It’s been a month since OpenAI’s Sam Altman promised Premier David Eby and Mayor Darryl Krakowka that he would apologize to the community of Tumbler Ridge.
That apology was made public on April 24.
“To the community of Tumbler Ridge,” writes Altman. “The pain your community has endured is unimaginable. I have been thinking of you often over the past few months.
“When I spoke with Mayor Krakowka and Premier Eby about this tragedy, they conveyed the anger, sadness, and concern being felt across Tumbler Ridge. We agreed a public apology was necessary, but that time was also needed to respect the community as you grieved. I share this letter with the understanding that everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time.
“I want to express my deepest condolences to the entire community. No one should ever have to endure a tragedy like this. I cannot imagine anything worse in this world than losing a child. My heart remains with the victims, their families, all members of the community, and the province of British Columbia.
I am deeply sorry that we did not alert law enforcement to the account that was banned in June. While I know words can never be enough, I believe an apology is necessary to recognize the harm and irreversible loss your community has suffered.
I reaffirm the commitment I made to the Mayor and the Premier to find ways to prevent tragedies like this in the future. Going forward, our focus will continue to be on working with all levels of government to help ensure something like this never happens again.”
The apology comes the day after Premier Eby announced that the RCMP investigation into the shooting was now in “it’s final stages.”
The announcement came during a press conference with mayor Krakowka. During that meeting, Krakowka said he did not know when OpenAI would come forward to apologize.
