OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, said Friday it considered alerting Canadian police in 2025 about the online activities of the suspect in one of the worst school shootings in the country’s history.

The San Francisco tech company said it identified the account of Jesse Van Rootselaar in June via abuse detection efforts for “furtherance of violent activities.”

It considered whether to refer the teenager’s account to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but ruled that it did not meet the threshold for referal to law enforcement.

Instead, it banned the account for violating its usage policy.
OpenAI said the threshold for referring a user to law enforcement is whether the case involves an imminent and credible risk of serious physical harm to others. The company said it did not identify credible or imminent planning.

The question is how actively they're monitoring the questions and conversations of regular people, and how secure those conversations are.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

OpenAI could have stopped Canadian trans teen’s school shooting — but didn’t because of greed: bombshell lawsuits
 

OpenAI could have stopped a trans teen’s slaughter that killed eight people — but was too greedy to install safeguards to rein in the ChatGPT bot advising the nut, according to bombshell new lawsuits.

The inhumane move meant the platform’s chatbot only “deepened” 18-year-old school shooter Jesse Van Rootselaar’s “fixation and pushed them toward the attack” that killed six kids and two adults in Canada on Feb. 10, said victims’ families in seven suits filed in federal court in California on Wednesday morning.

The lawsuits accuse ChatGPT’s parent company OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman of “designing a dangerous product, ignoring the warnings of their own safety team … and choosing profit over the lives of the children of Tumbler Ridge,” the court papers claimed.

Van Rootselaar’s conversations with the chatbot had grown so concerning that his account was deactivated by ChatGPT’s own safety team in June — seven months before the killings, the court papers said.

But there were no safeguards in place to stop Van Rootselaar from setting up a new account and carrying on with the evil plan under a different user name.

And how exactly would those safeguards be implemented?  A nutcase will find ways around them.
