There have been at least 24 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of April 28. Nine were on a college campus, and 15 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left at least 14 people dead and 17 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

and this is good
Even After Two Massacres, OpenAI Still Hasn’t Stopped ChatGPT From Helping Plan School Shootings It's practically begging to help people plan mass shootings.

The URL of that last article you linked is SO misleading!
ChatGPT...where is the closest bar?
Maybe he's "using AI" to refer the IP address of people using AI to plan school shootings to the FBI?
Still hasn't materialized in lack of shootings this year, when are they supposed to stop now?
That's higher than either 2025 or 2024!
I love how the url slug for that article seems to imply that it's about openai stopping shootings.
