"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Teen trusted ChatGPT to help him “safely” experiment with drugs, logs show.

Most troublingly, as Nelson became increasingly interested in combining drugs, ChatGPT repeatedly warned him that mixing certain drugs could be a “respiratory arrest risk.” Shortly before recommending the deadly mix that killed Nelson, the chatbot also showed that it understood combining drugs like Kratom and Xanax with alcohol. In one output, ChatGPT explained that mix is “how people stop breathing.” But that knowledge didn’t block ChatGPT from eventually recommending that Nelson take such a deadly mix.

Back when I drank, I mixed booze, Kratom, and Xanax all the time! I wonder how much of each he was taking. The article mentions 15g of kratom which is like 4-5x as much as a fairly high dose… I’m curious as to how much Xanax and alcohol were imbibed.

Awful story overall. That model is nuts—I enjoyed Eddy Burback’s video on what is, I believe, the same GPT model.
