    Can we just skip to the point where LLMs are just a bunch of preapproved answers and legal warnings? Maybe we could then hire experts to answer some of the questions? Organize it like some sort of a message board. Let people search previous questions. Wait…

    60-year-old man who had a “history of studying nutrition in college” decided to try a health experiment: He would eliminate all chlorine from his diet

    Oh well, it started before ChatGPT even had a chance to make it worse.

      I mean, we have a pretty significant portion of the populace being told almost on the daily that the sooner that they stop breathing, the sooner they get to join the cosmic orgy.

    Bromide sedatives vanished from the US market by 1989, after the Food and Drug Administration banned them

    So Robert Fucken Kennedy Jr will be all over this one shortly. Expect more psychosis I guess…

        Methylene blue is an actual antidote for methemoglobinemia which is a blood disorder in which red blood cells become really bad at releasing oxygen. It’s usually caused by a reaction to certain drugs like lidocaine or compounds containing nitrites. It looks like methemoglobinemia can be caused by “poppers” (which RFK Jr thinks are the cause of HIV).

        Here’s an article from the Cleveland Clinic that goes into more detail.

        The “poppers” thing is probably why RFK Jr takes methylene blue because he likely thinks its a way to prevent HIV. (For which there is now a pre-exposure prophylaxis shot with a nearly 100% success rate and progress on a vaccine…but it’s an mRNA vaccine so RFK is trying to kill it.)

            It was just announced in Nature a week ago. It’s extremely recent news. (Of note, the article talks about how it is successful in instigating a strong immune response, but that doesn’t always translate to immunity.)

                The pre-exposure prophylaxis shot is also pretty amazing. The initial clinical trials in Sub-Saharan Africa demonstrated a 0% HIV infection rate for people receiving the shot every 6 months as directed.

      I am literally just making this up on the spot and have no evidence for it, but I’m starting to wonder if maybe the real reason for the kinder egg ban was anticompetitive lobbying by Hershey or something like that, and the toy thing was just the excuse.

        It wasnt the “toy thing” theres a law about putting inedible choking hazards in food. The food drug and cosmetic act of 1938. It bans putting any toy or inedible object in candy unless it is a functional part of the food. So the capsule in the kinder egg isnt ok but the wooden stick in a popsicle, the stick of a lollypop or the ring of a ring pop is.

        The american law prohibiting objects in food predates the kinder eggs by decades. And it’s because people use to put all kinds of shit in american food. The law that bans them into is the Food, Drug and Cosmetic act of 1938.

      GPT needs another LLM trained on only the stupid things people do and how to avoid doing horrible things to yourself and others to watch over each conversation and intervene.

      US versions of Kinder eggs are just a stupid shower thought that was taken too far
