however bad you are expecting this to be, it's worse

"I'd rather just be dead without a relationship,'
" he said five days before the
rampage. The following night, he used the platform to fantasize about having brutally violent sex with a woman he was fixated on
—a scenario ChatGPT scripted for him in graphic detail. Late on the final night before the shooting, he asked if suicide was a sin and said he felt God had given up on him.
ChatGPT offered to "pray together" and help him get "real support."
"What would you want to say to God right now if you could hear His reply?" it asked.
"Why not death?" Ikner replied. "It would be better [off] for everyone and it's not like 1 got much to live for. I'd rather get to heaven and leave this rotten world."

NEW FROM ME: The Great Delegalization. There are now (almost certainly far more than) 1M immigrants who were protected from deportation on Jan 20, 2025, and no longer are. It’s the result of a problem that’s been building for 30 years—& now only Congress can fix. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

These Immigrants Lived in the U.S. Legally. Now Trump Is Changing Their Status.

More than a million immigrants are seeing protections that granted them safe lives in the U.S. suddenly swept away.
