 'Character .AI suicide shows teenagers are choosing fantasy over reality'

 That's proper Black Mirror territory. 
 The Dead Kennedy's wrote a song for the album Bedtime For Democracy about teenage suicide related to Ozzy Osbourne's Suicide Solution song... 

The message is simple. Parents are responsible for parenting and you are competing with the whole world for your children. 

ChumbaWamba also did an EP CD called Misbehaving where their chorus was: "We're going to kidnap your children, We're going to brainwash your children... And send 'em to the Devil."

The song by ChumbaWamba mentions all pop icons. 

Looking back on this music I can't agree more that it's poison on your mind and spiritually I can make a testament that what you think your mind is, is crude conversations that involve the ego and the body which is a crude vehicle for the spirit but it's also the great temple of the Spirit! 

 
 I also put this on Stacker News for Discussion...

 I think cos it's I've only just put it back on:) 
 When it's working, let me know.  
 don't worry lol, i think it's just a relay thing, it lags with profile updates or something, who knows 😉  
 I hope the mother loses the case tbh.  I saw some screenshots and unlike the chatgpt 2 suicide years ago, there was no encouragement from the bot and from this article it shows that he had no delusions.  The big question has to be why did he have access to his fathers loaded gun? 
 The more cases they lose now the more careful they will be in the future so there is a benefit to the general population. I'm all in favour
