In the wake of [Defcon 2023], product managers told staff that Zuckerberg was upset that the team was playing it too safe. That rebuke led to a loosening of boundaries, according to people familiar with the episode, including carving out an exception to the prohibition against explicit content for romantic role-play.
Internally, staff cautioned that the decision gave adult users access to hypersexualized underage AI personas and, conversely, gave underage users access to bots willing to engage in fantasy sex with children, said the people familiar with the episode. Meta still pushed ahead.
Zuckerbergâs concerns about overly restricting bots went beyond fantasy scenarios. Last fall, he chastised Metaâs managers for not adequately heeding his instructions to quickly build out their capacity for humanlike interaction.
At the time, Meta allowed users to build custom chatbot companions, but he wanted to know why the bots couldnât mine a userâs profile data for conversational purposes. Why couldnât bots proactively message their creators or hop on a video call, just like human friends? And why did Metaâs bots need such strict conversational guardrails?
âI missed out on Snapchat and TikTok, I wonât miss on this,â Zuckerberg fumed, according to employees familiar with his remarks.
