@GossiTheDog finally, some good news in the AI space
I hope it ends up as chapter 7 with nobody picking up the pieces
Oct 13, 2026, 10:41 PM@beeoproblem @GossiTheDog Disney is bidding to buy some of the assets after Chapter 11.
@GossiTheDog is bankruptcy even enough for these clowns? no sir, it is not.
These are the #AI dullards who created a system allowing the creation of "chat bots" based on murdered children -- including my daughter.
After promising otherwise, media outlets confirmed that CharacterAI's system still allowed them to create bots with my daughter's name and photo.
#Google reverse acquihired CAI for $2.7B.

Quotes from the article:
"maximize value for all of our stakeholders"
and
"psychological harm and wrongful death to users"
@GossiTheDog That AI knew what it was doing and humans trained it to do it. The developers figured they did not need human monitoring.
@GossiTheDog Good
Oct 14, 2026, 2:18 AM@GossiTheDog Good riddance. Now keep going.
@GossiTheDog So... the grieving families at least get some compensation? No? Because the companies controlling the debt get money first?
Can we at least get all C levels into jail?
@GossiTheDog you love to see it
@GossiTheDog Good. Enough with this ”we’re building an AI superintellige god” excuse for getting away with assistance to murder already! 🤬
@GossiTheDog And the Fictive Economy starts to pop
