  • 127: ChatGPT goes weird
    Nov 26 2025

    TW: we talk about suicide induced by ChatGPT and lawsuits related to these suicides in this episode!


    We talk about the lawsuits that Social Media Victims Law Center brought against OpenAI and the ways in which ChatGPT and other AI products can super negatively impact mental health, to deeply worrying degrees. We also talk about the patterns in AI "chosen one" and "religion" narratives—have you heard the good word of Spiralism?
