Florida AG announces investigation into OpenAI over shooting that allegedly involved ChatGPT

Florida’s Attorney General, James Uthmeier, announced Thursday that his office planned to investigate OpenAI over the alleged role of ChatGPT in a deadly shooting last year. In April 2025, a gunman opened fire on Florida State University’s campus, killing two and injuring five. Last week, attorneys for one of the victims of the shootingclaimed thatChatGPT had been used to plan the attack. The family of the victim has said that theyplan to sue OpenAI over the incident. “AI should advance mankind, not destroy it,” Uthmeier saidin a statementposted to X. “We’re demanding answers on OpenAI’s activities that have hurt kids, endangered Americans, and facilitated the recent FSU mass shooting. Wrongdoers must be held accountable.” Uthmeier added in a video that subpoenas were “forthcoming” as part of the probe. ChatGPT has been linked to agrowing number of deaths and violent incidents— including murders, suicides, and shootings — and has added to worries over the advent of what psychologistscall “AI psychosis,”delusions that are reinforced, encouraged, or deepened by communications with chatbots. For example, Stein-Erik Soelberg, a man with a history of mental health issues, had regularly communicated with ChatGPT before he killed his mother and then himself last year, according to a Wall Street Journalinvestigation. The chatbot frequently seemed toreinforce the paranoid thoughtsthat consumed him in the lead-up to the murder-suicide. When reached for comment by TechCrunch, an OpenAI spokesperson provided the following statement: “Each week, more than 900 million people use ChatGPT to improve their daily lives through uses such as learning new skills or navigating complex healthcare systems. Our ongoing safety work continues to play an important role in delivering these benefits to everyday people, as well as supporting scientific research and discovery. We build ChatGPT to understand people’s intent and respond in a safe and appropriate way, and we continue improving our technology. We will cooperate with the Attorney General’s investigation.” Florida’s probe continues a string of bad luck for OpenAI. ANew Yorker profileon Sam Altman published earlier this week showed criticism and discontent within the company and among its investors, even quoting a Microsoft executiveas saying: “I think there’s a small but real chance he’s eventually remembered as a Bernie Madoff- or Sam Bankman-Fried-level scammer.” Meanwhile, a Stargate-related project in the United Kingdomhad to be paused, reportedly due to high energy costs and regulation.

Kiwibit’s AI-powered bird feeder is my new backyard buddy

Kiwibit’s AI-powered bird feeder is my new backyard buddy

Earlier this month, I got my hands on theKiwibit Bird Feeder 2 4K AI Camera, and it has become my favorite backyard accessory. Setting it up is pretty straightforward. Multiple mounting options allow you to place the feeder on a pole, window ledge, or tree. Its dual seed compartments are designed for easy refills and cleaning. The solar panel on top ensures you don’t have to worry about batteries running low. Durability and camera quality are also strong points. Other specs include support for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, cloud storage, built-in two-way audio with a microphone and speaker, and a 130-degree wide-angle lens. As soon as I installed it in the backyard, I connected the feeder to the companion Kiwibit app on my phone. This is where you can be notified when a bird stops by, watch recordings, and track all the visits. A few weeks into testing is when the real fun started. My phone buzzed with a notification every time a new visitor showed up, and I found myself eagerly waiting for updates. Even on extremely rainy days, I managed to entice a few birds, including a stunning northern cardinal that I’ve now come to anticipate seeing every morning. As of this writing, the device has successfully recorded visits from six species. I’ve been addicted ever since. I find myself eagerly checking the app every morning to see which feathered little guy stopped by. I show off the videos to almost everyone I know as if they’re my own pets. One amusing notification I keep receiving is “a nuisance animal detected” when squirrels raid my birdseed stash (which happens as often as you’d expect). The app uses Kiwibit’s proprietary bird-identification algorithm to identify over 10,000 bird species, such as blue jays, ravens, and mourning doves. The Activity tab is particularly useful, as it tracks the number of “visits” captured, videos recorded, and total species observed. You can also navigate through the calendar to view specific days. The Birds tab offers in-depth information on each species, featuring detailed descriptions from Wikipedia. However, I did notice that the system — which typically costs between $179.99 to $249.99 depending on the model — occasionally has trouble accurately counting “visits.” For example, if a house sparrow is feeding in front of the camera for several minutes, the AI might record it as multiple visits, even if the bird hasn’t moved that much. More expensive models are currently available at a discount forPrime Day at Amazonorvia Kiwibit themselves. Overall, testing the Kiwibit Bird Feeder 2 has been delightful. If you’re looking for a way to connect with nature while having some fun collecting bird species like Pokémon, give this smart feeder a try. Just be prepared for all the squirrels to visit, too. This post originally published May 29 and has since been updated to reflect new promotional pricing.

