Lemmy when gun death: “Gun proliferation was absolutely a factor, and we should throw red paint on anyone who gets on TV to say this is ‘just a mental health issue’ or ‘about responsible gun ownership’. They will say regulation is impossible, but people are dying just cuz Jim-Bob likes being able to play cowboy.”

Lemmy when AI death: “This is a mental health issue. It says he was seeing a therapist. Where were the parents? AI doesn’t kill people, people kill people. Everyone needs to learn responsible AI use. Besides, regulation is impossible, it will just mean only bad guys have AI.”

No, their son killed himself. ChatGPT did nothing that a search engine or book wouldn’t have done if he used them instead. If the parents didn’t know that their son was suicidal and had attempted suicide multiple times then they’re clearly terrible parents who didn’t pay attention and are just trying to find someone else to blame (and no doubt $$$$$$$$ to go with it).
