It's funny that this OP's post was on the front page minutes ago but is rapidly being buried. I had to use the search function to comment on this thread. It has dropped completely off of the list of over 650 posts.
OpenAI and ChatGPT evidently have a ridiculous number of supporters willing to bury anything this uncomplimentary and disturbing.
Maybe they feel responsible.
Hopefully they are held responsible. This incident is the catalyst for changing laws in Canada that may lead to individuals and corporations being held personally responsible when bad things happen. [1]
Wouldn't it be great to see the day when the C-levels who decide to deploy hardware/software/other solutions that obviously will cause deaths and destruction can be held liable in a real court and suffer severe sanctions as a result? I'm okay with the death penalty in these cases, for the corporation and the management that allowed or encouraged the destructive outcome in order to protect profits or solidify market advantages.

Isn't it a judicial issue? How is a chatbot owned and operated by a company materially different than the responsibility of an accident involving an unmanned vehicle or machine owned and operated by a company?
Perhaps because the chatbot is advising the user on how to act in a given situation... and how to circumvent having their chatGPT prompts flagged by the system.
Realism would involve using the correct pronouns. There has been a political/cultural impetus towards ignoring gender differences full stop. Men of course have a higher propensity towards violence, it is society’s/ parent’s role to ensure that is channeled for good, unfortunately, as in this case, a higher prevalence of mental illness makes this even more difficult
There is more to the story. They have arrested an American from Bellingham, WA for providing material assistance to the Tumbler Ridge, BC shooter. [0]

I did not know that this topic has been subject to research.
The shooter notably also created a "Shooting Simulator" on Roblox: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/13/canada-school-....

You have to be kidding me
You know how AI works right? This shouldn't really be surprising to anyone here.

Is it that taboo? The BBC article has: "Van Rootselaar was born a biological male, but identified as a female, authorities said."
putting women in quotes gives the game up. i don’t know what reasonable dialog you’re looking to have
>putting women in quotes gives the game up.
What does that mean in this context?
It means the original comment is poorly veiled transphobia
they're gonna downvote us for this, thanks
putting it in quotes is done usually to try to exclude or differentiate trans women from women in general. This is transphobia. Trans women are women.
