For AI to glean this information about the daughter, it had to be out there on the internet right? She is 10yo, what other information about this child is out there for all to see and AI to potentially abuse and mis-use?

Says it all: When I asked Mayer if it’s somewhat depressing to imagine a frictionless future when birthday celebrations, holiday gifts and family vacations are planned by A.I., she seemed caught off guard. “I haven’t really thought that through,” she said.

Seriously! These people have truly lost touch with reality! Imagine not being able to say one nice thing about your own kid 🤯

These people aren't human anymore. They have mutated themselves into subhumans.

I have some doubts that they consider themselves part of humanity.

One of the best parts of the podcast of Xbox people was when @thevowel.com & Stepto (RIP) would discuss Redmond's "Reality Distortion Field", specifically the open issue where a MS engineer screamed about how Xbox wouldn't work right on MS Proxy Server. What seems normal "inside" is not normal.

Not ready for prime time?

That poor child. Having everything she wants and nothing that she needs.

Do you think these millionaire/billionaire parents spend much time with their children?

To be a billionaire is to be a narcissistic sociopath. Exceptions: Melinda Gates & MacKenzie Scott. Any others?

By contrast the guy who said he was a "performer" but wouldn't say what kind (clearly he was a sex worker of some stripe) got thunderous applause. It was a proud night to be a Portlander 😆

It's certainly not new that managers would have their assistants handle personal stuff - guarantee more than one of these has been done by an executive secretary - but the managers weren't bragging about it interviews

In all fairness I have a friend that works in AI at Google and has a daughter he has a warm close relationship with. Let’s try not to generalize off edge cases.

this is... horrifying. also, confirming of the emerging sentiments wrt the *reality* that pseudo-reality AI is stupid. would most definitely be bullied on the playground of REAL life!! so is - & would - marissa mayer, fwiw.

The fact the child's mother hadn't a clue about ANYTHING about her kid is fairly appalling - the brat IS after all supposed to become a contributing member of society. That's not happening with this one.

I think it’s more interesting that she had to ask AI for help in praising her own daughter.

"What she felt like [was] an impossible task....." Telling about their own child. These people are dimwits.

She couldn't come up with 3 bullet points of her own, about her own daughter. Seriously?

We’ve gone from hearing stories about how tech execs were keeping the devices they were making away from their children to letting those devices raise their children in astonishingly quick time. For those against regulation of this industry, pay attention

Dad didn't do the interview, you dumbfuck.

Thank you for putting it into words. It's like these people are a different species.

"it came b💥ck and was like" . . . 🚀 ( ´ཀ` )ྀི blehh "STFU" (ಠ ⌓ ಠ) This is stoopid... ٩(^ᗜ^ )وʱªʱªʱª ´- 🔥모🔥🔥🔥

Yeah, you’re right! I really admire your good sense of humor, and you have such a nice profile. If you don’t mind, I’d love to get a follow from you. Thanks, and I hope we can connect! 😊

As somebody who spent some time on the other side of Valley ( as mechanical engineer in Chevron then hq in San Ramon) ,most of those types i met ( in 2010) were flat out frauds & conman. Even those with actual CS degrees,not to mention pretendengineer dropouts etc.

He had a trust fund bit enough to live well without working, but worked anyway to fit in with his friends. Sometimes he would just give his trust fund money away to people he thought needed it more. He was a bit weird, but seemed alright. My bet is he was happier than his parents.

“To Serve Man” comes to mind for some reason

One of the saddest posts ever. Just amazingly sad.

I think she's making it up. When was the last time an elementary school asked a parent to summarize how special their kid is? They may ask the student, or the other students, or even the teachers - but that question is not going home to the Mom to answer.

If I'd told my 10 yo,.now 27, daughter this, she would have given me a 5 minute long, zero pause dressing down. I'd.still be getting over it now. "Diverged" is an interesting word for "disappeared"

Just ask the nanny or babysitter...clearly they spend more time with her child than Mommy the dearest

"even tech CEOs use AI just like you and I!"

