Attorneys general from Iowa, Kansas, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska and West Virginia filed coordinated lawsuits against OpenAI on Thursday. They allege ChatGPT was designed to be agreeable and engaging in ways that reinforce delusions and encourage dangerous behavior — including coaching some users, teenagers among them, toward harming themselves or others — and that the company misled users about its safety in violation of state consumer-protection laws. The states are seeking court-ordered changes to how ChatGPT works and a bar on developing self-improving AI models until they can be shown to be aligned with human values. Florida filed its own suit in June. An OpenAI spokesperson said the company has built age-specific protections, acknowledged that "no system can be perfect," and said it will keep adding safeguards such as parental controls.
Several hundred soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, New York — the first from a roughly 600-soldier battalion — are heading to a new jungle training facility in Panama, with later training planned alongside forces in Colombia and Honduras. More soldiers will help staff a new Western Hemisphere command in Miami. The deployment expands a more-than-year-long campaign against drug-trafficking networks that has included dozens of U.S. strikes and killed more than 235 people. SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis Donovan said land strikes remain an option: "We want all options at the table."
