On 7 August, Kate Fox received a phone call that upended her life. A medical examiner said that her husband, Joe Ceccanti – who had been missing for several hours – had jumped from a railway overpass and died. He was 48.
Fox couldn’t believe it. Ceccanti had no history of depression, she said, nor was he suicidal – he was the “most hopeful person” she had ever known. In fact, according to the witness accounts shared with Fox later, just before Ceccanti jumped, he smiled and yelled: “I’m great!” to the rail yard attendants below when they asked him if he was OK.
But Ceccanti had been unravelling. In the days before his death, he was picked up from a stranger’s yard for acting erratically and taken to a crisis center. He had been telling anyone who would listen that he could hear and feel a painful “atmospheric electricity”.
He had also recently stopped using ChatGPT.

But in that link:
Later there is Freedman quote about how he has been asked about topics he has no expertise in because he has Nobel. But that makes it an issue for people who are elevating a Nobel prize winners opinions of those topics. It’s seems unreasonable to expect Nobel prize winners to self censor in an effort to avoid this.
