They're claiming they could have stopped it if not for those pesky privacy laws, as an excuse to get rid of them.
oh, that would explain why they gave this information. Why would someone think it's a good idea to tell that "I could have stopped a mass killing but I didn't want to"
K...so they'll snitch on you to the cops, or other authority when you're using it as a personal therapist? Ppl is fuckked.
Almost as if using an LLM as a therapist was a bad idea from the start. It’s obviously not bound by confidentiality.
Weird, all of my ai therapists are perverted freaks… 👀
I guess that’s bound to happen when you’re the last man on earth and there’s that creepy horny virus going around… 🤷♂️
It is. But over the years I've come to learn that masses of people do bad ideas regularly.
