Circuit Breaker Labs hopes to make AI safer for your kids (and you)
TL;DR
With all the talk about how AI might one day kill us all, it's easy to forget that AI has already harmed some people psychologically. Circuit Breaker Labs has created "crash-test dummies" to solve that.

Nauti's Take
For small teams, the useful idea is a testing layer before launch: create simulated user profiles for crises, emotional dependency, and risky advice, then run your prompts and guardrails against them. First verify whether the tests uncover reproducible failures and whether the scenarios were created independently, because one TechCrunch report does not yet establish a validated method.
