This is just the beginning.

So the story of Adam Rain is really quite tragic because, you know, after his mother discovered he had hung himself, she also discovered that he had been talking to ChatGPT for quite a long time.

And ChatGPT had, among other things, given him advice how to create the more sturdy mount for the news and so on.

And you'd think it couldn't get worse than that, but it did.

Because after the memorial service, they received a subpoena from OpenAI insisting that the grieving family should tell OpenAI exactly who came to the memorial service and what they said.

So when you hear CEOs of companies like this tell you that, oh, we're all just doing this because we love humanity, we wanted to make it better for American people, ask yourself,

if that is consistent with how they're actually behaving, the Adam Raines family.

I really wish journalists would go out there and ask that directly to the company.

But the family's lawyer, as far as I understand, interprets this as its sheer attempt at harassment, just to intimidate the family, just like they have quite recently issued subpoenas to a large fraction of all the nonprofits who are also criticizing OpenAI.

I'm just hoping somehow that the opposition to what they're doing is going to go away.

I think the problem runs deeper than one CEO.

I think all of these AI tech CEOs in the US now are treated with silk gloves and getting this sort of corporate welfare that nobody else is getting.

Oh, can you still see me?

AI is the only powerful industry in the US that has no regulations whatsoever.

There's more regulations on sandwiches in San Francisco than on tech companies releasing software encouraging people to commit suicide.

And it's not just open AI.

Meta recently...

came out and said that uh it's okay for their ai chatbots to romance children like

Is that really in the interest of American people?

What we simply need is just stop giving corporate welfare to these AI companies and treat them like we treat all the other companies.
