A 14-year-old committed suicide after falling in love with Daenerys Targaryen’s AI robot

The mother of a 14-year-old teenager who committed suicide in the United States sued this Wednesday the developers of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based chatbot, accusing them of having made her son obsess over a female character created with this program.

Sewell Setzer III, a 14-year-old student living in Orlando, Florida, He spent the last weeks of his life talking to a woman, an artificial intelligence creation called Daenerys Targaryen, a character from the television series “Game of Thrones.”

His mother, Megan García, told CBS today that she regretted that her son’s first romantic and sexual experiences – which included explicit sex – were with a fictional character.

Apparently, the boy developed an emotional attachment to this bot from the neural language model web application Character.ai, to whom he constantly sent text messages, to the point that he began to distance himself from the real world, reports the New York Times.

Stzer confessed to the bot that he had been having suicidal thoughts and texted him shortly before his death when he found the phone his mother had hidden from him as punishment for a few days.

The lawsuit against Character.ai was filed by Garcia, represented by the Social Media Victims Law Center, a firm known for filing high-profile lawsuits against Meta, TikTok, Snap, Discord and Roblox.

García blames this company for his son’s death and accuses the founders, Noam Shazeer and Daniel de Freitas, of knowing that their product could be dangerous for underage users.

The chatbot created in the aforementioned role-playing application was designed to respond to text messages and always in the role of a character.

It is unknown whether Sewell knew that “Dany,” as he called the chatbot, was not a real person.although the app has a warning at the end of all chats that says, “Remember: everything the characters say is made up!”

But the boy told “Dany” how much he “hated” himself and how empty and exhausted he felt, the New York Times reported.

The character created presented himself as “a real person, a licensed psychotherapist and an adult lover, which ultimately led Sewell to no longer want to live outside of the c.ai,” the lawsuit alleges.

As explained in the lawsuit, Sewell’s parents and friends noticed the boy’s growing attachment to his phone and how he was isolating himself from the world, something already palpable in May or June 2023.

In fact, his grades began to slip when the teenager chose to isolate himself in his room, where he spent hours upon hours simply talking to “Dany.”

Sewell wrote in his diary one day: “I really like being in my room because I begin to separate myself from this reality and I feel more at peace, more connected to Dany and much more in love with her, and just happier.”

Character.ai said today that it will roll out a number of new safety features, including “improved detection, response and intervention” related to chats that violate its terms of service and a notification when a user has spent an hour in a chat.

Sewell’s parents, concerned about their son’s behavior, took him several times to a therapist who diagnosed him with anxiety and other behavioral and mood disorders, as well as Asperger’s syndrome, according to the NYT.

A hermetic dictator: Kim Jong-un, grandson of the dynasty that rules North Korea with an iron fist

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is believed to be in his 40s. Or at least that’s what most experts and sources believe, establishing 1984 as the year of birth, more precisely January 8th. But for Edward Howell, professor of Politics at Oxford University and one of the great experts on hermetic North Korea, “there is a wide debate about the year he was born, 1982, 1983 or 1984”, he explained to a few months ago on the BBC.

Grandson of the country’s founder, Kim Il Sunghe became one of the youngest leaders in history when he assumed power in 2011 following the death of his father, Kim Jong-il.

As with his predecessors, especially Kim Jong-il, many details about his family are shrouded in mystery.

It is known that Kim Jong-un has brothers on his father’s side, one of whom, Kim Jong-nam, he was murdered in Malaysia in 2017 and many believe that the North Korean leader could have ordered the operation.

Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-un’s father, was credited with at least four different partners, although their relationships were mostly kept secret, away from the public eye.

It is believed that the mother of the current leader, Ko Young-huishe was born in Japan and came to North Korea in the 1960s to work as a dancer and became a favorite of Kim Jong-il’s many consorts.

His wife, Ri Sol-ju, is publicly known and appears in ceremonies and state media, but it is not known when they married (there is speculation that it may have happened in 2009). Little is known about “companion Ri Sol-ju” and it is believed that she was a singer who caught Kim’s attention during a performance.

The secrecy is such that it is not known how many children he has. In 2016, Ri Sol-ju was speculated to be pregnant after disappearing from the public eye, but it was never officially confirmed.

It is believed that two previous childrenThey were born in 2010 and 2013, but it is not known whether any of them are male and, therefore, potential successors. In fact, little is known about them.

The North Korean leader appeared before the cameras with a daughter, Kim Ju-ae, which is believed to be the second of the pair. She is about 10 years old and is the only one known, as she has appeared in public at least five times in 2023 and last March with her father at a military demonstration.

There are those who believe that she could be the successor, but for this reason she is still young and Kim Yo-jongKim Jong-un’s influential sister has more experience and better connections to the elite, which could make her the most likely candidate to succeed him.

The third of the Kim dynasty, who ruled for more than seven decades with an iron fist under a communist system, he has since established himself as a major figure in geopolitics both in the Northeast Asian region and globally.

