Morning, fuckers.

So this person had the brilliant idea of outsourcing parenting to a LLM. Most of the people tell him why that's going to end badly but the historian in the room naturally wonders about their motivation.

Let me explain for the uninitiated:

A significant fraction of parents--mostly men because sexual division of labor--already nope out of caring for their kids. Even to the point of being permanently elsewhere. Going from "let the mother raise them" to "nah, a machine will do it better and maybe I can shape them the way I like" requires just a bit more misogyny and slop-induced brainwashing.

They were never parents in fact. They never thought of themselves as such. They're just sperm donors at best.

What concerns me is people who think so badly of themselves that they say "they will be better off without me". That comes not from becoming criminally negligent and emotionally stunted by patriarchy and capitalism but from depression bordering on suicidal ideation. Persons going through that want to be there for their kids but can't. Even if they're physically present they will be emotionally withdrawn and will do the bare minimum out of irrational fear of doing harm.

These persons and their children will be ideal victims for such a technology if it ever reaches the market.

Yes, I'm a motherfucking riot at parties, why do you ask?
