🏛️ Florida Takes OpenAI and Sam Altman to Court
Florida just became the first state to sue OpenAI, and the 83-page complaint goes straight at CEO Sam Altman too, arguing the company sold ChatGPT as safe while burying the risks. The filing accuses OpenAI of deceptive and unfair trade practices, negligence, and breaking product liability law.
How should society handle the use of AI by children?
👶 The Case Centers on Kids
The lawsuit says weak age checks and limited parental controls left minors exposed, pointing to young users the state claims were harmed. Officials argue protecting children came second to winning the AI race.
With no real age verification, the complaint claims a kid can pose as an adult in seconds.
💸 Billions Could Be on the Line
Attorney General James Uthmeier wants Altman held personally liable and is asking the court to treat ChatGPT as a dangerous public nuisance. He says the potential damages could climb into the billions.
The civil case builds on a criminal probe Uthmeier opened in April, and he expects other states to follow Florida's lead.
🔍 DuckDuckGo Doubles Down on AI Free Search
While Google rebuilds search around AI, DuckDuckGo is betting big on the opposite, rolling out new browser extensions that lock its no AI search page in as your default. The push follows Google's biggest search shake-up in over 25 years, and it is the clearest sign yet that "no AI" is now a selling point.
🚫 One Toggle to Kill the AI
The new Chrome and Firefox add ons route you to a page with no AI answers, no chat prompts, and fewer AI images. Your settings even survive a full history wipe. Existing Privacy Essentials users will soon get the same AI controls baked in across Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera.
What's your preference?
📊 The Traffic Is Exploding
Visits to the no AI page recently tripled in a single day and are holding far above baseline. Installs jumped sharply after Google's AI first overhaul sent users hunting for alternatives.
The twist is DuckDuckGo is not anti AI itself, it still runs its own chatbot, but it is selling choice as the product.
Weekly Scoop 🍦
🧠 Weekly Challenge: Build an AI Brain With Sources You Trust
Challenge: With search getting noisier by the week, the smartest move is to feed AI only the sources you actually trust. This week, turn your scattered files into a private, citable knowledge base using Perplexity Spaces.
Here’s what to do:
📂 Step 1: Spin up a Space Open Perplexity, create a new Space (its free), and drop in 5 PDFs, notes, and links you actually trust. Add a standing instruction like "answer only from my sources and always cite."
🔎 Step 2: Mix your files with the live web Toggle between "My Files" and "Web" so you decide what the AI leans on, then ask the hard questions and watch every claim link straight back to a source.
🛠️ Step 3: Turn it into something you reuse Save your best thread as a shareable Page, or set a Scheduled Task so the Space refreshes the research for you on its own.
Is Florida’s lawsuit against OpenAI just the beginning of a litigation nightmare for the company? And will No-AI Searching explode in the coming years? See you next time! 🚀
