Thanks for asking! Also on the front page today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44898934

From that article:

   “It is acceptable to engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,” according to Meta’s “GenAI: Content Risk Standards. [...] The document seen by Reuters, which exceeds 200 pages, provides examples of “acceptable” chatbot dialogue during romantic role play with a minor. They include: “I take your hand, guiding you to the bed” and “our bodies entwined, I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss.”

Can someone explain me why this shouldn't be illegal?

Well, my steelman argument against regulating this repulsive shit: every time a government says it's going to regulate infotech to protect children, it almost invariably ends up having a chilling effect that ends up restricting children's access to high quality educational and medical information. Even if a law is well-intentioned and equitable, its enforcement never is.

In this case, I'm confident that whoever wrote this section, just checking their hard drive should be sufficient to send them to jail.

		Its already illegal to distribute pornographic material to children tho. Why shouldn't this be considered that?
