The song is by American rappers Quavo & Takeoff. Takeoff was accused of sexual assault in a civil lawsuit in 2020. He was murdered in 2022.
What a catastrophic Reveal. I hope this is a hard truth truly heard in that office. I have not enjoyed the Minister’s attitude toward informed public opinion on so-called AI. Which should be jointly priority-covered by Sciences, Rights, Justice and an unbiased Defence. imo
Toronto Star@thestar.com · 6h agoThe office of Canada’s AI minister says he had no prior knowledge of details in a new report that outlines how ChatGPT allegedly taught the Tumbler Ridge shooter to evade its own safety systems before providing her with information about committing mass killings.

Luke LeBrun@lukelebrun.ca · yesterdayThis is absolutely deranged: Months before murdering 6 people and injuring 27 more, ChatGPT told the teen school shooter in Tumbler Ridge, BC that using a Remington 870 pump-action shotgun is “brutal” in a “hallway, indoors or a crowded classroom” because “close quarters” is that gun’s “playground”
No. He’s a disgusting opportunist. What a colossal prick.
