If an amateur mycologist picks and eats the wrong mushroom that an LLM said was fine to eat, is the LLM liable for the death legally and/or financially?

I mean, I know better than to pick random mushrooms and eat them, but I don’t really care for mushrooms - though some have some delightful effects when metabolized, lol. The only ones of THOSE I tried, I knew who grew them, and saw the “operation,” and reviewed his sources before trying one.

Call me paranoid, but I’m not blindly trusting a high school drop out to properly identify mushrooms when professionals make mistakes to the point where any mycologist will tell you, DON’T TRUST PICS OR THE INTERNET.

It can be too difficult to tell from those sources, and I doubt the LLM and the human asking questions have the right wavelength of discussion to not produce misleading, if not entirely fabricated, results.

I lived on the street next to a high school.

The primary entrance to both the high school and the rest of the neighborhood was appropriately named Funnel.

Getting out of the neighborhood was sometimes the longest part of my journey, and that was driving from the suburbs into downtown on a notoriously traffic ridden (and always under construction) freeway - they liked to close exits with little to no notice sometimes requiring massive rerouting. Was late a couple times because of that, but the traffic right at the start of the commute was the worst.

A combination of high schoolers who can’t drive, and half asleep parents who need more caffeine or less kids - probably both - as well as pedestrians and kids on bikes. I don’t know about your area, but cyclists in that area did not abide by traffic laws and no one stopped them, so they kept doing it. More than a few people died at that crossing in the ~5 years I lived there.

Thankfully, I usually only saw it bad on my way home in the morning (medical IT, I worked nights).

Covering some other shifts though? Whew, I had to leave at least 30 minutes earlier than I would for a night shift.

Pffft. I write everything as a one liner in notepad and just copy and paste into a compiler.

Note: Sarcasm. I’m not a dev, I just script shit for my own convenience at work. I’m the guy the idiots talk to first. After 12 years I’m pretty good at filtering out the bullshit and giving a concise ticket to escalate in the event I don’t have permissions to fix something.

I have fixed code before, but its been very rare, and was most certainly a case of the actual dev not seeing the forest due to the trees. It just happened I had the cube next to him and he wanted any other set of eyes, lol. I just happened to have some education in various languages that I opted not to pursue further.

You’re bipolar, you just hide it well.

Get your meds sorted before college or you’re gonna wind up dropping out.

Also, its a seizure disorder, it just doesn’t present typically; and its medication resistant. Keep trying. That alone is gonna set you back about 10 years.

Don’t forget, those of us who “produce” aren’t even a consideration.

The working class will starve. We’re already working on it with inflation, but managing to keep enough calories coming in.

Soon, the billionaires will have no labor to produce food, and no labor to stock food, and no labor to handle their banal shit.

Then, they will hunt us for sport. Or, more likely, a few class traitors will hunt and butcher us while they go hungry and the billionaires eat of our flesh.

As an American who has worked night shift for too long… I’m sick of “breakfast” foods.

Bacon, eggs, some carb, maybe spice it up by adding salsa or some shit?

Nah, sorry.

I’ve had my fill.

8am is dinner time for me. I want steak, burgers, pasta, a fucking meal.

I used to live in the “city” or at least, suburbs. I could find something.

Moved to rural fly over state recently. I’d rather not eat than shove another form of egg down my gullet.

Realistically, I found left handed opponents to be more difficult to compete against.

It took me longer to learn their body movements that would indicate a strike, and where they are aiming. It wast just less intuitive.

Also, fencing a little person was a somewhat unique experience. Totally threw me off my game.

I’m not clinical, but I worked in medical IT off and on.

The shit I would hear from clinical staff.

Had a senior surgeon call me because his application was frozen. Cool, cool, lets get that going - wait - you’re what - palpating a child’s heart to keep it beating in rhythm? There are back ups upon back ups for anything IT related in that scenario. Don’t call your overnight helpdesk with that shit, have your nurse write it down on paper. Fuck.

Most traumatic IT call I’ve ever had. Didn’t even care to solve his IT issue, just focused on patient care. My 20 something ass with a few years behind the desk told him to focus on the patient’s LIFE first and foremost, we can talk later.

Always great for an interview question though - how do you respond under stress? Well, lol…

I don’t disagree. My last job was using winget to update some things. I raised the concept of trusting otherwise unknown updates, but I was pushed aside for the quick utility.

I’m only a student of cybersecurity, but I harshly judge my former “security expert” on far more than that.

Like fuck, the help desk has to install every patch, to every machine, through a spreadsheet?

No, deploy that shit from a server. Fuck.

In a way, I’m glad I left. In another way, I would really like a pay check again… and I moved to a well, tech illiterate state. Fuck me.

This does not apply to electronics. You want that 99% to leave as little moisture as possible.

I was in band, and marching band was mandatory.

I did not try out, as I did not want to participate in that part of the band experience.

So I was part of the “front ensemble” which is shit you can’t march with. Timpani drums, etc.

We had an L frame rack with wheels that had all sorts of crap on it, half of it made in some garage before I joined.

We called it the ghetto rack.

I had a solo on what were essentially tanks that had the bottom cut off and an attachment point welded on top hung by rope.

So yeah, if you can hit it and make a sound, it becomes a percussion instrument.

I mean a grinder of that nature wouldn’t be too useful to me, too much too muchery.

But I keep a set of water stones to sharpen my straight razor - though I haven’t had a job I had to shave for in a while.

My EDC knives see more use from them these days.

Please don’t I barely understand subnetting as it is.

In the US, you can get varying dosages based on a variety of commercial factors.

That being said, 1000mg a dose not to exceed 4000mg in a 24 hour periods is the standard… well, was, its been a while since I was a pharmacy tech.

Hence the term, luxury bones.

I was the SME over POS terminals in a past job.

Owners are often the biggest morons at the location.

Before that, I used the same basic software package at Subway because the owner couldn’t be bothered, and the manager, great lady, was not technically apt.

That makes me wonder.

I don’t, or rather, can’t picture things in my mind.

I always thought that phrase was just a phrase, it had some archaic reference but the phrase remained or some shit.

Nope. Turns out I just lack that ability.

That being said, for those of us who can’t or just don’t picture things, would our pupils adjust the same way?

Life, uh, finds a way.

Don’t work in medical IT.

It has been literally life and death before.

I had a car that would auto lock the doors.

It was also a keyless start, so the fob may be built totally differently.

That being said, if your keys were detected, it would prevent the auto lock.

It’s a less secure default, but at the same time people would be pissed if they had to call a lock smith all the time.
