the knowledge how to sharpen them is the problematic part? And what's with the matches? I don't hide how to light them from kids. Because realistically they'd alternatively just eat them and die from the phosphor. So again, why home in on explaining how something works with that? I bet we could come up with better examples. And other news outlets have.
I'd really advocate for teaching kids about knives, though. Tell them exactly how sharpness works, and what it does to someone's fingers. Probably at a young age so they get to know about dangerous items in the household. Provide them with a butter knife (under supervision) so they can learn how to make a sandwich without poking their eyes out. It's super weird that some kids can't eat properly at 7yo. And of course don't give them a kids Alexa. But that's for a plethora of different reasons.
its the happy talking panda from family guy.
Yay! Very holiday data information!
