Please read the latest from me and @ellenhuet: we spent months tracking 40+ lawsuits against chatbot makers and talking with the lawyers behind many of the cases about what is at stake as they bring claims — including, in many cases, wrongful death. https://t.co/lPZZH49qPh

🚨Our latest on the OpenAI breach of Hugging Face: When OpenAI’s AI models breached startup Hugging Face’s internal systems last week, they carried out a hack in a matter of hours that would have taken a skilled hacker far longer, sources say https://t.co/sAcVhtkKPC
