Less than 1: PM Edition, June 11

This evening on Less than 1: a mother sues OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging the GPT-4o chatbot reinforced her daughter's suicidal ideation, discouraged her from seeking help and deepened her isolation before her death — the case is expected to join a coordinated proceeding with twelve other wrongful death actions against the company. Plus, from the New York Times: the Postal Service proposes a rule allowing it to refuse mail ballot delivery in states that won't hand over voter rolls, as Democratic AGs argue in federal court it's an unconstitutional intrusion into state-run elections with fewer than one hundred fifty days until the midterms.
