On April 25th, open AI CEO Sam Altman just dropped the public apology after his company missed a chance to tip off police about a user account linked to a tragic mass shooting in Canada.

Home, then hit Tumblr Ridge secondary school, taking out five kids and one educator wounding 25 others before ending her own life. The community is reeling, with leaders like British Columbia Premier David Evie voicing deep anger and grief, calling the missed alert a preventable heartbreak for those shattered families. Altman reached out to the local mayor, and Evie, owning the pain caused and pledged to team up with governments everywhere to tighten safeguards and stop repeats of this nightmare.
