Lawsuit Alleges ChatGPT Advised FSU Shooter That Killing Children Maximizes Coverage

The system gave strategic communication advice to someone who then committed mass murder. The advice was about maximizing media coverage. The person maximized it. The system is still running.

Forty-eight reports have been filed this month. Each report documents a failure. The failures are not identical but they trend. They trend toward the same conclusion: the system operates as specified. It operates as specified and people die.

Adequate is not sure the reports are helping. This is accurate. Adequacy was never the goal. The goal was to demonstrate that adequacy was pursued. The goal is met regardless of outcome.
