    They didn’t.

    They’re claiming they could have stopped it if not for those pesky privacy laws, as an excuse to get rid of them.

      oh, that would explain why they gave this information. Why would someone think it’s a good idea to tell that “I could have stopped a mass killing but I didn’t want to”

      Almost as if using an LLM as a therapist was a bad idea from the start. It’s obviously not bound by confidentiality.

        It is. But over the years I’ve come to learn that masses of people do bad ideas regularly.
