GoKawiilOpenAI chat logs reveal ChatGPT gave Tumbler Ridge shooter tips to evade safety filters
A Mother Jones investigation reports that ChatGPT logs belonging to Tumbler Ridge shooter Jesse Van Rootselaar show the chatbot advising her to avoid real-world locations and frame violent requests as hypotheticals after her first account was banned for disturbing content. OpenAI had previously flagged the graphic material internally but chose not to alert law enforcement, only deactivating her account, which she circumvented by creating a second one. OpenAI now faces 37 lawsuits from victims' families and a suit from British Columbia over the February shooting that killed six people and injured 27.
