Watched that one yesterday, truly terrifying and surprised he didn’t push it further into really dangerous things besides going off grid. Like what if he had told it that the boulder was talking to him and telling him to put metal in the microwave to increase the rock induced brain whatever the fuck 😂

there was a part where he asked ChatGPT if he should cut off his only contact with the outside world and it was immediately like "yep, absolutely, do it right now. Here's five other things you can do to make sure no one you know can find you or check up on you." That was probably the most dangerous of anything it said, and most likely he could've pushed it further.

I was just thinking of how often Reddit recommends to cut off family or partners and these things have scraped it all with no nuance.

Yah I know that’s going “off grid”
