Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