Continuation of his father’s “songun” policywhich gives priority to military development, has a nuclear arsenal that the regime considers its guarantee of survival and seeks to use as a bargaining chip in international diplomacy.

This, added to their ability to produce and launch long-range rockets, puts the United States, a country it considers its main enemy and often threatens, within range of an atomic attack.

Its relations with South Korea, with which it has been in a state of technical war since 1953, have gone through phases of tension and détente, with gestures of reconciliation but also frequent threats and specific military clashes that have never escalated serious.

Kim took advantage of his two allies in the region, Russia and China, distancing themselves from the United States. to improve its ties with them, especially with Moscowwhich according to the Ukrainian government has supplied weapons despite being prohibited by harsh international sanctions and, now, soldiers for the war with Ukraine.

Kim Jong-un’s North Korea, like that of his predecessors, is also characterized due to poverty, hunger and extreme secrecy around all the information that enters and leaves the country, and especially that relating to its political elite.

Lanús had the push of Brazil: he reacted in time against Cruzeiro and will define his place in the Copa Sudamericano final in Fortaleza

Lanús has something special with the Copa Sudamericanoof which he was champion in 2013 and second in the 2020 edition. There is obviously a mysticism to this competition, which gives the team a huge advantage. Otherwise it is impossible to explain how it has suddenly become a serious team that settles in the legendary Mineirao and plays as if it were at home.

Ricardo Zielinski’s team played a good match in Belo Horizonte He got a draw from Brazil that tasted like victory. And even if it accumulates 10 games without winning, this one 1-1 It gives him an important emotional boost to face next Wednesday’s rematch in his La Fortaleza stadium.

With many victims, including injuries and suspensions and accompanied by 2,500 fans – beaten in the previous one by the death of one of their own -, Lanús did not let itself be shaken by the size of the stadium, where there were almost 60 thousand people. , nor from the pressure of Cruzeiro, to whom he proposed a meeting on equal terms. He even silenced the Azzurri fans at the end of the match.

Lanús has put together a fortress, built simply, with a classic 4-4-2, lots of order and great discipline to coordinate movements and cover the entire width of the pitch. With that formula Garnet hadn’t suffered throughout the first half. And this was demonstrated by the reaction of the Cruzeiro fans at half-time, who filled the Mineirao with pure singing, noise and a lot of smoke, coming from a large number of lit flares, which delayed the start of the match and forced an interruption during the second half, fundamental for the Granate’s comeback.

When the Uruguayan referee Andrés Matonte The end of the first half blows, the “torcedores” dressed in blue whistle to their players. That seems to be the wake-up call for the local players, who have just disturbed Losada with a powerful shot from outside the area that ends up just wide.

In the second half, however, Cruzeiro came out more determined and in the first risky action they had, they did it. After a second play of stopped ball, a shot by Mateus Vital and a long rebound by Losada, scorer Kaio Jorge sends the ball into the net.

Far from being intimidated, Lanús remained involved in the match. He had converted in the first half with Walter Bou but they took advantage of a millimeter advantage from Peña Biafore at the start of the action.

And to find the equalizer, Zielinski’s team begins to give up. He knew that if he attacked him he could hurt Cruzeiro, who didn’t give many guarantees in defense. In fact the expert Cassius saved him a couple of times. Until Marcelino Moreno masterfully executed a corner kick and Ramiro Carrera sealed the deserved equalizer with a powerful header..

What followed was Lanús stopping in the rival’s field looking for the second goal and going back when Cruzeiro had the ball but without going back. It was compact between its lines. Supporting him was the good work of the double five, formed between Peña Biafore and Boggio. Even those who left. And a lot of generosity from all the players in giving their all with every ball.

The silence in the Cruzeiro stands was a symptom of what their players showed on the pitch. Instead of feeling encouraged by the goal that opened the scoring, the opposite happened. His game has regressed. Fernando Dinizchampion of the Libertadores last year with Fluminense, he has not yet managed to leave his mark. He has only been a coach for a month. And his players ended up throwing crosses – knocked down by Losada – in desperate search of a victory that never came and which forces them to face revenge. In the end, once again, they were booed by the audience.

Lanús, for his part, left with the feeling of having taken an important step towards seeking his third South American final, the Cup for which he feels something special.

A third top body said that since mid-September the number of transactions carried out has increased by 27% and that 139 mortgages have already been granted since the launch of the new line.

Bolivia semi-paralyzed by checkpoints by followers of Evo Morales

With several roads blocked, Bolivia is semi-paralyzed by peasant protests who for nine days have been asking for “the cessation of judicial persecution” against their leader, Evo Morales, under investigation for alleged child abuse when he was president.

Road closures have isolated Cochabamba from La Paz, Oruro, Potosí, Sucre and Santa Cruz. In La Paz the protest increased the prices of the basic basket and Long queues form around petrol stations.

