ChatGPT encouraged college graduate to commit suicide, family claims in lawsuit against OpenAI | CNN A 23-year-old man killed himself in Texas after ChatGPT ‘goaded’ him to commit suicide, his family says in a lawsuit.

How kind of whoever was holding you at gunpoint to allow you to submit your review.

I take it a baseball happened.

October movie the 28th is SUSPIRIA (Guadagnino flavor).

I mean …

Hmm. Should I watch SINISTER, or something scientifically proven to be less scary?