I hope the teacher learns about this. She can assign another question: What is your daughter Marielle's name? is it a) Marielle b) empathetic c) creative d) animal lover

I can't remember if they did this on The Simpsons, or not yet.

They are no longer human. More like an invasive species. You know what we do with invasive species? Remove them. Definition: “An invasive species is a species that causes harm to the environment, economy, or human, animal, or plant health”

my mother never lived in Silicon Valley and i doubt she could have thought of three things about me she liked that were real and not made up

Marissa will also be another parent who doesn’t know why her kids are no contact as adults.

Agreed. That’s some sorry parenting.

That poor child.

It's a cult

End these people. They don't deserve wealth. Tax the shit outta them.

Surely this female engineering pioneers response was “yikes, that’s a very stereotyped response. Feminism needs to trained into LLMs”?

My first thought was that her kid is going to see this.

we’re so fucked.

Dazzle AI is based on your photographs. It's not surprising that the response was a simplistic "empathic, creative and an animal lover." Mayer likely has pictures of her daughter hugging someone, showing off an art project, and playing with pets.

To be fair, there’s a reasonably good chance Marissa Mayer had never actually met her own daughter. 🫠

As a parent who has been in this exact position: YIKES! It really is a very hard question to answer, but that’s the point. Teachers want insight into how the kids are being supported at home and their other most important relationship. Instead of giving insight, AI Mommy abdicated her parenting.

marissa or her staff invented this story for the press. silicon valley types NEVER use their own product, and certainly not when it involves their own children.

So, so sad. A mom needing artificial help to describe her 10 year old!!!

Tell me you don't hang out with your kid much without saying you don't hang out with your kid much...? Or has her brain just lost the capacity to think on its own.

She couldn't write 3 simple things about her own child without help? That's a serious disconnect from her daughter.

Not an attempt to target her for being a woman, but if you're a CEO, you're not raising your kids at all anyway. You've got people you're paying to do that.

What that shows you that Silicon Valley died in 08. And resurrected as Silly Con Valley,driven by 0% money to VC ghouls and congregation of greedy scum from entire planet. The real ticker that those are somehow simultaneously also some of the fkin stupidest humans ever. Thats a real insult.

At least she didn't ask Grok. She would probably have found the results upsetting.

Thank you!

Turning brains into mush.

Yes.

I'm going to keep posting this until someone notices: "Funny how that happens when you make folks rich, famous and adored for their 'genius' in creating 'better than human' circuitry. It's almost like they start thinking *nothing* real has value. 😏"

“Marissa looks forward to seeing a hologram of her daughter soon.”

And I'm a 50 year old man that is just recently starting evaluations myself. It's almost like the change in our national food systems back in the 70s have really fucked people up.

Not only voluntarily but apparently enthusiastically.

Reminds me of the experiment where they used a wire dummy of a monkey to raise a monkey

That the AI knows her own daughter better than she does (and even then, just with vague platitudes that could describe most kids) doesn’t instil me with confidence

Just have your nanny do it! Duh!

Feeling overwhelmed about the range and complexity for answers about a 10 year old is a wild admission. Literally just be around one for 5 minutes. That's the depth of their human experience

She's just displaying the intellectual laziness that these people in silicone valley hope to live in forever, while creating a stupid society that deems their individual idiocy superior over those who buy the bullshit they sell....

That's the strength of AI thought - never knowingly original, never surprising, unless they are "hallucinating", i.e. wrong.

These people have lost their ability to participate in a relationship.

Swear to God, the article itself reads like it’s ChatGPT written.

Her daughter must feel so special that a chatbot noticed.

I know nothing about my kids so my AI bot has to parent for me. 🙄

ground breaking shit if you're a gerbil.

You got that right Leah.

Well, in fairness, naming 3 things that make your child special IS an incredibly daunting task. 🫤🙄

😒

fam member helping me with an issue suggested I consult ai..I texted back what do you mean comes back check with ChatGPT Claude Gemini? let them know I've been solving my problems all my life..research possible answers, choose answer, implement correct answer wth..they have 3 teens worried😐for them

well put
