Police killed man, but...

Adding to the comment, I have read the brief. This time a mentally struggling person (because US health care and his condition is one that usually needs plenty of support) lashed out and a cop happened to be present.

Probably put a kick in the acabs step that day.

Yeah why is the focus on him using chatGPT vs yet another mentally ill person getting killed by a cop...

We have to do something about these toxic gaslighting-machines. We are not equipped to handle this.

Worse yet, the people who are in the best position to speak authoritatively about the dangers… seem to also be the most deluded — thinking they are somehow able to be perfectly rational, like they’re logic-based automatons rather than 2.5 million years of honing to prioritize social connection over personal survival.
