I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Yeah, Steve, that was extraordinarily disturbing and powerful.
And I think that people like David Sachs, they want to classify stories like Maria or Megan Garcia's as a moral panic.
This is all just people freaking out over something that is trivial, that these people's
stories are just anecdotes.
They don't matter.
But when I went to the Senate hearing a couple of months ago, there were four families telling their stories about this.
And one particular story, Adam Raines, as you described, ChatGPT is not just
making him feel better about suicidal ideation.
No, ChatGPT was literally explaining how to tie the news and how he could hang himself.
Again, these are now four stories, but four more lawsuits are being brought forward against OpenAI for similar things.
But OpenAI themselves, they admit that
0.07 of their users are talking to the system about suicide.
Again, people like David Sachs would say, well, obviously, a moral panic.
But OpenAI, ChatGPT, they have everything.
800 million users.
That means that 560,000 that they admit are talking to the system about suicide.
How many of them are children?
No one really knows.
And another 2.5 million are exhibiting signs of AI psychosis.
