OpenAI is sued over ChatGPT's alleged role helping plan a mass shooting
The widow of a man killed in a mass shooting at Florida State University is suing ChatGPT maker OpenAI, blaming the artificial intelligence chatbot for contributing to the tragedy. The lawsuit says the alleged gunman Phoenix Ikner relied on ChatGPT to determine what type of gun to use and which location would allow for the most potential victims, among other information. The lawsuit was filed by Vandana Joshi. Her husband was one of two people killed and six others were wounded. She said in a statement Monday that “OpenAI knew this would happen." OpenAI denies wrongdoing.
דער קערפער פֿון השם"#Rabbi #RazielCohen, 29, known on #socialmedia as “#TheTacticalRabbi,” has spent recent years leading an unusual initiative in the #UnitedStates: an academy that trains #Jews in #firearms use and #selfdefense. Against the backdrop of rising #antisemitic incidents across the United States and growing anxiety within #Jewish communities since #Hamas’ #Oct7 terror attack, #Cohen says demand for his training programs has surged sharply.
Cohen was recently documented instructing students at a private #shootingrange in a wooded area of #Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains. During the training, participants practiced firing #AR15 #rifles, quick-draw drills and tactical movement. “Jews today understand that the only person who can protect their lives and their families is themselves,” he told the website NorthJersey [dot] com."
