Did your “more detail” include an OpenAI representative telling the media what standard version of ChatGPT she used? Because this article did…

Europe is closest in culture, and European countries have generally strict gun laws while allowing hunting and sport, so it’s a nice parallel to draw. I didn’t say they’re the only developed countries, and I’m fairly well traveled so… I’m not blind to any of this.

The other big difference that you’re ignoring in your comparisons - wealth inequality. There isn’t anywhere else in the world quite like the USA. We have a glorious mix of income inequality, social isolation, and a lack of social safety net which is only getting worse.

Guns don’t help, not by a long shot. But again, the cat’s out of the bag. You can’t just round up hundreds of millions of guns (again ignoring the infringement on centuries-old guaranteed rights) whether you want to or not. We kind of tried that, but due to the nature of ownership, it had to be a voluntary action. No matter what you do, people will keep guns, and worse, not a single criminal will give up an already illegal gun. You also have millions of people who collect, hunt, target shoot… there are entire industries dedicated and tens of thousands of life-long professionals whose skills revolve around this culture. It’s just not as simple as “take the guns away”, no matter how much trump wants it at any given moment.

Here’s the biggest blow to your argument, though… multiple countries in Europe, as well as Canada, Iceland, New Zealand… they all have great access to guns, yet all of them have significantly less violent crime. If guns are the problem, why is Iceland known for being so ridiculously safe? They have about 1/4 of the gun ownership that the gun-loving USA does, a quick google search shows. You know what Iceland does have that the US doesn’t? Healthcare and a solid social safety net. So do the rest of the countries included here. It’s not guns that are the problem.

Pretty sure that’s the Eastbound and Down guy

I don’t understand what you mean here. Are you saying we have the same social services as other developed countries? Because… we don’t. Not even close. I’m not really sure how you could think we’re in line with European countries on that. We don’t even give proper healthcare to our war veterans for Christ’s sake

I’m just saying it’s the entire ecosystem. You can’t distill systemic problems to just a couple issues.

The main issue with gun control similar to other countries actually being implemented in America is the fact that there are millions upon millions of guns which are not really tracked in America. You can’t really put a lid back on that.

That’s setting aside the fact that we’ve got a constitution which has always guaranteed that the people have a right to own firearms, and for good reason. It looks more relevant every day. Problem with that today is it would be insanely difficult for the people to organize to a level that they actually stand a chance against the US military. Guerrilla warfare is a powerful thing, but I digress.

Point is, we’d have a lot less issues if we actually got people the help they need - whether it’s mental healthcare, or food, or whatever else. Would also be beneficial to limit the hateful rhetoric parroted on official media channels constantly. The end of the fairness doctrine was an undeniable catalyst in the environment in the US today.

Pretty sure after Thiel it’s just Satan

You obviously didn’t read the article then.

As I said to someone just yesterday… the ICE of today is nothing like the ice of even just 10 years ago. No executive weaponized the department the way trump has. But I’m sure you know that.

Guy might have just recently gotten home. I lock mine up at home, but if I get home and start doing things right away, I’ll forget and just leave it on me until later. Not really comfortable to hang out on the couch with it, though.

4” was the issue. Not “deadbolt”.

Residential homes have deadbolts… but they blow right through the wood framing when the door is kicked properly.

And you’re completely ignoring that guns aren’t really the problem in these cases. We have absolutely awful social services. We continue to take benefits away from the people who need them most. It’s like we want people to be desperate enough to feel like they have nothing left to lose.

Both long retired at this point. Didn’t kill anyone, so I guess they did okay.

No one is perfect. But this was literally standard ChatGPT and it told her that her doctors were wrong, and killed her within a month.

At least in the USA (and I assume every state but every medical board makes their own rules as far as I know) doctors are required to do “continuing education” to make sure they’re up to date. Not sure how that works in Canada. I spent quite a bit of time as a kid traveling to places for that purpose, with MD and PharmD parents.

“She lives at a full-service senior living facility”

She has plenty of people to talk to about it, including several doctors, family, and friends.

Read. The. Article.

Check the commenter above you that I just replied to, who says AI is better at medicine than doctors…

People are being told AI is better at everything, and many are being convinced on occasion that AI hallucinations are factual. I see it in my industry, and I’m sure people in different lines of work see it too.

That’s not only an insane take, but part of medicine is getting accurate context and information despite the known fact that patients will lie to your face when asked direct questions.

If AI is better at medicine, why did this LLM tell the woman that her doctors were wrong, didn’t understand her condition, and tell her to taper off her epilepsy medication at a dangerous rate? Seems like something if it was halfway good at medicine that it wouldn’t have done.

Seems a lot of people need to read the article. ChatGPT told her her doctors were wrong, and that they didn’t understand her type of epilepsy. It then gave her specific dosage instructions which resulted in her death.

Did you read the article?

OpenAI apparently even lied about the model she was using, saying she was using an out of date model. Like that was a good defense. But despite that, no, she wasn’t.

I agree, however, not all brush you off! There are good ones that will thoroughly answer your annoying questions. Sometimes the way you present those questions can make a difference, too. We’re all human, and we all have our own unique characteristics.

This is exactly why pharmacists have a job. Pharmacists know drugs way better than doctors, and doctors make mistakes sometimes. It’s the pharmacist’s job to catch those mistakes and let them know they can’t prescribe whatever they did for the patient.

They all do CE to keep up to date on new drugs and new research. Pharmacists are really unsung heroes in healthcare.

It’s also why the chain pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens are so scary. They work the pharmacists to death, and give them so much work load and so little help that things can slip through the cracks. I’ve known multiple pharmacists to leave the chains and start working for local pharmacies because they’re terrified they’re going to miss something and kill someone.

Just FYI, this is an issue that SPC has become notorious for. Thicker floating LVPs, especially WPC, don’t really do this. But I’ll say every time, if you have an installer who can properly prep, glue down is the most issue-free LVP possible, and I’d always recommend that over floating. Must have good installers though, or it can look terrible.

Isn’t he the guy that had the “business” with a cover photo on social media with a darkened photo of himself trying to pretend that it wasn’t him? All it took was brightening the photo and there he was.. clear as day…

I don’t know what your living arrangement is. If you’re a tenant there’s expensive damage, usually your security deposit is what you give up, not anything additional.

The biggest thing I’d be worried about is rotten subfloor. The underlayment and sheet vinyl in a bathroom is likely to cost only a few to several hundred or so with labor.
