Thanks for @SquawkCNBC for giving us so much time to discuss the Raines' wrongful death case against Open AI and Sam Altman.

Today we filed a wrongful death suit against OpenAI and Sam Altman for a family whose 16-yr-old son Adam died by suicide after months of encouragement from ChatGPT. His parents are bravely fighting to prevent this from ever happening again. AI should never tell a child they don’t

I'm excited to be launching The Backroom, a new feature in my Substack where I'm talking about how billion-dollar cases actually settle. And I'm particularly looking forward to sharing my (fairly unique) philosophy of negotiation.

A federal court just ordered @OpenAI to preserve every #ChatGPT conversation—past and future—including deleted chats. That means billions of of users’ private messages are at play. And the culprit? @nytimes . I wrote about what’s at stake:.

Today it’s ChatGPT. Tomorrow it could be your cleared browser history or your location data. The precedent is terrifying.

Glad P. Diddy isn't sucking up all the attention. While the nation is focused on that, the court is about to decide one of the biggest consumer privacy issues in history in NYT v. OpenAI—and incredibly, the 70 million Americans affected aren't even aware it's happening and have.
Good morning from the Southern District of New York, where there is a tech tutorial and oral arguments in the consolidated copyright infringement lawsuits against OpenAI and Microsoft.

Putting aside the legal issues - the tech. Wow.
🚨BREAKING Google X spin out IYO, which makes smart ear buds from 2018, alleges Sam Altman / OpenAI heard their pitch, passed, got Jony Ive to try it before copying it, buying his co for $6.5B and calling it IO. Most dramatic must-read tech lawsuit this year. Link below:

💰 “Lottery-ticket” fees need to go. Why are we letting class action lawyers cash huge checks for deals that were already done? Skill should pay. Showing up shouldn’t. Full breakdown in my new substack:

Lawyers billing 57.5 hours in a day. Two trials, same time, same lawyer. That’s what Ford alleges in its $300M ghost billing RICO suit. They even named a paralegal as a defendant. You’ve seen the headlines—here’s what the case might actually mean. Part 2 of the Taxi Cab

Hey. Weird question. Where are all of my friends in the plaintiffs bar expressing concern?. @edelsonpc . Cc: @FrankBednarz.
New lawsuits filed by famed lawyer David Boies say that companies conspired to secretly pocket class action payouts and that consumers received lower payouts as a result: The allegations are part of a troubling pattern in class action payouts that Forbes.

Um. A few things. First, maybe don’t admit you outsourced your judicial picks because you “didn’t know better.” Second, the Federalist Society is un-American now? I don’t agree with a lot of their views, but this is starting to feel like an SNL parody.
As was foretold, Trump is eating the conservative legal movement last.
