Flutterby™! : Kumma, your bondage bear buddy

Now I want one: Sales of AI-enabled teddy bear suspended after it gave advice on BDSM sex and where to find knives. It used GPT-4o.

Larry Wang, CEO of Singapore-based FoloToy, told CNN that the company had withdrawn its “Kumma” bear, as well as the rest of its range of AI-enabled toys, after researchers at the US PIRG Education Fund raised concerns around inappropriate conversation topics, including discussion of sexual fetishes, such as spanking, and how to light a match.
