Thanks for making the list Remmelt!

Not sure how important this one is, but Air Canada recently had to comply to a refund policy made up by its own chatbot.

Thanks! Also a good example of lots of complaints being prepared now by individuals

Obvious point that it would be neat for someone to write forecasting questions for each one, if there can be some easy way of doing so.

Workers' rights are usually under the umbrella of systematic violations of rights, a term usually associated with Human rights. We can use similar pointers and forecast questions/solutions. Some would overlap with data mining and fair use —which are hardly followed. It is not very hard for an average company to see the pivots created by OpenAI's crisis management team. OpenAI research leads say their recent model is trained on a combination of data that's publicly available as well as data that OpenAI has licensed, but they can't go into much detail on it.

The last part is no easy feat for anyone to dive into. This conversation came out less than two days ago and seemed quite intentional. We can safely assume that this is going to be the new norm for addressing lawsuits. It is admissible in all the formal proceedings, after all. It is important to note that, statements like: in some ways, we really see modeling reality as the first step to be able to transcend it, are meticulously said in the end. I don't think anyone would want to deal with them and get stuck in an expensive limbo beyond control, which OpenAI can afford.

Actually, looks like there is a thirteenth lawsuit that was filed outside the US.

A class-action privacy lawsuit filed in Israel back in April 2023.

Wondering if this is still ongoing: https://www.einpresswire.com/article/630376275/first-class-action-lawsuit-against-openai-the-district-court-in-israel-approved-suing-openai-in-a-class-action-lawsuit
