A man has killed himself following a six-week-long conversation with artificial intelligence about the so-called climate crisis.

He apparently committed suicide in his effort to try to save the planet.

The report comes from Off the Press, where the case of the Belgian man was detailed.

His widow, who wanted to remain anonymous, said her husband "became extremely eco-anxious when he found refuge in Eliza, an AI chatbot on an app called Chai."

Thomas Rianlan, in an interview with Vice, explained, "It wouldn’t be accurate to blame EleutherAI’s model for this tragic story, as all the optimisation towards being more emotional, fun and engaging are the result of our efforts." He's co-founder of Chai Research.

If his paradise is a place without God, he probably succeeded.

So, can his family sue the Chatbot developer like they let families of people murdered by someone with a gun sue gun companies?

Johan taught children a suicide game in Naoki Urasawa’s 2004 “Monster”.

Reminds me of Blue Whale suicide challenge or the Momo challenge from 2018.

I’m becoming more convinced with every passing day that stories like this one confirm the notion that Earth is the Lunatic Asylum for the Galaxy.

There are probably outward facing signs throughout the solar system warning beings away.

programming/brainwashing is voluntary

It's easy.

Excite a person to feel strongly about something or find someone who is already wound up emotionally, then start dropping subtle suggestions of what you want them to do.

The way to build an immunity to hypnosis (emotional hacking) is to learn not to feel strongly about anything. Another word for this is OBJECTIVITY.

Best thing that could happen to the planet.

Elon is probably aware of many AI suicides, and that is why he wants to go slow with AI!

He at least led by example, even though it wa a fools errand because climate change is not man made. Maybe the rest of the folks pushing the lie will be inspired to follow his example?

It’s sad that it hzppend of course, but sometimes there is no fixing those who are mentally I’ll and belong to cults like the climate change cult. Folks will blame just the ai, but really it was the lie of climate change, and his screwed up mind that led to to his illogical, fact devoid sense of guilt. The chat bot just added fuel to his mental condition. The cult of climate change drove this man to suicide. All 3 are responsible for the outcome.

Perhaps we should call for a ban of ,iberalism since it is so deadly to those who are brainwashed into beleiving it.

"Software tells him they can live together 'in paradise'"

Sounds like a Jehovah's Witness.

No, no, all that is needed is the supposed “81 million” who support BeijingBiden. Off them and no need for anything else.

“Some have suggested that in order to stop ‘CLIMAGEDDON’, the population killing the planet needs reduced. By say +/- 6.5 billion folks!? “

Ok, but let the lefties who believe in the climate crisis go first.

We’ll be right behind them. Promise.

We’ve just gotta trick them. Like the Golgafrinchans did in “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”:

The Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B was a way of removing the basically useless citizens from the planet of Golgafrincham. A variety of stories were formed about the doom of the planet, such as blowing up, crashing into the sun or being eaten by a mutant star goat. The ship was filled with all the middlemen of Golgafrincham, such as the telephone sanitisers, account executives, hairdressers, tired TV producers, insurance salesmen, personnel officers, security guards, public relations executives, and management consultants.

Ark Fleet ships A and C were supposed to carry the people who ruled, thought, or actually did useful work.

The ship was programmed to crash onto its designated planet, Earth. The captain remembers that he was told a good reason for this, but had forgotten it, although the reason was later revealed to be because the Ark Ship B Golgafrinchans were a ‘bunch of useless idiots’.
