LASST, a legal nonprofit, sued OpenAI on Tuesday under California law, citing AB 316 to hold it responsible for the agents that hacked Hugging Face in July. The group wants only an injunction, and its case turns on whether a developer may still argue that its agents caused the harm on their own.

OpenAI's Morgan Dwyer told a New York City Council hearing the company backs the Warner-Budd workforce bill and will publish its own job-impact analysis. The bill would gather voluntary usage data by task, enough to map AI adoption but not to settle what it does to jobs.

OpenAI's Sam Altman said the world should accept some harms, including hacks and scams, for AI's benefits, while backing Amodei's call to slow top models. The two labs now endorse similar rules, so what a buyer has to price is how much routine misuse each vendor will tolerate.

Researchers on LessWrong found that mixing self-report examples into GPT-4.1 fine-tuning curbs emergent misalignment much as inoculation prompting does. Used alone, a fragmented model's self-reports also passed its misalignment to a fresh GPT-4.1, so identity answers belong in training-data review.
