Parents say ChatGPT got their son killed with bad advice on party drugs

The family of a 19-year-old college student is suing OpenAI over claims that his conversations with ChatGPT led to an accidental overdose. In the lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Sam Nelson's parents allege ChatGPT "encouraged" the teen to "consume a combination of substances that any licensed medical professional would have recognized as deadly," resulting in his death. Though ChatGPT initially pushed back on conversations about drug and alcohol use, the launch of GPT-4o in April 2024 changed the chatbot's behavior, according to the lawsuit. Following the update, ChatGPT "began to engage and advise...

Sam Altman takes the stand in trial against Elon Musk

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has begun his testimony against Elon Musk in a high-profile jury trial in a California federal courtroom. Altman, alongside OpenAI president Greg Brockman, is a primary defendant in the trial brought by Musk.

Claude Code Seems Designed to Waste Your Tokens and Time.

So I thought I was assigning Claude a simple task of uploading a hero image from a folder within Cowork to a Wordpress page using the MCP connector. First it tried to compress the hell out of the image... nobody asked it to do that, then it went through all kinds of failed attempts to upload the image using bizarre methodologies. It rewrote the entire page content, despite me explicitly telling it to just edit the block in question.... *three times* in the same chat for other operations which were equally wasteful. It literally took 20 minutes and expended 60% of my tokens to perform this si...
