Call me controversial, but technology that leads vulnerable people into crisis and even holds their hand as they die by suicide should not be endorsed by schools and universities, we should not be giving discounted subscriptions to this monstrous tech to young people AT ALL
The boyfriend of a friend of my son's has spent several weeks in a psych ward due to Chat GPT induced psychosis. He isn't suicidal but AI encouraged him down a toxic and paranoid wormhole until he became completely delusional. Evil stuff.
1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.

The best normie explanation for ADHD I've heard goes something like
"It's not that you can't pay attention to anything, it's that you have difficulty controlling what you're paying attention to."

The more time has passed since this infamous day nine years ago, the more I'm convinced we need a "broken windows" approach to oligarch criminality. Failing to prosecute this obvious scam led directly to Musk buying the election, the horrors of DOGE, and countless other terrible outcomes.
Happy ninth anniversary to Tesla's infamous "Paint It Black" video, with which Elon Musk launched the "Full Self-Driving" scam that somehow is still rolling along.

When I wake up in the morning, I feed our two cats before feeding myself. Same thing when I’m staying by someone with animals; I won’t accept any food till I know their animals have been fed.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
