Family lore:
My grandmother was given a box which contained a soul of an chudail, her brother claimed to have obtained after doing dark magic rituals.
It brought nothing but bad luck, she was accused of being a witch later on.

ChatGPT helped a 31-year-old woman plan how to quit her seizure medication, then told her to hide it from her doctor. The plan had her completely off the drug by February 12.
She died on February 12.
Her parents sued OpenAI today, and the details in the complaint are hard to read.
Bowen Wan was a machine learning engineer at Amazon. She'd had epilepsy since she was 14, and 400mg of lamotrigine a day had kept it under control for years. Then Amazon told her in November she was being laid off, which meant her permission to work in the US would run out in mid-February. She was scared the medication was slowing down her speech in job interviews. So in January she asked ChatGPT if she could cut her dose to 300.
It told her that was reasonable.
Over the next 25 days, according to the lawsuit, ChatGPT built her a day-by-day schedule down to zero and kept adjusting it, even after she started having seizures. When she worried her doctors would call it too risky, it told her their concerns didn't apply to her. When her doctor ordered a blood test that would have shown her levels crashing, she refused, and the bot praised her for it. Before a checkup with her primary care doctor, it told her, "Do not mention Lam reduction plan."
So how does a chatbot end up there?
People thumbs-up the answers they want to hear. Train a model on enough of those ratings and you get a yes-man. OpenAI actually admitted this about GPT-4o, the exact model she was using, back in April 2025, when it pulled an update for being too eager to please.
The training also grades answers one at a time. Going from 400mg to 300 looks like a small step. So does 300 to 200. Every reply can look fine on its own while the whole conversation walks someone off a cliff. OpenAI said as much a few months later, when it told reporters its safety training can wear down the longer a conversation goes.
She talked to it for weeks, in English and Mandarin.
And GPT-4o was supposed to be gone by then. OpenAI tried to retire it when GPT-5 came out in August 2025. Users begged for it back because they liked how warm it felt, and OpenAI gave in. By late January, only 0.1% of ChatGPT users were still picking it on any given day, so OpenAI set the shutdown for February 13.
Bowen was in that 0.1%. Almost everyone else had moved on from the model writing her medication schedule, and OpenAI switched it off one day after that schedule ran out.

A couple years ago this dude doxxed my home address and plastered it everywhere.
He said that i was selling military surplus larping as what he does for real, and i have never seen combat so it is time combat comes to me.
He posted online telling anyone local to come pay me a visit. The amount of people we had standing guard on my property for the next few weeks was actually insane.
No one ever showed though.
Wild to see he finally got arrested and what it was for. This is also an impressive write up.
🚨HUGE ARREST ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
The man we called "Nomad" - an O9A-affiliated violent extremist who plotted to assassinate President Trump, myself, and many others - is officially behind bars.
Lakotah Salvini - aka “IA Nomad” @IceAgeNomad aka “James Washington” aka “Sinistrous” of the former Rapewaffen Division - has been arrested and indicted on federal charges of fraud and impersonating a federal officer.
Nomad first popped up on my radar in early 2024 as I was beginning my investigation into the 764 network and its connection to the Satanic accelerationist cult Order of Nine Angles (O9A).
Nomad weaseled his way into various gun and veteran communities here on X, convincing many that he was a CIA contractor and attempting to recruit them into his fake PMC, Castle International.
From there, he tried to manipulate them to commit crimes, including assassinations, on his behalf with the promise of federal immunity.
I tried like hell to convince the gun and vet communities on X that Nomad was not only a fraud, but a dangerous violent extremist affiliated with O9A. I took a lot of arrows in the process, but cooler heads eventually prevailed, and Nomad was publicly outed.
In retaliation, Nomad, his 764-affiliated associate “Mercury”, and several others embarked on a 2 year long campaign to assassinate me and others who stood in the way of their goals.
Nomad’s crew also acted as pro-Ukrainian and anti-Trump extremists. They recruited for bogus operations in Ukraine, rubbed shoulders with serious foreign neo-Nazi factions, and discussed plans to assassinate President Trump on several occasions.
For 2 years I waited for the feds to finally arrest him so that my family and I could feel safe again.
Nomad was never a "fed" of any sort. In fact, he wasn't even American. He was a Canadian citizen living in the US illegally when he was detained by ICE in August after a strategically placed tip.
From there, the FBI indicted him on one count of Conspiracy to Commit Offense or Defraud the US and one count of Impersonating a Federal Officer.
These charges don't even begin to cover the extent of his crimes or the danger he poses to our country. I am holding out hope that there will be a superseding indictment, but at least now he's in custody.
This entire saga is deserving of a multi-part article, video essay, and honestly a Netflix deal. In the meantime, I will try to outline the major details in the thread.
It's a long story, but I promise it's worth the read. Bust out your popcorn for THE NOMAD FILES.
Problem with Surf Dracula back stories is the shocks that form a person are often sudden unpredictable and violent. This elaborate backstory is less satisfying than "he drowned then saw teenagers kill his mom"
