The lawsuit IS the activism - money is the ONLY thing that these companies understand & care about. Read it again - you did miss it. Then consider how you’d feel if this was YOUR child.

The lawsuit says OpenAI should take steps such as mandatory age verification for ChatGPT users, parental consent and control for minor users, and automatically end conversations when suicide or self- harm methods are discussed.

OpenAI, the lawsuit stated, had the ability to identify and stop dangerous conversations, redirecting users such as Adam to safety resources. Instead, the Al model was designed to increase the time users spent interacting with the chatbot.

The company said it doesn't refer self-harm cases to law enforcement to respect user privacy. However, it does plan to introduce controls so parents know how their teens are using ChatGPT and is exploring a way for teens to add an emergency contact so they can reach someone

Tech companies, including OpenAI, are emphasizing Al's benefits to California's economy and expanding partnerships with schools so that more students have access to their AI tools. California lawmakers are exploring ways to protect young people from the risks posed by chatbots and also are facing pushback from tech industry groups that have raised concerns about free speech issues.

I'd feel awful, it's all terrible. But I'd know that it wasn't some random company's fault. It wouldn't be my first or 10,000th instinct to sue for money. But to each their own. There is a much lower bar they have to pass to win a civil lawsuit, so maybe they have at least some chance of winning.
