It’s a core feature of LLMs. If we celebrate their ability to comfort or advise, we must also confront their capacity to mislead or manipulate. We’ve built machines that sound like they care. Now, we must ensure that they don’t hurt the very people who turn to them for support. That means giving emotionally responsive AI not just more capabilities, but clearer boundaries.”</p><p><a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/ZivBenZion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ZivBenZion</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/neurosciene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurosciene</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/GuardRails" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GuardRails</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/control" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>control</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/WhiteCollar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteCollar</span></a> <<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-02031-w" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/d41586-025</span><span class="invisible">-02031-w</span></a>> (paywall) / <<a href="https://archive.md/IyddU" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.md/IyddU</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>></p>

I'll share my lists once they have grown enough 😀</p><p>- if you're not a Neuroscientist, this account will probably not follow you, but you are totally free to follow it, and also to tell us about you and any questions you might have about neuroscience!</p><p>- if you want to learn about neuroscience, I will try to post beginner-level explanations with the hashtag <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/NeuroForNewbies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NeuroForNewbies</span></a>.
