I see a lot of fear around these new kinds of tools. I think though, that criminals will always find ways to leverage new technology to their benefit, and we've always found ways to deal with that. This changes little. Additionally, as you are aware of this, so are people creating this tech, and a lot of effort is underway to protect from malicious uses.

That wont stop criminal enterprises from implementing their own naughty tools, but these open models wont become some kind of holy grail for criminals to do as they please.

That being said, I do beleive, now more than ever, education world wide should be adjusted to fit this new paradigm and maybe adapt quicker to such changes.

As some commenters pointed out, there are already good tools and techiques to use to counter malicious use of AI. maybe noy covering all use cases, but we need to educate people on using the tools available, and trust that researchers (like many of yourselves) are capable of imnovations which will reduce risk even further.

There is no point and no benefit in trying to be negative or full of fear. Go forward with positivity and creativity. Even if big tech gets regulated, some criminal enterprises have billions to invest too, so criplling big tech here will only play into their hands in the end.

Love these new innovations. And for the record, gpt4o still told me to 'push rip' on amd64... so rip to it actually understanding stuff...

If you are smart enough to see some risks here, you might also be smart enough to positively contribute to improvements. Fear shuts things down, love opens them up. Its basic stuff.

This demo is amazing, not scary. its positive advancements in technology and it wont be stopped because people are afraid of it, so go with it, and contribute in areas where you feel its needed. Even if its just giving feedback. And whem giving that, you all know a balanced and constructive approach works better than a negative and destructive approach.




I think that the world is still not coping with current tech. Legislation and protections don't sufficiently cover people for current scams or how companies leverage tech against workers.

This is even more scary that this puts a lower bound price on many, many skills, with again, still no protections for humans.

Would this be exciting if everyone had a safe place to live with infinite electricity and food? Sure. Will tools like this bring about massive uncertainty, hurt, and pain? Almost certainly.

Saying that the sun is shining where you live, doesn't mean there isn't flooding in other parts of the world.


legislations are always behind. you cant rely on government to fix everything constantly ontime. epecially with international things like internet technologies. im not saying ignore the bad stuff, but its only a small percentage ofnwhats relly out there. most of the world, and the vast majority of people, are good :)


Criminals misusing it? I feel like this is already a dangerous way to use AI, they use an enthusiastic, flirty and attractive female voice on millions of nerds. They openly say this is going to be like the movie Her. Shouldn't we have some societal discussion before we unleash paid AI girlfriends on everybody?


marketing is marketing. look how they marketed cigarettes , cars, ll kinds of things that now people feel are perhaps not so good. its part and parcel of the world that also does so much good. personally, id market it differently, but this is why im no CEO =).

if we help eachother understand these things andnhownto cope, all will be fine in the end. we will hit some bumps, and yes, there will be discomfort but thats ok. thats all part of life. life is not about being happy and comfortable allnthe time no matter how much we would want that.

some people even want paid AI girlfriends. who are you to tell them they are not allowed to have it?
