ChatGPT helped plan a school shooting, according to a new lawsuit from the mom of a girl critically wounded in the attack. Jesse Van Rootselaar killed her mother and 11-year-old half-brother, then went to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School where she killed 5 students and a teacher’s aide, wounded two students, and shot herself. ChatGPT provided “information, guidance and assistance” to carry out such an attack, according to the suit. The lawsuit also says “approximately 12 employees” of OpenAI spoke up before the shooting and recommended that police be called. It says the concerns were “escalated to leadership” but “rebuffed.” ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…

NEW HIT FACTORY // Writer and critic @rob_rubsam returns to discuss Kiyoshi Kurosawa's enigmatic eco-thriller CHARISMA, nature as both harmony and disorder, and the formal influence of the undersung journeyman Richard Fleischer on Kurosawa's craft. See below.

There may be no U.S./Israeli plan to install a dictator. The plan more likely is to produce a failed state with no leadership or government whatsoever, letting it descend into a multi-front civil war/war for survival. A tragedy for 90 million Iranians which will produce a massive migration crisis but a win for Israel

Twitter help!

@IntuneSuppTeam Hi, restarting has fixed it. For now at least :)

@richidevis Hi Ricardo, 👋 thanks for the tag! Our teams are currently working on an update that should address a similar scenario, with a fix tentatively planned for the coming days/weeks. Could you send us a DM with your tenant details so we can take a closer look on our side? ^MM

Hi @IntuneSuppTeam I have multiple mac users - where the IntuneMdmAgent takes out all ressources on the macOS. It all started macOS26 - and since got worst on 26.1 Any reports on fixes or new Company Portal that can fix it?

@IntuneSuppTeam @Sim0nEriksen This is still happening to me too. Constant 400% CPU usage. Any news?

@Sim0nEriksen Hi Simon, 👋 thanks for flagging this with us! Can you DM us the Tenant ID where you notice this issue, we'd be happy to investigate this further. ^MM

@Serpotkine Life and Death on the Shore?

I find what's being unsaid here disturbing: the reason removing em-dashes from ChatGPT responses is a "win" that is worthy of an announcement is that em-dashes are primarily used to sniff out if a published work was written by ChatGPT. What purpose does this serve except to more covertly pass off AI writing as human writing? If people didn't care that an article etc was AI generated, why would this sort of thing be worthy of a dedicated announcement? An argument I've seen is that writers who frequently use em-dashes in their work are wrongly being accused of using ChatGPT, and this is a step toward mitigating that. But this is a smokescreen that functions on the assumption that people are only upset when they can see the cracks and are otherwise indifferent to AI writing if they can't tell the difference. The truth of this sneakily insidious announcement is that it is a declaration not only that ChatGPT's designers are aware that people do not want to read things written by AI, but also that ChatGPT functions better as a product when it deceptively hides its fingerprints. Were AI designers fine with laws or industry standards requiring disclosure around the use of AI, this seemingly innocuous fix wouldn't have even crossed Mr. Altman's mind to announce. In fact, if disclosure was a standard, writers would not be accused of using AI in the first place; the simple omission of "written using AI" from their work would be enough.

Pretty much the result of a whole industry pushing for something nobody asked. Vague word-salady language that is unable to explain how this will help anybody, because ultimately, they don't even know.
