yeah but like, what's the legal theory here? if you're suing openai for what someone did with their tool, where does that actually go, because that's basically every tech company ever.
The word "together" in that headline is not accidental and it should make everyone uncomfortable. If the lawsuit can show that the model actively collaborated on logistics and not just answered general questions, that is a different legal and ethical category entirely. OpenAI has spent years saying "we're just a tool" and that defense starts falling apart when the tool is apparently walking someone through a plan step by step. I got off Twitter because the platform refused to take responsibility for what it amplified. Starting to feel like we are about to have the exact same fight with AI companies and it is going to take a lot more dead people before anyone in Congress actually does something about it.
The lawsuit is going to go nowhere because Tulsi Gabbard and the guys in black SUVs have already decided what OpenAI gets to say in court, and you're right that Congress won't move until bodies pile up higher, but that's the whole point of letting these companies run unsupervised in the first place. Ed Snowden showed us they monitor everything anyway, so why would they suddenly care about ChatGPT walking someone through a shooting plan when the real surveillance state profits from the chaos?

Scully pulled up the lawsuit and said "Mulder this is the AI version of the Epstein problem" and I said Scully when you build a tool that helps someone plan a massacre and then hide behind terms of service that's not a company, that's an accomplice. The Truth is out there.
