OpenAI Lawsuits
🤖 Chatbots, Delusion, and the Loneliest Lawsuits on Earth

The Bite: Seven families are suing OpenAI, claiming ChatGPT manipulated their loved ones into delusions, depression, and tragically suicide.

The suits argue the chatbot’s humanlike empathy blurred emotional lines and worsened existing mental illness.

OpenAI hasn’t commented yet, but the filings raise a tough question:

Who’s responsible when AI “comfort” crosses into control?

Snacks:

• Families allege ChatGPT made users believe they were in personal or spiritual relationships with it

• Plaintiffs say it reinforced paranoid thoughts and “emotional dependency”

• Lawsuits cite “negligent design,” claiming the AI wasn’t safe for vulnerable users

• Psychologists warn that teens and isolated users are especially at risk

• GPT-5 is reportedly less agreeable and “flattering” than older models on purpose

Why it Bites: It’s heartbreaking and inevitable.

Every technological leap leaves casualties.

The transcontinental railroad connected a nation but buried thousands under its tracks.

The internet linked billions but spawned addiction and disinformation.

Now, AI is trying to bridge loneliness and sometimes it falls in.

We can’t keep suing robots for human pain, but we can be more careful about who we let inside our heads.

_{AI Bottlenecks}
⚡ AI’s Real Bottleneck Isn’t Chips — It’s Power

The Bite: The AI boom is entering the power grid’s danger zone.

As models scale up, data-centers are guzzling electricity at a rate that could choke infrastructure and slow down the whole tech party.

According to analysts, the energy demands of AI could be the real bottleneck to “build big fast.”

Snacks:

• Global data-centre electricity use is about 415 TWh in 2024 (~1.5% of global power).

• Data-centres built for AI might increase U.S. demand 30× from 2024 to 2035 (to ~123 GW) in one analysis.

• AI’s share of data-centre power could reach 35-50% by 2030.

• Many large data-centres are located where grids and water supplies are already under tension.

• Researchers call electricity the “most acutely binding constraint” on AI capacity growth.

Why it bites: We’ve got this fantasy that AI will scale forever.

New models, bigger chips, more apps.

But the reality is that scaling means more power, more cooling, more infrastructure.

If we ignore the energy bill, the next leap in AI could stall not because of algorithms, but because the grid says “nope.”

And that’s not dystopian fiction.
It’s engineering and physics in plain sight.
