I don’t know if Google finds itself as defendants in a court room right now where the influence of an LLM lead to killing or suicide.

This is really tough... so many suicides happen every day, happened every day long before AI or even the internet "was a thing," it would be interesting to track trends to see if AI is making any macro differences positive or negative over the past couple of years (of course this will be impossible to tease out from variables like changing economic and social stresses...) We have a friend whose son was struggling with degenerating epilepsy, increasing seizure frequency, etc. He used ChatGPT to write his own obituary, then died of "an accident associated with a seizure" a few weeks later... I can't really blame ChatGPT for his death, in a way it helped him communicate with the people he didn't see or talk with very much in the months before his death, explain his perspective...

What they are doing with Android has me this close to switching to an iPhone.

If Apple weren't an order of magnitude more revolting than Google, I'd think about switching. If I do ever switch off of Android/Google it will be to a smaller competitor, not the other bad choice.
