本周在美国法院提交的文件显示，聊天平台Discord被Tumbler Ridge枪击案的凶手广泛用于策划这起致命袭击的具体细节。
Documents filed in U.S. court this week show that the chat platform Discord was used extensively by the Tumbler Ridge shooter to plan out the logistics of the deadly attack.
这一消息传出之际，另一家科技公司OpenAI已面临巨大的政治审查，并因ChatGPT平台涉嫌协助策划这起枪击案而遭到多起诉讼。该案件造成八名受害者死亡，其中大多数为12岁和13岁的未成年人。
The news comes as fellow tech company OpenAI is already under immense political scrutiny and facing several lawsuits for the role its ChatGPT platform is alleged to have played in helping plan the shooting, which left eight victims dead, the majority of whom were 12 and 13 years old.
不列颠哥伦比亚省（B.C.）政府也是起诉OpenAI的机构之一，指控该公司本应将其聊天机器人与枪手之间令人不安的对话向有关部门报告。
The B.C. government is among those suing OpenAI, alleging it should have flagged troubling conversations between its chat agent and the shooter to authorities. On the campaign trail, B.C.
在竞选活动中，B.C.新民主党（NDP）领袖David Eby表示，他的法律团队将审查法院文件中披露的新信息，并再次呼吁对所有社交媒体和人工智能公司实施更严格的联邦监管。
NDP Leader David Eby said his legal team would be reviewing the new information released in the court filings, and again called for stricter federal regulations against all social media and AI companies.
他表示：“如果你发现用户之间讨论如何造成伤害或对儿童实施暴力……你就有义务向警方报告。”
"If you become aware of a conversation between users about causing harm, violence against children ... you should have an obligation to report that to police," he said.
但他也区分了Discord促成两人对话的情况，与OpenAI产品被指明确为枪手提供指导的不同。
But he also drew a distinction between Discord facilitating a conversation between two individuals, and OpenAI's product allegedly explicitly providing direction to the shooter.
法院文件揭示了Tumbler Ridge枪击案计划的更多令人不安的细节。一名美国居民因在大规模枪击案发生前数月向凶手提供建议和经济支持而受到指控。退休联邦调查局（FBI）特别探员Dan Brunner也提出了类似的区分，他表示，在大型社交媒体平台上监控所有用户之间的对话，而又不越界，可能非常困难。
Disturbing new details of Tumbler Ridge shooting plans revealed in court documents U.S. resident charged with offering advice, money to Tumbler Ridge killer in months before mass shooting Retired FBI special agent Dan Brunner also raised the distinction, saying it can be difficult to monitor all conversations between individuals on large social media platforms without crossing important boundaries.
他说：“我们将变成一个监控国家，监控每个用户在所有社交媒体平台、所有设备上的所有通信……我认为这正是一条非常危险的滑坡。”他还对人工智能能否检测出此类对话表示担忧。
"We become a surveillance state where we're monitoring all the communications by every user across every social media platform over every device … I think that is a very dangerous slope to be going down," he said. He also expressed concern about the potential for AI to detect such conversations.
“你划定的界限在哪里？”他问道，并表示，这是立法者和公众之间需要展开的重要对话。
"Where do you draw the line?" he asked, saying it was an important conversation for lawmakers and the public to have.
联邦公共安全部长加里·阿南达桑格里表示，在全面调查结束之前，他对此事发表评论还为时过早。
Federal Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said it would be "premature" for him to weigh in on the matter until after a full investigation concludes.
联邦政府目前正在起草一项名为《安全社交媒体法案》的立法，称其旨在减少网络危害。
The federal government is currently working on legislation known as the Safe Social Media Act which it says is aimed at attempting to reduce online harms.
周二，美国司法部宣布，30岁的詹姆斯·科迪·布莱恩特因策划在国外谋杀他人而被捕并面临指控，该罪名最高可判处无期徒刑。
Planning violence against Discord's terms of service On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced 30-year-old James Cody Bryant had been arrested and charged with conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country, a charge that is punishable by up to life in prison.
