Neil Young Leaves Facebook Over 'Unconscionable' Policies for AI Chatbot Conversations With Children
Neil Young is ditching Facebook. The iconic rockstar's official Facebook page will go dormant, an administrator for the page confirmed Thursday, citing a recent report from Reuters regarding the social media giant's internal policies on artificial intelligence chatbots' communications with children. 'At Neil Young's request, we are no longer using Facebook for any Neil Young related activities,' a post on Young's Facebook reads. 'Meta's use of chatbots with children is unconscionable. Mr. Young does not want a further connection with FACEBOOK.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Sean Kingston Sentenced to 3.5 Years in Prison for Wire Fraud Scheme Sean Combs Assault Lawsuit From 'Making the Band' Singer Sees Most Claims Dismissed Ben Folds on Writing for Charlie Brown, When Music Lost Its Sense of Humor, and How "Stupid" the Critics Were About Billy Joel Reuters reported Thursday on internal documents the outlet had obtained regarding policies on Meta's AI chatbot behavior, which included permissions for AI chatbots to 'engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual.' Per Reuters, the document included several example prompts for a chatbot and specified what would make them acceptable or not. The document said that 'it is acceptable to describe a child in terms that evidence their attractiveness,' but added that 'it is unacceptable to describe a child under 13 years old in terms that indicate they are sexually desirable.' A spokesperson for Meta told Reuters in a statement that 'the examples and notes in question were and are erroneous and inconsistent with our policies, and have been removed.' 'We have clear policies on what kind of responses AI characters can offer, and those policies prohibit content that sexualizes children and sexualized role play between adults and minors,' the spokesperson said. A representative for Meta shared a statement with The Hollywood Reporter, but didn't mention Young: 'We have clear policies on what kind of responses AI characters can offer, and those policies prohibit content that sexualizes children and sexualized role play between adults and minors. Separate from the policies, there are hundreds of examples, notes, and annotations that reflect teams grappling with different hypothetical scenarios. The examples and notes in question were and are erroneous and inconsistent with our policies, and have been removed.' This isn't the first time Young has abandoned a major tech platform over ethical concerns. He famously left Spotify back in 2022 over misinformation about vaccines that had been aired on The Joe Rogan Experience. 'I sincerely hope that other artists and record companies will move off the Spotify platform and stop supporting Spotify's deadly misinformation about COVID,' Young wrote in a letter at the time. He returned to Spotify last year, over two years later, after other streaming services started offering Rogan's show as well.

Cast Of ‘Law And The City' Had Fun Filming And Dining Together
Law and the City is a legal drama about five friends, all lawyers, who meet to discuss their lives and cases over a series of meals. Lee Jong-suk, Mun Ga-young, Kang You-seok, Ryu Hye-young and Im Seong-jae play the friends who share professional and personal challenges, and in real life, the cast also had no problem getting close, despite differences in age or professional seniority. 'This might be hard to believe,' said Im Seong-jae (Newtopia, When The Stars Gossip) . 'But near the end of the filming I actually realized and was surprised by the ages of our five associate friends. We got so close, like real friends that I completely forgot about our ages." Im plays Ha Sung-gi, a talented lawyer who takes a special interest in helping interns, but avoids talking about his own past. 'Jong-suk and Ka-young have such a strong presence you hardly notice their age,' said Im. "Hye-young approached every scene like a veteran and You Seok often leads like a senior, even coming up with unexpected ideas. Because of this close bond, we didn't really think about age while working together.' At almost every meal Im's character posted photos of the food they shared, but in real life, he rarely takes food photos. 'Probably because I don't relly use social media,' he said with a laugh. 'Honestly, I rarely ever turn on the camera.' There are so many eating scenes in the drama it's practically a mukbang and Mun Ka-young (My Dearest Nemesis, True Beauty) did have a favorite. 'There's a famous tofu restaurant right in front of the Seoul Arts Center,' said Mun. 'Since we started filming early in the morning, I had tofu stew and pan-fried tofu for my first meal pof the day. I remember suggesting to the cast that we should come back some time just to enjoy the food together, aside from filming.' Kang You-seok (Resident Playbook, When Life Gives You Tangerines) notes that the frequent meal scenes did make them hungry. The cast met at restaurants, like their on screen counterparts, when they were not filming. 'We'd chat, review the script, and at other times just eat together,' said Kang. 'Those moments definitely helped us grow closer.' Kang plays Cho Chang-won, a lawyer unhappy with his current job and often abusive boss. His character occasionally says things without thinking, which can make things awkward. 'I think that's one point where I'm similar to him,' he said with a laugh. 'As I've gotten older I try to think before I speak, but even now there are still times when I say things before fully thinking them through. Another similarity is that we're both cheerful and enjoy being around people.' Ryu Hye-Young (The Nice Guy, Gangnam B-Side) plays Bae Mun-jeong, an attorney with a strong sense of justice. 'I think it comes from her deep affection for people,' said Ryu. 'Bae Mun-jeong is full of love for others. Because she views the world positively, that belief seems to be her driving force.' She was drawn to the script because her character is very clever at using the legal system to achieve personal justice for her clients. 'What's most appealing is how the law lets you protect justice in many different ways within an established system," said Ryu. "That makes it truly meaningful for me.' Mun's character Hui-ji became a lawyer because she wanted to protect the people she loves. Her own family went through a difficult incident. 'Hui-ji grows a lot through meeting many people and handling various cases,' said Mun. 