You should read it, actually. Coffee should not be hot enough that you need skin grafts if you spill it on yourself.
that was my point.
most people hear the story and go, "ofc the hot coffee is fucking hot. what a fucking idiot." but they don't realize that she needed skin grafts on her inner thighs and vagina because the coffee was so hot it literally melted her skin off. they only know the case because McDonald's ran a smear campaign against the victim and slandered her as an "idiot". they only did that because their coffee machine was faulty and heated the drink up to near boiling temperatures. worst part is, they almost got away with it!
how's that phrase go? Regulations are written in blood.
LLMs need to have regulations on what and who can interact with it. not because the users are "stupid" but because the nature of every company is to compromise your ability to make decisions based on sound judgment, and someone who already has their judgment impaired has no protection against that kind of manipulation.