针对布莱恩特的证据主要基于他与枪手杰西·范·鲁特瑟拉尔之间持续数月的Discord对话，内容涉及策划一起大规模伤亡事件。
Much of the evidence presented against Bryant is based on months-long Discord conversations between Bryant and the shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, planning a mass casualty event.
法院文件中披露的聊天记录包括袭击地点、所用武器，以及布莱恩特将如何代表范·鲁特瑟拉尔进行直播。
The chats, contained in court filings, included where to carry out the attack, what weapons to use and how Bryant would livestream it on Van Rootselaar's behalf.
根据法院文件，在坦布勒里奇枪击事件发生后，Discord识别了相关账户，并将信息分享给了联邦调查局。
According to the filing, Discord identified the accounts in the aftermath of the Tumbler Ridge shooting and shared that information with the FBI.
该平台表示，两人的对话“涉及武器、弹药盗窃、燃烧装置制作、目标评估、袭击直播的相关后勤安排，以及事发当天的最终协调”。范·鲁特瑟拉尔所用武器的照片也曾在Discord上分享。
The platform wrote that the pair's conversation "included discussions about weapons, theft of ammunition, incendiary device construction, target evaluation, logistics relating to livestreaming the attack, and final day-of coordination." Photos of weapons used by Van Rootselaar were also shared on Discord.
Discord的社区准则还指出，威胁伤害他人和协调暴力行为均违反其服务条款，并警告称，任何违法行为都将被报告给相关机构。
Discord's community guidelines also state that threats of harm and co-ordinating violent acts are against its terms of service, and warns it would report any violations of the law to applicable agencies.
在一份书面声明中，Discord表示其“强烈谴责暴力行为”，并强调公司对“任何支持、鼓吹或实施暴力行为的人采取零容忍政策”。声明还重申，在调查与Van Rootselaar和Bryant相关的账户后，公司主动将相关信息披露给了执法部门，并删除了这些账户。
In a written statement, Discord said it "strongly condemns violence" and that it has a "zero-tolerance policy for anyone who supports, promotes, or engages in violent acts." It also reiterated that after investigating the accounts linked to Van Rootselaar and Bryant, it proactively disclosed the information to law enforcement and removed the accounts.
声明称：“随着调查的继续，我们将继续与有关部门密切合作。”同时，该公司也向“遇难者家属以及所有受此悲剧影响的人表示哀悼。”记者称，Tumbler Ridge枪手使用ChatGPT的细节比此前所知的“更加令人不安”。不列颠哥伦比亚省政府正就该公司涉嫌在Tumbler Ridge大规模枪击案中发挥作用一事起诉OpenAI。声明还表示，所有对话均为一对一交流，而非在公开或群聊中进行。
与一些其他大型公司不同，Discord上的大部分活动都发生在仅限邀请加入的服务器中，或通过私信进行，这使得有关部门更难对其进行监控，同时也增强了隐私性。
"We will continue to work in close [co-ordination] with authorities as the investigation continues," the statement said, and the company extended its "condolences to the families and to everyone impacted by this tragedy." Details of how Tumbler Ridge shooter used ChatGPT 'far more disturbing' than previously known, reporter says B.C. government suing OpenAI for alleged role in Tumbler Ridge mass shooting It also said all the conversations were one-to-one, and not in public or group chats. Unlike some other major companies, much of the activity on Discord takes place in invite-only servers or through direct messages, making it more difficult for authorities to monitor them while amplifying privacy.
Brunner表示，很明显Discord上发生了非法行为，该公司在枪击事件后与有关部门合作的做法“值得肯定”——但他仍对该公司应在何时介入这一问题心存疑问。
Brunner said it was clear illegal action had taken place on Discord and it was "great" the company is working with authorities in the aftermath of the shooting — but he still had questions about the point at which the company should have been expected to intervene.
他说：“当他们谈论枪支时呢？当他们谈论暴力时呢？当他们谈论以往的枪手时呢？”
"Where they talk about guns? Where they talk about violence? Where they talk about previous shooters?" he said.
“这确实是一个需要讨论的问题，但我很难完全理解其中的界限。”
"It's a conversation that should be had, but I find it difficult to wrap my head around."