Anthropic’s Claude Tag is learning your company, one Slack message at a time

Anthropic’s Claude Tag is learning your company, one Slack message at a time

Anthropic is introducing Claude Tag in research preview, an “always-on Claude” that lives in Slack and acts as an AI teammate. The new feature — which allows users to tag @Claude to provide insights in chats and assign tasks — will begin in research preview, available through Slack for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers. Claude Tag is an evolution ofseveral integrations that already exist. Users can already DM @Claude within Slack or tag it in channels for on-demand help, andClaude Code in Slackroutes coding tasks from channel mentions to full coding sessions on the web, posting updates back into the thread. But Claude Tag adds a layer of persistent context and memory that would be difficult to maintain with previous tools. “As Claude follows along with its channel, it learns ever more about the work,” reads a statement from Anthropic. “Claude can also automatically gather facts from elsewhere in the organization, if it’s granted permission to read other channels.” With Claude Tag, everyone in a given Slack channel can access a single Claude identity, meaning “anyone can see what Claude has been working on, and can pick up the conversation from where the last person left off.” System administrators will specify which tools, information, and channels Claude can access, and each Claude identity will stay scoped to whichever channels the admins define, so that a Claude set up for legal work can’t seed memories into the engineering channel, for example. When assigned a specific task, Claude Tag will break down the task into stages and will work through them using whichever tools it has access to, responding in a Slack thread with what it has created. But Claude Tag also features an ambient mode that proactively jumps into the chat of its own accord to keep your team updated, flag things from across the organization, and follow up on threads or tasks that have been forgotten. Anthropic says this makes it feel like you’re “working with a real colleague — one that can produce work in public view, with far greater context and understanding than before.” That context is an increasingly critical part of enterprise deployments, and Anthropic isn’t the only company focused on it. Microsoft also has Graph, expressed through Copilot and Work IQ.Snowflakeand Databricks are positioning their platforms as the back-end support containing tacit organizational knowledge that agents can tap into.Glean is also building an intelligence layerthat understands company context and sits between the model and the enterprise data.

Fika Jobs raises $4M to build a video-first hiring platform where AI agents interview candidates

Fika Jobs raises $4M to build a video-first hiring platform where AI agents interview candidates

The hiring process has long been criticized for its inefficiency and opacity. Candidates spend hours writing applications and submitting cover letters, only to disappear into what often feels like a black box. Generative AI has only made things messier, with employers increasingly relying on AI-powered screening systems to sift through an overwhelming number of submissions. Stockholm-based startupFika Jobsthinks there’s a better way. The company is building a video-first hiring platform that combines AI interview agents with short-form video profiles, creating something that feels like a cross between LinkedIn and TikTok. Instead of relying solely on resumes, candidates complete AI-powered interviews designed to showcase their personality and communication skills. Fika Jobs announced on Tuesday a $4 million pre-seed round, which will be used to continue developing the platform, grow the team, and prepare for a wider launch later this year. For job seekers, the process starts by connecting a LinkedIn profile. Fika’s AI reviews the candidate’s background and generates personalized interview questions. Candidates then complete a roughly 10-minute video interview with the AI agent, currently powered by Google’s Gemini models. After the interview, Fika automatically turns responses into short video clips and organizes them into a profile. Instead of applying to every new role, candidates maintain a live profile that employers can discover and revisit as new opportunities arise. The idea came from co-founders and brothers Jakob Dubois (CEO) and Alexander Dubois (CTO) while they were building their previous startup. “When we were building [social app] Gaff, we spent a lot of time recruiting and almost passed on a candidate because his resume did not really stand out,” Jakob Dubois told TechCrunch. “We ended up speaking with him anyway, and within minutes, his grit, drive, and ambition became obvious. Exactly the kind of person we wanted to hire.” That experience convinced the founders that some traits that employers care about most are difficult to capture on paper. Unlike most competitors (Alex,Maki, andMercor, among others) that focus on helping employers source, screen, and match candidates more efficiently with AI, Fika is building a platform where candidates maintain video-first profiles and employers browse a pool of people who have already been interviewed and evaluated by AI. If successful, Fika Jobs could help employers assess communication skills and cultural fit early in the hiring process, complementing traditional resume and application reviews. This approach may be especially valuable for early-career professionals and candidates from non-traditional backgrounds, whose potential is not always apparent from a resume alone. Of course, video profiles introduce real bias risks that are also worth acknowledging. When employers can see a candidate’s race, age, gender, physical appearance, and accent before evaluating their qualifications, it opens the door to discrimination that a resume, for all its flaws, at least partially obscures. There’s a reason some companies have moved toward blind resume screening. The platform plans to open early access to candidates this week, with a broader public launch expected this fall. The company will initially focus on Sweden before expanding internationally. Fika currently has a small team but expects to reach around 10 employees by the end of the year. More than 100 companies are on the waitlist, say the founders, though they declined to disclose which ones. Separately, they said more than 50 companies have tested the platform, including Plenty Labs, SICS.ai, Kognity, and Rebtel. The platform is free for job seekers. Employers pay nothing up front, but Fika takes 10% of a candidate’s first-year salary upon a successful hire. (The company notes that this is lower than the 20% to 30% placement fees often charged by traditional recruiters and headhunters.) The round was led by Luminar Ventures, with participation from Alliance VC and King co-founders Sebastian Knutsson and Riccardo Zacconi, the duo best known for creating the hit mobile game Candy Crush.
