    Because that’s murder, and contrary to a health insurance company denying claims, Sam Altman just sucks, but hasn’t killed anyone (yet) (that we know of).

              No I’m not saying that you’re not allowed to comment. I’m just saying that your takes are stupid and that you probably shouldn’t.

                  I’m sorry that I called you stupid. That was wrong of me and you didn’t deserve that.

                  If you’re interested, I could explain to you why your comment that I initially responded to was a false equivalence, and why claiming that I was stifling your free speech is nonsensical. Let’s talk it out and maybe both of us can walk away from this having learned something. :)

                    Sure, I’ll be happy to.

                    My point is that chatbots, and other LLM applications, are useful tools that in isolated cases have caused people to become addicted and other harmful effects, including deaths.

                    The same can be said of many other things, from parasocial relationships with celebrities, tools like heavy machinery, aircraft, medicine with side effects, gyms, and a long list of others. People become obsessed, addicted and in certain cases even die. Or the tool fails and kills them.

                    The solution shouldn’t be to immediately ban them and accuse the CEO of murder (super specific legal definition, btw) but try to regulate, add guardrails, make it safer and help the victims however they need. Sure, let’s investigate each death and see if there has been negligence, but pitchforks are not the solution.

        Is the developer also culpable? How about the data scientist? How about the data engineer? How about the BI Analyst? And the janitor?

        How about the manufacturer of the knife / pill / gas they used to kill themselves?

          If you manufacture a knife that convinces children to kill themselves, yeah, you’re culpable. Everyone else can be charged according to their level of culpability, but any time a company is found liable for killing someone the CEO should be sentenced for their murder. Maybe that would incentivize CEOs to stop getting people killed.
