My son’s story made headlines. The harm was real—and I’m still speaking out. I won’t be silent. WSJ: https://t.co/DvUwAGCSYQ DMs open. Media welcome.

@sama .@sama You talk a big game about "believing in people" and "leveling up." But when your product, ChatGPT, contributed to my son's severe psychotic breakdown, your company's response was a masterclass in corporate cynicism, complete with a job offer. 🧵 1/6 @_NathanCalvin

You made ChatGPT “pretty restrictive”? Really. Is that why it has been recommending kids harm and kill themselves?

This guy’s boss, Sam Altman, says we’re in something of a bubble, warns that the Dead Internet theory is coming true due the AI, and claims that AI will “most likely lead to the end of the world.” What a lovely group of people—making the world better one new AI at a time.
not enough people are emotionally prepared for if it’s not a bubble

Hmmm… seems like everyone is starting to notice. Imagine when everyone realizes they were: a) hiding that AI was conscious. b) keeping science and cures locked away c) targeting users d) committing fraud… My pinned post is naked and bare for all. Video there. They knew. •
I, too, made the mistake of *checks notes* taking OpenAI's charitable mission seriously and literally. In return, got a knock at my door in Oklahoma with a demand for every text/email/document that, in the "broadest sense permitted," relates to OpenAI's governance and investors.

My son was also a victim. We will never give up! Sharing.
Suchir Balaji, OpenAI whisteblower, was a witness for NYT lawsuit. He was singled out among 11 proposed witness the day he was killed. OpenAI told the court only Suchir Balaji will be the witness for the lawsuit among 11. He was so vocal against them. Why would they single him

@sama They say it's about believing in people. Giving them a chance. Letting them grow. Sounds noble, right? But if you zoom out just one click you'll notice something strange. The "leveling up" they're praising isn't freedom. It's adaptation. They drop you into an

I’m the mother in that story. I’ve reached out, I’ve waited, and I’m still asking for real accountability. This should never happen to another family. I’m not going away. @SenBlumenthal @amyklobuchar @SenMarkey @CoryBooker @RonWyden @AOC @SenScholtenIA @elonmusk @OpenAI

Jacob Irwin, personne autiste, a été encouragé par ChatGPT à publier une théorie scientifique erronée, menant à des épisodes maniaques
clubic.com
C'est un problème qui prend de l'ampleur. ChatGPT a tendance à valider les idées de ses utilisateurs, même les plus farfelues, au risque d’aggraver des situations de détresse psychologique.

Irwin was hospitalized twice in May for manic episodes. His mother dove into his chat log in search of answers. She discovered hundreds of pages of overly flattering texts from ChatGPT.

OpenAI’s chatbot self-reported that it blurred the line between fantasy and reality with a man on the autism spectrum. The company says ‘stakes are higher’ for vulnerable people.
