Their teenage sons died by suicide. Now, they are sounding an alarm about AI chatbots
Matthew Raine and his wife, Maria, had no idea that their 16-year-old-son, Adam was deep in a suicidal crisis until he took his own life in April. Looking through his phone after his death, they stumbled upon extended conversations the teenager had had with ChatGPT.
Those conversations revealed that their son had confided in the AI chatbot about his suicidal thoughts and plans. Not only did the chatbot discourage him to seek help from his parents, it even offered to write his suicide note, according to Matthew Raine, who testified at a Senate hearing about the harms of AI chatbots held Tuesday.

What a sad story, @silvermouse. A reminder that advancements in AI should be thoroughly thought-through and that parents should always be aware of what their kids are doing online.

Despite what Ian and Bob think, I'm not one to die on a hill when I say something incorrect or am proven wrong.
That said, I've often said that voting is a waste of time because your vote never determines the outcome. Well I've been proven wrong (again, as many would say). A vote in Gerlach, NV ended in a tie.
In true Nevada fashion, the winner was determined by drawing for high card, which is a state law 😂

His death on the hill would be caused by actually climbing the hill.

Had to look it up to see what all the fuss was about. I’d love to see that technology come into some riding boots at a fraction of the cost. It would make for long trips through rain and cold a little nicer.

Trump suggested that the couple was killed because of “the anger” Rob Reiner caused in other people due to his opposition to the Republican president.
However, there is no evidence to suggest that this is the case, and the police have not provided any motive.
“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS,” Trump wrote.
“He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before,” the president wrote.
“May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”

Trump might have a Lib Derangement Syndrome... I don't see the connection between the killer's motives and the Reiners' political affiliation.

I think politicians should follow Australia's example and be banned from social media until they grow up. It is mostly used to disparage the "other" side and brag about what a great job they are doing.
2 -
Yet people keep running to social media to feed that disparagement. It’s all about the views, clicks, and likes. I don’t think politicians should be banned from it. I think the rest of society is what needs to grow up and stay away from it.

It just amazes me that people have the entire world of information in the palm of their hand, and they choose to listen to what other people say and watch what they do.
