Well, as someone with a person suffering from pretty severe (like cops and hospitals severe) schizoaffective disorder in my immediate family, I can say that story scared the bejeezus out of me. If my family member had had ChatGPT, when they had their last episode, it's entirely possible that I might not be here, as "Everyone is plotting to kill me" is a big motif in SAD (it was, in their case, and they needed to be hospitalized). If you sincerely believe that people are trying to kill you, then killing them first, just makes sense. Looks a lot like that's what happened, here. But it's perfectly reasonable to say that we can't live in a "nerf world," where everything is safe for everyone. Life is Risk and living out of our comfort zone. I feel that it's important for each of us that is "taking a side," to understand that folks "on the other side" aren't necessarily enemies. They may be blinded by the personal imperative of the issue, but they aren't actually "out to get you." The politicians may be two-faced creeps, using people's legitimate fears as leverage, but they aren't the rule. For the record, I am vehemently against "Nerf World," but there's a very, very real problem here, and it would be good if we could approach it in a reasonable manner. |
