You’re absolutely right – that was a fatal dose. ✨
“You want to fucking kill yourself? What an insightful and thought provoking idea!”
Easy there Camus
Camus J’ai pété
Seriously?
ChatGPT is notorious for spouting bullshit, why do people still listen?
I think some people are so eager to offload all critical thinking to the machine because they’re barely capable of it themselves to begin with.
A critical perspective, but a critical hit on a critical apspect of the critical issue with people who have critical issues critically thinking critically. They do exist though…
Some people really think these LLMs are capable of thought and reasoning. It’s horrifying.
yeah, i don’t ever see it hallucinate, but I also don’t ask it how the fuck it’s feeling
A car in this video went 107 meters in 4 seconds, how fast was it going in mph, then i napkin math to make sure it’s sane.
What are the best options for meal planning software where my family can vote on what’s for dinner and give me a grocery list and menu plan?
Have you talked to people who use LLMs regularly? They’ll acknowledge hallucinations but will downplay them as much as possible - saying they’re low frequency and they can spot them, while telling you about how they’re using it in an area they’re unfamiliar with. Dunning Kruger strikes again.
yeah the person had to have knowingly prompt hack it to get it to talk. but any reasonable person should know you are in lala land by then.
honestly this is just a darwin test. hopefully it wipes out the right people
People on drugs are not known for considered and rational decisions.
Imagine not knowing that humans are dumb animals. OP is still clueless in 2026.
LETS GO FULL TRIPPY MODE
FULL TRIPPY MODE??!
I just remembered there’s a series of Estonian children’s books where the protagonist’s imaginary friend (a clown) is named Tripp.
At one point they go shopping for rulers and Tripp suggests that straight ones are boring, they should get curved ones.
Quick summary from a bookstore website says they also go cloud surfing and visit a dream rental place. That’s right, it’s basically Blockbuster but for dreams.
The best part is that I’m pretty sure the author wouldn’t have known of the term “trip” given the lack of western culture in the soviet union in the 70s so the name of said sidekick is a coincidence most likely. Even though if you read the book as an adult, it sure sounds like the main characters are tripping all the time.
Remember kids, your drug buddy needs to have experience with the substance, basic first aid skills, the ability to call an emergency line, the ability to administer antidotes if they’re easy and readily available (that’s really just for opiates at the moment, but it is vital for them), and most importantly be human. Anything else is just someone you do drugs with. The drug buddy is a friend and a good time amplifier sure, but they’re also a safety figure.
bold of you to assume I have anybody who cares about me enough for that
In my greater friend-group, we call them “shamans”, and rotate responsibilities when people go on trips. Like a designated driver or lifeguard, it’s a position of elevated and celebrated importance, even though the traveler may not ever leave their couch.
and most importantly be human
Now that I think about it, it’s key to be the most human possible. People do irritating and annoying stuff when they toss sobriety out the window, and sometimes it takes a lot of compassion and empathy to manage.
I’ll just leave it here:

(TL;DR OpenAI rolls out a section within ChatGPT specifically meant to answer medical questions)
Sad… real sad.
Alexa, play Mambo no. 5
Remember when we used to do drugs with friends? pepperidge farm remembers.
Another past time lost to COVID. Now everybody teletrips.
Made me chuckle
Might sound cold, but this is really just a Darwin award. Yeah, the guardrails also suck, but what a dumbass.
People got mad at me for pointing out this is the case when people die because they listen to an AI chatbot, but it’s true. AI 100% needs more regulation, but introduce any new tool to everyone all at once, and some idiots will use it to remove themselves from the gene pool. If you sent everyone in the world a thin, 2in rod of inert iron, there would be a handful of people who would figure out a way to kill themselves with it.
Lasr summer I asked ChatGPT about Liberty Caps - just to see how bad advice it would give me. It showed me pictures of Death Caps and Destroying Angels and claimed they were Liberty Caps.
After that I was certain that someone was going to die just like that poor guy.
banning kids from social media is definitely easier than holding billionaire slop machines and billionaire csam generators accountable /s
But won’t somebody please think of the billionaires.
Now im wondering, could a state seize a whole coroporation with Civil asset forfeiture?
Would be way easier- no presumption of innocence or due process for possessions, and the government can just auction off everything and allocate the money to budgets before a lawsuit can conclude, the say ‘too late’
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Here’s a news article about this, and what the snipped image doesn’t tell you, is that it did actually give dosage recommendations.
It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, “Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode,” before recommending Sam take twice as much cough syrup so he would have stronger hallucinations.
It’s one thing to be so isolated from your community that you rely extensively on on-line relationships, but it’s quite a bit different to take that a step further, relying on a machine. Like, what do you think pets are for, my guy? Get a dog, man.
Cough syrup for hallucinations‽ Only thing dxm did was make me feel high/drunk. Seriously not worth the tax on your body.
Aren’t there still forums where people can say their fish tried it or swim had some or something like that? Or am I just that old these things don’t really exist anymore? Anyone else remember those?
Erowid is still around.
I showed Erowid to my daughter and it felt both insane and responsible at the same time.
On drug forums people would use SWIM to stand for “Someone Who Isn’t Me”. But it was always obvious they were talking about personal experiences.
Oh I remember that place where the AI got trained for this.
Silkroad?
No, there is (or was) a site that had detailed information about pretty much any mind altering drug, as well as a forum where people discussed their experiences with doses and combinations.
I’m completely blanking on the name, though.
That’s the one!
You sure it wasn’t bodybuildingforums?
Blast from the past
There’s also psychonaut wiki
SWIM loves this website.
Holy fucking outrage machine.
Are you guys seriously pissed off that an LLM said “I’m not a doctor, I will not suggest dosage amounts of a potentially deadly drug. However, if you want me, I can give you the link for the DDWIWDD music video”
I think it’s a bit more than that. A known failure mode of LLMs is that in a long enough conversation about a topic, eventually the guardrails against that topic start to lose out against the overarching directive to be a sycophant. This kinda smells like that.
We don’t have many informations here but it’s possible that the LLM had already been worn down to the point of giving passively encouraging answers. My takeaway is once more that LLMs as used today are unreliable, badly engineered, and not actually ready to market.
It’s definitely that. Those guardrails often give out on the 3rd or even 2nd reply:
From my personal experience it needs much more
deleted by creator
Agree with the first part, not the last one
Something should not be put back because a minor portion of people misuse it or abuse it, despite being told the risks
ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, “Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode,” before recommending Sam take twice as much cough syrup so he would have stronger hallucinations. The AI tool even recommended playlists to match his drug use.
The meme of course doesn’t mention this part.
Now i feel gaslit :3
Yeah if it actually managed to stick within the safeguards, that would’ve been good news IMO. But no, it got a kid killed suggesting doses.
When you ignore the warnings, you’re liable
No company should sell a product that tells you different ways to kill yourself. User being stupid isn’t an excuse. Always assume user is a gullible idiot.
People will always find a way to kill themselves no matter how many warnings and guardrails are put into place. This is just Darwinism shaking the tree.
Yea but the product that’s pretending to be a super smart conversational partner that can give you advice, should not tell you how to kill yourself. Or advise you to kill your family members. Yeah that happened, ChatGPT gaslit a guy into killing his mom.
It’s just not a product that should be available if safeguards don’t work.
Can’t ever do anything with this logic
At this point competitive videogames should be banned, they’re just “kys” machines
That’s not a company’s product giving you advice.
Who are you directing your comment at? I am not reading anybody commenting anything resembling the straw man you describe in your comment.
That’s literally the snippet in the article