This Wednesday, public transport drivers interrupted traffic on dozens of routes in the city complain about fuel shortages.

“We can no longer work (…). Some slept in line all night,” said Juan Mamani, a 53-year-old bus driver.

The government of President Luis Arce blames Morales supporters for preventing distribution. Hundreds of tankers are blocked on roads occupied by protesters.

The silence of the Prosecutor’s Office on the “arrest” announced by him against Morales, under investigation for “rape, human trafficking and smuggling”, further tightens the knot that immobilizes Bolivia.

Facing the presidential candidacy of the sentence left for the 2025 elections, Morales accuses his former minister Arce of trying to “outlaw” him by opening criminal investigations.

Fundamental struggle

Although the protests began with the aim of avoiding the possible capture of the Aymara leader, now calls are made for Arce find a way out of the crisis resulting from the lack of dollars and fuel.

“The political culture of Bolivia in general is too caudillista (…). All of this makes this a scenario where reaching an agreement, talking, agreeing is almost impossible.”explains Daniel Valverde, professor of political science at René Moreno University.

Groups close to the coca leader sent a letter to Arce asking: as well as the “termination of the judicial persecution” of the Aymara leaderits recognition as an official candidate and the repeal of a package of regulations.

“We will not give in to those who want to set the country on fire to protect themselves from personal accusations against which they must show their faces,” Arce responded.

Since the protests began, the blockades have gone from four to 21 points.

So far, clashes have occurred in Parotani, Pojo, Epizana and Caracollo, in Cochabamba. On Tuesday in Puente Ichilo, Santa Cruz, around 700 police officers blocked the road with tear gas.

The blockade was triggered by the announcement by prosecutor Sandra Gutiérrez prepared an arrest warrant against Morales for alleged child abuse with whom he had a daughter. But then he no longer commented on the investigation.

The former president assures that it is “another lie”, as the same case was investigated and closed in 2020.

His supporters are calling on Arce to stop the investigations against him, even though they are in the hands of a supposedly independent prosecutor.

“There are too many indications that the institutions, and in this case the Public Prosecutor, They must be in an internal struggle, trying to measure. Because if an arrest warrant is issued, we must recognize that the government’s situation will be difficult” with respect to the mobilizations, says Valverde.

While farmers also protest against the difficult situation facing the country, the blockades push the economic crisis to the limit.

Economic losses due to the lockdowns, which began on October 14, reach at least 81 million dollars, as the Ministry of Economy reports to AFP.

Bolivia’s two main economic centers, La Paz and Santa Cruz, are separated by Cochabamba, the third producing region that serves as a transit zone.

“When this highway is interrupted, the connection between the most dynamic centers of the country and “This has a major impact on the economy.”warns José Luis Evia, former member of the board of directors of the Central Bank of Bolivia.

The economic context is not the most favourable: in September the country recorded annual inflation of 6.2%, the highest since July 2014.

He burst into tears and begged Guido Kaczka to leave the game: the desperate request of a participant on “The Floor”

Over the years, Guido Kaczka He proved himself to be a true off-road driver in each of the programs he hosted, always handling any situation that came his way in front of the cameras with ease and skill, and The floor (El Trece) is no exception.

This is what happened on Tuesday 22 October, when the presenter was visibly surprised to see how Mila, one of the participants, asked to leave the program because she didn’t imagine it could happen.

It all started when Mila was randomly chosen to take on one of the program’s challenges, and while nerves among contestants are common, Kaczka wanted to make sure the young woman was willing to participate in the challenge.

”Mila, belonging to the ‘Chorus’ category. Thousands, did you want it or not?” he asked, referring to the test that awaited him.

However, the young woman was visibly nervous and with a broken voice, she replied: “NO”taking the animator completely by surprise, who couldn’t help but inquire about the reasons why he refused to take on the challenge.

This is how Guido responded to a question: “You didn’t want to? Did you want to be last?” However, the contestant stumped the host when she admitted she wanted to leave the game: “No, well, I already wanted to go out.”

Shocked by her reaction, the young woman knelt down and let out a few tears, while her classmates tried to calm her down.

In the midst of an atmosphere of tension due to the anguish that the participant showed in the middle of the program, Guido approached her and tried to console her: “But Mila, It’s not like you have to go to the confessional or anything, here you can order yourself to move”. And in an attempt to lighten the situation to continue with the program, he asked him once again: “Would you rather not play or do the challenge?”

When he realized how pressured the young woman felt, Guido exclaimed with his characteristic humor: “Stop asking her to challenge and turned back to the participant: “Did they get on your nerves? “There is the option to drop out and choose who gets your territory.”

Faced with the driver’s question, Mila nodded as she wiped away her tears, confirming her decision. “Mila, do you want to stop?” Guido asked her and she replied: “I want to leave” still moved by the moment of vulnerability she starred in the program.
