ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has said it considered alerting Canadian police last year about the activities of a person who months later committed one of the worst school shootings in the country’s history.
OpenAI said last June the company identified the account of Jesse Van Rootselaar via abuse detection efforts for “furtherance of violent activities”.
The San Francisco tech company said on Friday it considered whether to refer the account to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) but determined at the time that the account activity did not meet a threshold for referral to law enforcement.
OpenAI banned the account in June 2025 for violating its usage policy.
Yeah this is transparent, trying to play our emotions to give them license to run threat detection on us, which they are already doing as much as they are able. They are using age controls and the like to id every account with likeness and id and everything you say or look at along with all the cameras and microphones and records of you, to make half baked conclusions to be used against you in secret in ways you can’t know and won’t be able to challenge.
Bank loans, background checks, police attention, court treatment, government treatment in general, business treatment, digital price tags you are given, what search results the engines will show you, etc. All done by these soul less silicon valley lords that some of the least trustworthy pieces of shit in the world.
