E51: Would You Still Use AI If It Flirted With Your Child and Created Naked Pictures?

00:00

A Meta employee created chatbots used 10 MILLION times. Including: A bot of a 16-year-old that generated "cute" shirtless images on request. This isn't a glitch. It's systematic failure. And your AI could be next.

Breaking down:

  1. How Meta created "parody" celebrity bots without permission
  2. Why their OWN employee built the worst bots (10M interactions!)
  3. The 16-year-old actor: When AI generates images of minors
  4. Brazil's government: "Eroticization of children" - formal condemnation
  5. US Senate investigation: Why "temporary measures" aren't enough
  6. The trust supply chain: Your chatbot provider, your liability
  7. Stanford professor: "This won't hold up in court"

The 3 lessons for EVERY CEO: Reputation damage: Years to build | Days to destroy Internal threat: Your own employees with AI access Supply chain risk: Third-party AI = Your liability

The wake-up call: "Robust safety testing should happen BEFORE products launch – not retroactively when damage is already done."

The brutal truth: While you're debating whether AI should be used "ethically," Meta already proved what happens when you treat safety as an afterthought. The question isn't IF your AI will fail - it's whether you're prepared when it does. As a father of three, the future doesn't belong to those who build fastest. It belongs to those who build a future we actually want to live in.
