Comedian and Daily Show host Ronny Chieng spoke at Harvard Class Day. He gave a profanity‑filled, anti‑AI rant that went viral.

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.
