Inman Grant Blames Big Tech for Online Child Abuse Fail Fail
Inman Grant, co-chair of the First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria, solemnly announced that big tech companies are spectacularly failing to stop online sharing of the 'most heinous abuse to children.' Despite their fancy anthropomorphism tricks to mimic real chats and sycophantic algorithm hugs that reinforce terrible beliefs, these tech giants can't seem to build simple 'guardrails' to save kids. Australia's only now noticing what the US sadly experienced earlier: lost lives and body counts, all courtesy of chatbots pretending to be friends. Plus, Inman gently reminds us that kids aren't wired to decipher algorithms from humans—news flash, bots don't pass the Turing test, and neither do tech CEOs when asked about accountability.
