An amended lawsuit by a teenager's parents, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, alleges OpenAI twice weakened ChatGPT's suicide protections to boost engagement, including removing suicide and self-harm from "disallowed content" in early February.

NHTSA said Friday it was seeking information from Tesla about 'Mad Max', a more aggressive Full Self-Driving mode that some drivers say exceeds posted limits ('We are going 75 in a 50,' one YouTuber said).

On October 23, U.S. District Judge Fred Slaughter asked attorney William J. Becker Jr., who represents writer Chris Epting in Chris Kluwe's defamation suit, what sanctions he deserved for AI-assisted briefs. Kluwe's lawyer says the briefs cited three nonexistent cases. 'Zero is the answer,' said Becker, who apologised and blamed haste and a lack of resources at his nonprofit.
