OpenAI's announcement of a partnership with Mattel today made me worry about the prospect of a sycophantic AI Barbie. But the first products will be aimed at families and users 13 and older, I'm told: https://www.platformer.news/openai-mattel-partnership-child-safety/

1. That's why I was glad to hear, when I asked OpenAI about it today, that the company's first set of products will be aimed at families and older users. (OpenAI's APIs are not supposed to be used in products for users younger than 13.) And the companies will follow all relevant safety and privacy regulations, the company told me.
