Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.

Take care. 💐

I’m surprised that chess.com isn’t right on this. It needs to be zero tolerance, all the way. Totally unacceptable behaviours.

I’ll watch the video later, when I have time.

until then, I hope anyone that sees this is able to be safe, and not be bothered by anyone.

If you listen closely it sounds kinda off... Is this AI slop?

Keep thinking that. It's your mouth that will be your worst enemy.

You could be right.

#6. I only listened to a bit or it and I thought the male voice sounded like it could be AI. I admit I only listened to a little bit of the video.

It wouldn’t surprise me, sadly, if women get harassed. The allegation against chess.com is that they don’t care about it.

While I agree with the title, this is clearly an AI audio fake, and it's posted in a video to try to get around the naming and shaming rule. The account is also fake at least in the sense that the avatar is not her/him, and hypocritically is designed for suckering in less-than-intelligent guys...to the tune of almost 1,800 "friends".

Theoretically any website with chats/direct messages/etc is not safe from this point of view

Any woman concerned about this should disable chat and messages except for friends

That’s not a solution, that’s a bandaid on a broken arm

Some men are harassing women, so we should get rid of those men, not the women

Ur good, I see how it could be taken that way. I was just saying that as there are people that do that on this sight, make sure you are not their victim, if everyond does it, they get bored and leave the sight.

There are women who are on staff, what does that have to do with anything?
