I feel like if thats 1 mill peeps wanting to die… They could say join a revolution to say take back our free government? Or make it more free? Shower thoughts.
Over the long term I have significant hopes for AI talk therapy, at least for some uses. Two opportunities stand out that might have potential:
In some cases I think people will talk to a soulless robot more freely than to a human professional.
Machine learning systems are good at pattern recognition and this is one component of diagnosis. This meta analysis found that LLM models performed about as accurately as physicians, with the exception of expert-level specialists. In time I think it’s undeniable that there is potential here.
More so from corporate proprietary ones no? At least I hope that’s the only cases. The open source ones suggest really useful ways proprietary do not. Now I dont rely on open source AI but they are definitely better
Real therapy isn’t always better. At least there you can get drugs. But neither are a guarantee to make life better—and for a lot of them, life isn’t going to get better anyway.
A reminder that these chats are being monitored
Still, what are they gonna do to a million suicidal people besides ignore them entirely

Suicide is big business. There’s infrastructure readily available to reap financial rewards from the activity, atleast in the US.

Advertise drugs to them perhaps, or somd sort of taking advantage. If this sort of data is the hands of an ad network that is
It’s never the drugs I want though :(
