Two AI industry updates in one post:
- The Seattle Times and Newsday are suing OpenAI and Microsoft over the use of their articles to train AI models.
- Sam Altman apologized for the "chaotic" launch of GPT-6 Astra, which briefly locked paying subscribers out of access.
(The latter is a secondhand claim and not officially verified.)
