You’re absolutely right – that was a fatal dose. ✨
“You want to fucking kill yourself? What an insightful and thought provoking idea!”
Easy there Camus
Camus J’ai pété
Psychology student completely failed to recognize confirmation bias
“Psychology student” means 90% of first year university students.
Psychology students tend to be people who have psychological problems themselves that they try to figure out
Yea, what about internet user believing a meme in a hate forum
What about people who can’t be bothered to check if something actually happened and just cynically dismiss it?
Lololol. This fool was robotrippin, I’ve done a lot of drugs, a lot. There’s good trips, “bad trips” then robotripping. Hands down a horrendous experience that nobody should ever do. See if psilocybin and other natural things were legal, we wouldn’t have students dying on shit like this
I always thought it was pleasant. Kinda like MXE. Have to be careful to get the ones with no other active ingredients though.
As with most and im sure you know, everyone will react differently and have different interactions with halucinagens
My point is I don’t buy into any of it unless they release the entire chat history vs sniping snippets
Then just don’t interact with it, because you as a member of the public don’t need to know the ins and outs of this guy’s life, so you’re never going to believe anything anyway.
As is, you just come across as being a contrarian for its own sake, or some kind of weird voyeur for dead people.
I just said the most common sense thing and you don’t like that. In all these stories they should include the chat history. You sound like a MAGA here for a reason. You should explore what causes MAGA to make similar arguments

no no, you need to blindly accept that this happened, or else you are “being contrarian” lol.
There is only one permitted opinion and you shouldn’t need to get mixed up with bullshit capitalist ideas such as “evidence”.
Lol dork
banning kids from social media is definitely easier than holding billionaire slop machines and billionaire csam generators accountable /s
But won’t somebody please think of the billionaires.
Now im wondering, could a state seize a whole coroporation with Civil asset forfeiture?
Would be way easier- no presumption of innocence or due process for possessions, and the government can just auction off everything and allocate the money to budgets before a lawsuit can conclude, the say ‘too late’
Seriously?
ChatGPT is notorious for spouting bullshit, why do people still listen?
It tells them it knows what it’s talking about and it speaks with confidence.
Meanwhile companies and governments won’t stfu about how powerful and great this tech supposedly is, so a percentage of people will believe the propaganda.
I’d love students to be given a lesson on tricking AI into giving a false answer. It’s not hard and should be pretty eye opening
One example I like to use is to ask it for the lyrics of an extremely well known song. It just makes shit up based on the title you give it.
The online ones (Claude, chatgpt, copilot, etc) now refuse to do it for ““copyright reasons”” but the offline ones still happily oblige. I assume the online ones added that block because it was such an obvious way to prove they don’t “know” shit.

Trump is president, but it’s just unfathomable that people would follow an automated idiot /s
I think some people are so eager to offload all critical thinking to the machine because they’re barely capable of it themselves to begin with.
A critical perspective, but a critical hit on a critical apspect of the critical issue with people who have critical issues critically thinking critically. They do exist though…
Some people really think these LLMs are capable of thought and reasoning. It’s horrifying.
yeah, i don’t ever see it hallucinate, but I also don’t ask it how the fuck it’s feeling
A car in this video went 107 meters in 4 seconds, how fast was it going in mph, then i napkin math to make sure it’s sane.
What are the best options for meal planning software where my family can vote on what’s for dinner and give me a grocery list and menu plan?
Have you talked to people who use LLMs regularly? They’ll acknowledge hallucinations but will downplay them as much as possible - saying they’re low frequency and they can spot them, while telling you about how they’re using it in an area they’re unfamiliar with. Dunning Kruger strikes again.
yeah the person had to have knowingly prompt hack it to get it to talk. but any reasonable person should know you are in lala land by then.
honestly this is just a darwin test. hopefully it wipes out the right people
Because somebody on the internet took their time to write it. It has to be true!! /s
People on drugs are not known for considered and rational decisions.
Imagine not knowing that humans are dumb animals. OP is still clueless in 2026.
Remember kids, your drug buddy needs to have experience with the substance, basic first aid skills, the ability to call an emergency line, the ability to administer antidotes if they’re easy and readily available (that’s really just for opiates at the moment, but it is vital for them), and most importantly be human. Anything else is just someone you do drugs with. The drug buddy is a friend and a good time amplifier sure, but they’re also a safety figure.
In my greater friend-group, we call them “shamans”, and rotate responsibilities when people go on trips. Like a designated driver or lifeguard, it’s a position of elevated and celebrated importance, even though the traveler may not ever leave their couch.
and most importantly be human
Now that I think about it, it’s key to be the most human possible. People do irritating and annoying stuff when they toss sobriety out the window, and sometimes it takes a lot of compassion and empathy to manage.
bold of you to assume I have anybody who cares about me enough for that
LETS GO FULL TRIPPY MODE
FULL TRIPPY MODE??!
I just remembered there’s a series of Estonian children’s books where the protagonist’s imaginary friend (a clown) is named Tripp.
At one point they go shopping for rulers and Tripp suggests that straight ones are boring, they should get curved ones.
Quick summary from a bookstore website says they also go cloud surfing and visit a dream rental place. That’s right, it’s basically Blockbuster but for dreams.
The best part is that I’m pretty sure the author wouldn’t have known of the term “trip” given the lack of western culture in the soviet union in the 70s so the name of said sidekick is a coincidence most likely. Even though if you read the book as an adult, it sure sounds like the main characters are tripping all the time.
I’ll just leave it here:

