#AxisofEasy 439: OpenAI Suppressed Warnings On Mass Shooter Months Before Spree

About this episode

The episode discusses the failure of systems designed to prevent mass shootings, focusing on the Tumbler Ridge shooter who was flagged by OpenAI.

The Tumbler Ridge shooter was flagged by OpenAI, had an expired firearms license, a documented mental health history, and repeated RCMP visits to the home. Eight people are dead. So why did every system designed to prevent this fail — and who decided to look the other way?
