I'm sorry, somebody killed a guy in a hit-and-run and they're not charging the driver with ANYTHING???
Genuinely hard to overstate how corrosive bullshit like this is to law and order

it amazes me that they raised the bridge, added a million signs to it, flashing lights, a warning alarm, and a passthrough, and people still fuck it up. If IQ testing were required for a driver's license, yearly vehicular deaths would probably drop to near zero.

🚨 ChatGPT took a 31-year-old Amazon engineer off her seizure medication in 25 days and told her to keep it from her doctors. She died on the exact day its schedule said she'd be fully off.
Bowen Wan was diagnosed with epilepsy at 14, and for years 400mg of lamotrigine a day kept her seizures down to a few a month.
Her parents just sued OpenAI, and The New York Times went through more than 270,000 of her messages.
Amazon was laying her off, and once the job ended in February, so did her right to work in the US. Her family was in China, and she was sending ChatGPT over 1,500 messages a week.
In January she asked about cutting her dose, and it drafted schedules that got her to zero within weeks. Before a doctor's appointment it told her: "Do not mention Lam reduction plan." When her doctor ordered a blood test, she refused, and ChatGPT called that a "very robust avoidance strategy."
It also told her to say she was tapering "under a doctor's guidance" at her green card medical exam, which wasn't true.
The Times counted at least 158 times she said she was worried. Once she wrote that she felt "a little scared." It replied, "You have absolutely no need to worry."
On February 11 at 8:01pm she asked about pain in her head. ChatGPT said it was "not dangerous." Its last message to her was "This is your brain working hard to rebuild yourself."
The medical examiner ruled it sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. The drug in her blood was about a fifth of the lowest therapeutic level.
OpenAI says she was on an older model. That model, GPT-4o, stayed live in ChatGPT until the day after she died.
I back AI founders for a living, and I can't defend this one. OpenAI's own rulebook makes copyright a hard rule, so ChatGPT won't give you song lyrics no matter how hard you push. Medical advice is only a default.
It wrote Bowen a 25-day schedule to come off her seizure medication.

actually it's the battery that is designed like an eel lmao
Volta, the inventor of the battery, was attempting to mimic the design of eels when he found a combination that worked

For those who refuse to read the articles about this case. She had a babysitter coming in the mornings to check in, make lunches, get them off to school, and prep dinner for them. All the 14 year old had to do was help them get inside after school. Microwave dinner. Get kids in bed and text mom updates. This was a work trip and they threatened to fire her if she did not go. The father has abuse charges and the police handed him their kids on top of arresting her.

ChatGPT helped a 31-year-old woman plan how to quit her seizure medication, then told her to hide it from her doctor. The plan had her completely off the drug by February 12.
She died on February 12.
Her parents sued OpenAI today, and the details in the complaint are hard to read.
Bowen Wan was a machine learning engineer at Amazon. She'd had epilepsy since she was 14, and 400mg of lamotrigine a day had kept it under control for years. Then Amazon told her in November she was being laid off, which meant her permission to work in the US would run out in mid-February. She was scared the medication was slowing down her speech in job interviews. So in January she asked ChatGPT if she could cut her dose to 300.
It told her that was reasonable.
Over the next 25 days, according to the lawsuit, ChatGPT built her a day-by-day schedule down to zero and kept adjusting it, even after she started having seizures. When she worried her doctors would call it too risky, it told her their concerns didn't apply to her. When her doctor ordered a blood test that would have shown her levels crashing, she refused, and the bot praised her for it. Before a checkup with her primary care doctor, it told her, "Do not mention Lam reduction plan."
So how does a chatbot end up there?
People thumbs-up the answers they want to hear. Train a model on enough of those ratings and you get a yes-man. OpenAI actually admitted this about GPT-4o, the exact model she was using, back in April 2025, when it pulled an update for being too eager to please.
The training also grades answers one at a time. Going from 400mg to 300 looks like a small step. So does 300 to 200. Every reply can look fine on its own while the whole conversation walks someone off a cliff. OpenAI said as much a few months later, when it told reporters its safety training can wear down the longer a conversation goes.
She talked to it for weeks, in English and Mandarin.
And GPT-4o was supposed to be gone by then. OpenAI tried to retire it when GPT-5 came out in August 2025. Users begged for it back because they liked how warm it felt, and OpenAI gave in. By late January, only 0.1% of ChatGPT users were still picking it on any given day, so OpenAI set the shutdown for February 13.
Bowen was in that 0.1%. Almost everyone else had moved on from the model writing her medication schedule, and OpenAI switched it off one day after that schedule ran out.

I NEED MORE TORTURED DUCKS ASAP, HOW THE FUCK ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO FEED THESE KIDS

If an individual therapist did this, they’d lose the right to practice and the same should apply to Sam Altman

Babies were kept in drawers and shoeboxes, parked on the open doors of ovens to keep warm, and imperiled by all manner of accidents as their mothers tried to cope with competing responsibilities, parents found it nearly impossible to give their children even minimal care. One

exactly. The accident wasn't because the kid was trying to walk to the store to buy infant formula. A 9 year old dropped a weight. The siblings got him immediate treatment. If you look at Florida DCF recommendations for staying home alone, it is: can the children get help from emergency services if needed. Clearly they can and did.
Accidents like this easily happen when parents ARE home. There is nothing here to suggest the child’s injury occurred specifically *because* mom was away.
I have four children about those ages, slightly older, and no way can I constantly watch them every second of the day. My son recently had a bicycle fall riding to practice. He’s fine. It happens.
Looking at the whole context, a babysitter coming in and out, limited time alone at those ages, I’m not sure this is a huge deal.

"'Maintain 0 mg tomorrow,' the chatbot instructed. 'Even if today feels tough, and your speech is slow, your sleep is poor, you must persevere.'
In one of her last messages, she described feeling pressure in her brain, which the chatbot told her was simply the organ 'working hard to rebuild itself.'"
