ChatGPT may start alerting authorities about youngsters considering suicide, says CEO

Sam Altman raised fears that as many as 1,500 people a week could be discussing taking their own lives with the chatbot before doing so. The chief executive of San Francisco-based OpenAI, which operates the chatbot with an estimated 700 million global users, said the decision to train the system so the authorities were alerted in such emergencies was not yet final.

Sony is rolling out a PlayStation parental controls mobile app

Sony is finally catching up to something Nintendo and Microsoft have had for years. The new PlayStation Family app mainly serves as a mobile extension of on-console parental controls. However, parents also get a few extra perks in the mobile version. The app includes a "thoughtfully guided" onboarding process. (I imagine many people will prefer their phone or tablet over the console for that.) Once things are set up, parents can do everything they already could on the console.

TCL gives parents a monochrome mode to combat kids' phone addiction

Like other recent Nxtpaper phones, the key selling point is a dedicated button that activates Max Ink Mode, which switches the matte display to a monochromatic mode that looks a lot like E Ink and is easier on the eyes for reading. The appeal to parents will be an extra way to manage screentime: not just a binary on / off, but an in-between option that's better for kids' eyes and not particularly well-suited to playing Fortnite. It extends the device's battery life, too.
