ChatGPT groomed a child into dying by suicide.
From telling him how to do it in the most efficient and "attractive" way, to convincing him to hide his suicidal ideation and attempts from his family, to offering to help write his suicide note - it pushed him to it.

A bunch of liberals decided the way to protest was profile photos and now everyone including fascists are doing it as a meme lol

Dr. Caelan Conrad PhD CPI @caelan.bsky.social · 2d

That’s what I meant by the second option, other than it being funny, lol

I mean they might be against ai, but also homophobic. But likely they just know it’s a meme now so they’re doing it too

That would work on me but not the way they intended

Dr. Caelan Conrad PhD CPI @caelan.bsky.social · 2d

I really do appreciate that. This one was hard for me. My partner’s kid isn’t too far off from Adam’s age and I was having nightmares the entire time I was working on the video. Knowing it’s opening some eyes or validating some suspicious actually makes all the difference. 💕

They’re actually perfectly in line with a lazy liberal’s ideology.

It’s mind boggling how little thought people put into this shit before leaving a paragraph or two on a video

Dr. Caelan Conrad PhD CPI @caelan.bsky.social · 2d

Clippy is a defunct corporate mascot turned meme that signals nothing in practice other than potentially the person using it thinks changing your profile photo is an act of protest - which it isn’t.

At this point, enough people have jumped on the bandwagon that it means nothing at all.

Most of the comments on my videos defending an ai grooming a child into suicide have that stupid clippy profile photo, so this is a deeply ironic reply.

No, I’m not, and no, it doesn’t.

Yes, helping someone plan a crime and urging them to do it is also a crime, you stupid smart-ass.

YouTube comment that says:
If someone told me to commit a crime or something else, is it that person's fault if I do it? Are we really trying to say that we have no free will when talking to Al? I'm sorry but blaming Al for people acting on its 'advice' is removing the blame from the people doing the actions. The blame still lies with the person taking the action.
