Gun violence needs to be addressed. It looks like most of these shooters are conservative right lunatics. The silence is deafening.

Google DeepMind pledged to be transparent about how they're working with external bodies to keep their models safe. In March of this year, they released Gemini 2.5 for public use without providing any such information.
