Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life.

6. In 1969 the daughter of media personality Art Linkletter fell or jumped to her death.

Linkletter publicly raged against LSD as the cause of her death and Nixon drafted him to help launch the War on Drugs. The idea that hallucinatory drugs make you believe you can fly was often cited as the reason you must “Just Say No.”

It’s starting to sound like ChatGPT is much more dangerous than all the drugs that were vilified in the 60s and 70s. When will the party of “family values” do something to regulate it????

ACID LORE: THE DEATH PLUNGE

There’s this guy I knew at university. The night before the final exam results were to be released, he dropped some acid and went out onto the roof of his student residence block to contemplate the night sky with his mates.

As the drug took effect, he soon became overwhelmed with wonder and the feeling that anything was possible – that he was Superman. He began telling his friends that he could fly, and though they tried to stop him, he escaped their grasp, ran, and leaped off the roof to his death.

I’ve heard this story from friends several times over the years, each time with slight variations, but the basics are always the same: youth takes LSD (or mushrooms or PCP or some other psychedelic), believes he can fly, and finds out that he can’t.

So, what makes this piece of drug lore such a persistent myth? And could there even be a kernel of truth to the story?