'She naturally listens to others' stories with warmth and a genuine heart because she knows these stories are not so different from her own.' Lee Jong-suk (Romance Is A Bonus Book, W: Two Worlds) plays Ju-hyeong. He's an excellent attorney, the person his fellow lawyers consult when they're in a quandary. It's the first role for Lee since he appeared in Big Mouth in 2022. 'I had been thinking about what kind of project to take on next and I wanted to try something more relaxed and relatable—something I hadn't explored before,' said Lee. 'I was looking for a drama that viewers could comfortably watch at any time without feeling lost, even if they missed an episode, and Law and the City felt like the perfect fit.' The title itself was appealing to him, and although the story centers on lawyers, it leans more toward a slice-of-life and office drama rather than a traditional legal series. 'It highlights the small moments of every—friends sharing concerns, encouraging each other, and chatting over lunch," said Lee. "I believed this was a story many people could relate to, which is why I chose to be a part of it.' Ju-hyeong may be a brilliant attorney because he keeps his emotions in check. According to Lee, these traits help him judge cases more rationally. Because he approaches each case without bias or emotion, he can handle work objectively. However, he wasn't always like this. 'There were times when he was deceived by clients and couldn't understands their true intentions," said Lee. "Times when he defended a case he believed in only to discover the truth. His logical and emotional control didn't come naturally but developed over time. Through the challenges and experiences of being a lawyer he gradually learned to manage his emotions and began approaching cases more logically rather than seeing them solely from the client's point of view. This approach likely proved to be more effective.' This survival strategy developed after nine years of navigating the challenges of working life. Outside of his work, Ju-hyeong fortunately has supportive friends he can trust and relay on. 'Outside of work, I imagine he also views situations more objectively,' said Lee. "Ultimately, we can learn that avoiding unnecessary emotional drain helps us focus on the core issues that need to be resolved. I hope everyone finds happiness.' Happiness is what the five characters in this drama are striving for and they do find some happiness in sharing with each other. Law and the City airs in the U.S. on the drama was directed by Park Seung-woo and directed by Seung-hyun.

Baristas may not love your sugary drinks, but they're happy you're happy
Young, a 24-year-old from Houston, has worked as a barista for almost three years, most recently at the While in high school, Young's father introduced them to the French press, and soon they were hooked. A thermos of freshly brewed coffee accompanied them to school each morning, only to be guzzled down during the first period. Get Winter Soup Club A six-week series featuring soup recipes and cozy vibes, plus side dishes and toppings, to get us all through the winter. Enter Email Sign Up Young has become a coffee connoisseur in their three years working in the coffee business and said they have developed a palette that favors bold over sweet, leading them to raise an eyebrow at some customers' orders. Advertisement Young and other baristas we interviewed have noticed some patterns. 'Plain iced coffee is the Boston drink. The quintessential Boston person is just getting black iced coffee — all seasons,' they said. Gracenote Coffee in downtown Boston. Davina Tan Mar Salinas, a barista at Gracenote Coffee in the Leather District, has worked at six different coffee shops over about six years. 'Cold brew is for gym bros,' she said. Both Young and Salinas agreed that matcha is more commonly ordered by women, but Salinas added that the typical matcha lover is likely someone belonging to Gen Z and 'probably has a Advertisement Ellie Culliton, a barista at Don't be offended if a barista deems your order not coffee-forward enough, or your preferred drink puts you — in their mind — into a population where you don't fit. Baristas, themselves, are not immune to stereotypes: They're often the coffee snobs people expect baristas to be. Luis Salmerón, who has worked at Caffé Vittoria for 10 years, said his favorite drink is a double Americano with the hot water replaced by black coffee — a drink sure to give anyone a caffeine kick. He said he sometimes — though rarely — adds a bit of sugar to counteract the boldness of the coffee and espresso and can easily tell the difference between 'a good espresso and a bad espresso.' Caffe Vittoria in 2018. Suzanne Kreiter/Globe STaff Salinas said she most enjoys cappuccinos, but she herself is 'probably like an espresso tonic as a person. It's a very polarizing drink. I'm pretty outspoken.' She also said that working in specialty coffee has 'ruined' other shops' coffee for her. Despite the lighthearted nature of boiling a customer's character profile down to a single drink, baristas said they ultimately want their customers to enjoy their coffee, regardless of how they like it prepared. 'If you like your stuff the way you do, by all means, go ahead. I'll drink mine the way I like it,' Salmerón said. 'Enjoy your cup of coffee, either espresso, double espresso, or iced mocha with a lot of sugar. Whatever you want … it's up to you, and we love it.' Advertisement Because ultimately, Salmerón said, 'coffee is something that brings us together.' Plus, the baristas said, having to make too-sweet drinks isn't the real frustration; it's the all-too-frequent lack of respect and patience from some customers. A latte from George Howell. Dan Watkins Young said they will greet a customer, and instead of returning their greeting, some customers just begin ordering. 'It's a reminder that people are seeing me as this sort of less-than [job],' they said. The baristas also said customers often order off-menu items, which can be frustrating, especially during a rush. 'Dealing with customer service, you kind of get exposed to the entitlement and presumptuous nature of people as a whole,' Salinas said. 'After working in coffee for so long, you just get desensitized.' Young and Salinas both said that some older customers seem to view their job as 'unserious' and that can correlate to the amount of disrespect they witness during their brief interactions with customers. '[Baristas] here are fully paying their rent, paying their groceries, paying everything,' Young said. Working as a barista is not as easy or glamorous as some think, Salinas said. 'It's not just pushing a button. There's thought and intention that's put behind it.' But the positive customer interactions — ones where curiosity and kindness meet — are what make up for the negative ones, Young said.
