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.

    Nothing’s ever gonna change unless the management is held accountable for the company’s crimes.

    Companies can be fined, but can’t really be punished, they can’t learn and rehabilitate. People who make decisions in the company can be punished and learn from their mistakes, but they aren’t, because it would be bad if a company suddenly went bankrupt and poor billionaires lost their investments.

    In capitalism, companies are more valuable than any peasant’s lives.

      We need to be able to “jail” a corporation. This BS of monetary fines being the only thing we can do when a company breaks laws and harms or kills people is an absolute joke. A fine is just a cost of doing business.

        they can’t jail a corporation, they can kill a corporation. and regularly do. not ones of that size, but ones like the size of your local doctor’s office.

        Especially when the fine is a fraction of the actual stolen money. If someone makes a billion dollars in profit, and gets a $50 million fine, that’s just a tax, the government getting their beak wet.

        That not only doesn’t discourage future criminal activity, it ENCOURAGES it.
