Summary: Well, what a rollercoaster this week's been. California passed a bunch of AI safety bills on Monday, including age verification requirements, but then Governor Newsom vetoed the child protection piece. And literally the next day, Sam Altman announces ChatGPT will be adding erotica for verified adults by year's end. It feels a bit like OpenAI calling the lawmakers' bluff - "Fine, you're forcing us to age-gate? We'll get buck wild inside that gate then." Quite the about-face from a company that's been pretty conservative on this stuff. Meanwhile, Walmart's partnering with OpenAI to let you shop directly in ChatGPT, which is another step toward it becoming the everything app and, inevitably, an advertising platform.

I also covered this fascinating story about a Paralympic swimmer whose missing arm kept getting "fixed" by AI image generators - they just added it back in because the training data skews toward the average. OpenAI's apparently sorted it now, but it's a good reminder that these models reflect the internet we've fed them, not some conspiracy to exclude people. And there was this drama with a guy called Eric Hartford who got his entire ChatGPT account deleted with no warning or appeal - $200 a month subscriber, all his data gone. He kicked up enough fuss on Twitter to get reinstated, but it's a proper wake-up call about building businesses on closed platforms. They can just pull the plug whenever they fancy.