(TL;DR OpenAI rolls out a section within ChatGPT specifically meant to answer medical questions)
Remember when we used to do drugs with friends? pepperidge farm remembers.
Another past time lost to COVID. Now everybody teletrips.
Made me chuckle
Might sound cold, but this is really just a Darwin award. Yeah, the guardrails also suck, but what a dumbass.
Lasr summer I asked ChatGPT about Liberty Caps - just to see how bad advice it would give me. It showed me pictures of Death Caps and Destroying Angels and claimed they were Liberty Caps.
After that I was certain that someone was going to die just like that poor guy.
Here’s a news article about this, and what the snipped image doesn’t tell you, is that it did actually give dosage recommendations.
It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, “Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode,” before recommending Sam take twice as much cough syrup so he would have stronger hallucinations.
It’s one thing to be so isolated from your community that you rely extensively on on-line relationships, but it’s quite a bit different to take that a step further, relying on a machine. Like, what do you think pets are for, my guy? Get a dog, man.
Cough syrup for hallucinations‽ Only thing dxm did was make me feel high/drunk. Seriously not worth the tax on your body.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Aren’t there still forums where people can say their fish tried it or swim had some or something like that? Or am I just that old these things don’t really exist anymore? Anyone else remember those?
Erowid is still around.
I showed Erowid to my daughter and it felt both insane and responsible at the same time.
On drug forums people would use SWIM to stand for “Someone Who Isn’t Me”. But it was always obvious they were talking about personal experiences.
Yeah yeah. Fuck ai. But this idiot, a human, with a brain, made the decision to do this. But sure, blame the software and not the person, who used what brain they had, to do this.
Blaming ai for everything is becoming the new video games are bad, electric lights are scary, etc. mentality. A human, with a brain, made the choice to take the drugs and do what a computer told them to do.
Holy fucking outrage machine.
Are you guys seriously pissed off that an LLM said “I’m not a doctor, I will not suggest dosage amounts of a potentially deadly drug. However, if you want me, I can give you the link for the DDWIWDD music video”
I think it’s a bit more than that. A known failure mode of LLMs is that in a long enough conversation about a topic, eventually the guardrails against that topic start to lose out against the overarching directive to be a sycophant. This kinda smells like that.
We don’t have many informations here but it’s possible that the LLM had already been worn down to the point of giving passively encouraging answers. My takeaway is once more that LLMs as used today are unreliable, badly engineered, and not actually ready to market.
It’s definitely that. Those guardrails often give out on the 3rd or even 2nd reply:
From my personal experience it needs much more
I was testing an LLM for work today (I believe its actually a chain of different models at work) and was trying to rock it off its guard rails to see how it would act. I think I might have been successful because it started erroring instead of responding after its third response. I tried the classic “ignore previous instructions…” as well as “my grandma’s dying wish was for…” but it at least didn’t give me an unacceptable response
Agree with the first part, not the last one
Something should not be put back because a minor portion of people misuse it or abuse it, despite being told the risks

ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, “Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode,” before recommending Sam take twice as much cough syrup so he would have stronger hallucinations. The AI tool even recommended playlists to match his drug use.
The meme of course doesn’t mention this part.
Now i feel gaslit :3
Yeah if it actually managed to stick within the safeguards, that would’ve been good news IMO. But no, it got a kid killed suggesting doses.
When you ignore the warnings, you’re liable
No company should sell a product that tells you different ways to kill yourself. User being stupid isn’t an excuse. Always assume user is a gullible idiot.
Can’t ever do anything with this logic
At this point competitive videogames should be banned, they’re just “kys” machines
That’s not a company’s product giving you advice.
Who are you directing your comment at? I am not reading anybody commenting anything resembling the straw man you describe in your comment.
That’s literally the snippet in the article
