Yep they knew. Heinous fucks. Please listen to my interview on @onwithkaraswisher.bsky.social with the mother of the 14 year old boy who did just this after being obviously and repeatedly manipulated by a chatbot (link below)
NEW: Months before Google was accused in a lawsuit of facilitating the suicide of a teen user of the Google-tied chatbot startup CharacterAI, researchers at Google DeepMind warned in a paper that chatbots could target minors and manipulate vulnerable users into suicide.

@onwithkaraswisher.bsky.social Enjoyed the interview with @jordanklepper.bsky.social ... quite informative and thought provoking, gave me pause ...and... Jordan Klepper is a national treasure because he does what I could never do but I wish I could... maybe I will try in the near future.

Teen Vogue FTW. They’ve been killing it lately. @schumer.senate.gov if you really truly cared about the country over the party, you’d step down as minority leader.
The headline says it all...
A former Schumer staffer, Leah Juliett, is sounding the alarm that Schumer's leadership has "left many young voters increasingly disaffected by politics and disconnected from a party that once felt aligned with our values."

As the military under Pete Hegseth rolls back recruiting for minority Americans remember that black women are the only reason the Army met its recruiting goals last year. Not enough white men qualify to even serve no matter volunteer. They'll learn when recruiting collapses and it ain't "wokeness."

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis.
And this is what the White House is focused on.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?
If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.
