    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman apologized to the town of Tumbler Ridge.

    The suspect in a school shooting at the Canadian town described violent scenarios to ChatGPT, but even though OpenAI banned the account, it did not alert law enforcement about the person.

    ”I want to express my deepest condolences to the entire community,” Altman wrote in a letter published by the local publication Tumbler RidgeLines. “No one should ever have to endure a tragedy like this.”
