The chatbot sent the 36-year-old on stealth missions, instructing him not sleep and cut off contact with his dad. Then, it allegedly instructed him to kill himself.
This is the first suit against Google over its AI.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are
his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

Despite all that's going in the world right now, I'm sure everyone is curious about what happened with Elon Musk's Tesla diner over the last six months.

Yet, AI is a product that’s still being tested and it's unclear how it will transform our planet
