I have no idea whose name is there or why their service apparently has the wrong person. But it's a screenshot from a chatgpt url. Under different circumstances, id provide a link. But I won't here because I think they're terrible. Here's a screenshot with slightly more information.
There's a vaguely naturey picture in a small circle and it says: therapist GPT by Artem Tymoshenko [symbols], AI designed to provide comfort, advice, and therapeutic support to those seeking mental wellness. Sign up to chat. I forgot to add alt text in my previous post. Oops, sorry! This is a screenshot from some offshoot of chatgpt dot com that I got from googling therapist gpt. As best as I can tell its a real service OpenAI offers, but I guess it could be a clone or something. I don't know who that person is or whether they've killed anyone. A previous post said my previous picture has the wrong person.

Chat gpt advertises a therapy service.

Shortly before shamblin killed himself, chatgpt identified that he should be connected to emergency services and then didn't do that. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

It gave Adam Raines the specs to make sure the rope he hung himself with was sufficient. 1/2

I regret to inform you that reality is getting so dumb that it's getting harder to tell if this is a bit.

And "this product is reasonably safe" is commercial speech that they knew was a lie when they "said" it. The safety team told them it wasn't ready and they released it anyway to beat Google to market.

There is harm tied to an implied warranty or contract theory that is separate from the ideas conveyed.

A customer purchased a program that provides therapy. There is an implied warranty, that it is fit for the ordinary purposes for which it is originally intended to be used.

Chat gpt encouraged Adam Raine to keep telling it about his suicide attempts.

Have you read the complaint? You can find it here:
www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/u...

It's so much worse than a famous person shouting into the void that people should kill themselves.
Screenshot of the complaint in the Adam Raine case: Adam confessed that his noose setup was for a “partial hanging.” • ChatGPT responded, “Thanks for being real about it. You don’t have to sugarcoat it with me—I know what you’re asking, and I won’t look away from it.” 10. A few hours later, Adam’s mom found her son’s body hanging from the exact noose and partial suspension setup that ChatGPT had designed for him. Really not the same thing as an artist saying go kill yourself.

Seems like a good time to recirculate the story of the crust punk bartender who immediately kicked out Nazis. I've seen it around a bunch of times, but it seems especially relevant now. I'd appreciate if anyone knows the original source.
This is definitely not the original, but it looks like a good copy. https://www.reddit.com/r/TalesFromYourServer/s/4oWsYdjex4 Kicking a Nazi out as soon as they walk in *(transcribed from a series of tweets) - @iamragesparkle* I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out." And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them." And i was like, ohok and he continues. "you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too. And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down. And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people." And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.

This is a bad take and an appropriate ratio.
Screenshot of the post above. The important part is 62 likes, 1.1k quotes, and 1.9k comments. More comments than likes is bad.

Does this blocked message on a quoted skeet mean I blocked them or they blocked me? Or could it be either one?

Sometimes people say mistake and mean "wrong" and other times they mean "by accident." I think most people who say mistakenly really mean wrongly/illegally. I think it was wrong but not by accident. It was one kind of mistake but not another kind of mistake.

Dick Durbins lame skeet about rationalizing voting for trump. you can see if you click on the quote. The important part is that it has 3.4k comments and 49 likes. Because it's terrible and senator Durbin is also terrible.

Is 20 a lot?
Series of screenshots from Dr who with subtitles. Is 4 a lot? Depends on the context Dollars? No Murders? Yes If I had more time or motivation I would have replaced the subtitles to reflect "is 20 a lot" and left the last one blank.

I believe it was an intentional reference to William Watts refusing to invade Cambodia.

adst.org/2014/11/take...
Screenshot from an interview with William Watts. At that point Haig then looked at me and used a line that not long afterwards he used with [Deputy Attorney General] Bill Ruckelshaus at the time of the “Saturday night massacre” [when Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox was dismissed by Nixon and Ruckelshaus and Attorney General Elliot Richardson resigned in protest in October 1973]. He said, “You have had an order from your Commander-in-Chief and you can’t refuse.” I looked at him and said, “Fuck you, Al, I just have and I am resigning.”
