5 years ago today I sat for hours of cross-examination by Proctorio's lawyers. Today I am sharing the transcript in the public interest.

@gatesvp I appreciate the response.
First, I want to be clear that it bothers me that chats are not private.
However, if you have a dozen employees monitoring someone, debating whether or not they are dangerous, and they take no action to alert the relevant authorities, they are responsible for the harm caused by that decision. Law enforcement, not tech bros, need to decide whether to act when evidence shows a threat.
I agree it may not have saved lives. Time for an independent inquiry!
This 5 star Proctorio review was written by GenAI.

Finally got a hold of the Orion Newby vs. Adelphi University judgment.
Link: https://www.nycourts.gov/REPORTER/3dseries/2026/2026_26021.htm
In short, Adelphi used Turnitin to accuse Orion, a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder, of using generative AI to write an essay. He was sanctioned and experienced harm. He spent over $100K in legal fees and won.
People with ASD have been reported to have higher rates of false positives from Turnitin's AI detector. Stop using Turnitin if you don't want lawsuits.
Hat-tip: @davidpwhelan
OpenAI could have prevented the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, BC. A dozen employees debated contacting law enforcement and decided to do nothing. This is more blood on OpenAI's hands. British Columbia must take action.

Still looking for this judgment, if anyone has PACER access. I'll cover any costs.
