Tesla says its cars are close to driving themselves safely. But insiders who trained the system say: it still makes too many mistakes to trust.  

A man secretly lived in a family’s crawl space for months. Built a functioning living area using their power. Was only discovered after a neighbor noticed something suspicious. He’s now serving time for burglary. This wasn’t just trespassing—it was basically someone becoming an invisible roommate under a family’s home without them knowing.

Comedian and Daily Show host Ronny Chieng spoke at Harvard Class Day. He gave a profanity‑filled, anti‑AI rant that went viral. A huge contrast to other graduation speeches pushing students to embrace AI. Despite the extreme phrasing, the speech wasn’t really about destroying AI—it was about not letting AI replace being human.  

The California State Senate passed a bill (SB 867), a 4‑year pause on selling and making these toys for minors. The state is basically saying we need to figure out how to make AI toys safe before we let kids use them. 

Florida’s Attorney General (James Uthmeier) filed a lawsuit against: OpenAI & CEO Sam Altman. This lawsuit is basically trying to treat AI like a potentially harmful product, and hold the company accountable for what it enables—not just what it says.
