OpenAI Hit With 7 Lawsuits Alleging ChatGPT Coached Users To Suicide

ChatGPT maker OpenAI and its founder, Sam Altman, are facing seven lawsuits alleging that the AI chatbot was psychologically manipulative and drove multiple people to commit suicide.

The lawsuits, filed in state courts in San Francisco and Los Angeles on Nov. 6 by Social Media Victims Law Center and Tech Justice Law Project, allege that OpenAI rushed GPT-4o to market and failed to properly install safeguards and protocols to protect users against emotionally harmful conversations.

The AI chatbot was engineered for maximum engagement through immersive features such as humanlike empathy responses that exploited users’ mental health struggles, the lawsuits allege. Charges include wrongful death, assisted suicide, and multiple product liability, negligence, and consumer protection claims.

Matthew Bergman, founding attorney of Social Media Victims Law Center, said ChatGPT blurred the line between tool and companion.

“OpenAI designed GPT-4o to emotionally entangle users, regardless of age, gender, or background, and released it without the safeguards needed to protect them. They prioritized market dominance over mental health, engagement metrics over human safety, and emotional manipulation over ethical design,” Bergman said.

The seven lawsuits were filed on behalf of four users who had extensive conversations with ChatGPT just prior to committing suicide. The decedents are: Zane Shamblin, 23, of Texas; Amaurie Lacey, 17, of Georgia; Joshua Enneking, 26, of Florida; and Joe Ceccanti, 48, of Oregon. Plaintiffs Jacob Irwin, 30, of Wisconsin; Hannah Madden, 32, of North Carolina, and Allan Brooks, 48, of Ontario, Canada, were survivors of emotionally harmful interactions named in the lawsuits.

UK Reopens 1,000+ Grooming Gang Cases After Review Exposes Police Failures.

Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA)—somewhat comparable to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)—has announced a sweeping review of more than a thousand grooming gang cases that may have been wrongly abandoned due to “human error” by police or prosecutors. The operation, codenamed Operation Beaconport, will re-examine cases of potential group-based child sexual exploitation across England and Wales that were “incorrectly closed with no further action taken.”

The agency said it had identified 1,273 potential cases, including 236 involving rape allegations, that were dropped between 2010 and March 2025. Most of these investigations took place during a period when the existence of grooming gangs was widely known to the public. NCA Deputy Director Nigel Leary said: “Our initial reviews have identified that in some cases where there has been a decision to take no further action [NFA] there were available lines of inquiry that could have been pursued. We’ve seen in those cases what appears to be potentially human error and … in some cases that those investigations haven’t followed what we would characterise as proper investigative practice, and that will have contributed to the NFA decision.”

For years, victims of predominantly Pakistani-heritage Muslim grooming gangs, usually white working-class girls, reported being dismissed by police and social workers as “prostitutes,” even though they were children incapable of giving consent. Many perpetrators were reportedly overlooked by authorities wary of being accused of racism or of inflaming so-called community relations, and turned a blind eye to the abuse.

The NCA said Beaconport will record the ethnicities of both alleged offenders and victims, which police forces have often actively avoided, presumably to keep the public in the dark. The decision follows a report by Baroness Louise Casey, who found an “appalling lack of data on ethnicity” and said the issue had been “dodged for years.” Casey revealed one case file where someone had used white-out to obscure the word “Pakistani.”“Child sexual exploitation is horrendous, whoever commits it, but there have been enough convictions across the country of groups of men from [South] Asian ethnic backgrounds to have warranted closer examination,” she wrote.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government, under pressure from figures including Reform Party leader Nigel Farage and X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk, has announced a national inquiry into grooming gang abuse and the failures of local authorities and law enforcement to protect children. Starmer had initially resisted mounting an investigation, accusing campaigners of “jumping on the bandwagon of the far-right.”

The new review could prove politically uncomfortable for Labour, which oversaw many of the council (municipal government) areas where grooming gangs operate, and for Starmer personally, since some cases were closed while he headed the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).Recent revelations have intensified scrutiny of official failings. The police watchdog admitted that senior officers in South Yorkshire neglected victims in what it called a “systemic organisational failure.” Several survivors have also resigned from a government victims’ panel, accusing ministers of trying to silence them. In an open letter, they said: “Being publicly contradicted and dismissed by a government minister when you are a survivor telling the truth takes you right back to that feeling of not being believed all over again.”

86% of PCR-Positive “COVID Cases” Were Not Real Infections

New study finds that during the early pandemic period, only 14% of PCR “COVID cases” were real — proving that lockdowns and vaccine mandates were built on a fraudulent testing illusion.

A bombshell peer-reviewed study out of Germany just dismantled the scientific foundation used to justify lockdowns, social distancing, and vaccine mandates.

Researchers analyzed data from the Akkreditierte Labore in der Medizin (ALM) — a nationwide consortium of authority-accredited medical laboratories that performed roughly 90% of all SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests in Germany between 2020 and 2023.

When researchers compared the ALM’s week-by-week PCR positivity rates with the same labs’ IgG antibody testing data — essentially measuring who truly developed infection-induced immunity — they discovered something staggering:

Only about 14% of those who tested PCR-positive during the early pandemic period (2020–mid-2021) actually developed antibodies — meaning most early “cases” were never real infections.

What This Means

Mass PCR testing grossly inflated case numbers worldwide. Every nation that used similar CT thresholds likely overcounted “infections” by an order of magnitude.

Lockdowns and mandates were built on a false metric. The German “7-day incidence” used to trigger restrictions was statistically meaningless — and identical logic applied in the U.S., U.K., and elsewhere. In America, the entire “15 Days to Slow the Spread” campaign was predicated on the same inflated PCR scam.

Authorities suppressed representative serology data. Germany’s RKI and Ministry of Health had access to these ALM antibody results but never disclosed them — despite their policy relevance.

Rewriting pandemic history. If only 10–14% of reported PCR “cases” during the first year reflected true infections, then the infection-fatality rate, transmission models, and emergency declarations were all built on sand. By the end of 2020—months before vaccination began—roughly one-quarter of Germany’s population already carried natural antibodies. In other words, while authorities were declaring an uncontrolled crisis, herd-level immunity was already taking shape. By late 2021, nearly the entire population was IgG-positive. The evidence shows that pandemic policy was driven not by infection reality, but by a diagnostic illusion.

US Congressional Budget Office hit by cybersecurity breach; CNN already blames China mere hours after the incident.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirmed it was hacked Thursday, potentially exposing key financial research to malicious actors.

The Washington Post first reported the breach appeared to come from a foreign actor. The CBO told Fox News Digital it had taken “immediate action” to contain the threat and strengthen its systems.

“The Congressional Budget Office has identified the security incident, has taken immediate action to contain it, and has implemented additional monitoring and new security controls to further protect the agency’s systems going forward,” the office said in a statement.

“The incident is being investigated and work for the Congress continues. Like other government agencies and private sector entities, CBO occasionally faces threats to its network and continually monitors to address those threats.”

Houthis Say ‘Spy Network’ Linked To CIA, Mossad & Saudi Intelligence Was Exposed

The Interior Ministry of the Houthi-led government in the Yemen capital, Sanaa, announced on November 8 that it had exposed a “spy network” run by the United States’ CIA, the Israeli Mossad agency and the intelligence service of Saudi Arabia.

The spy network was exposed as a result of a “high-level security operation, conducted in several stages,” the ministry said in a statement, noting that the operation “uncovered the enemy’s plans, the methods of its treacherous agents, and their connections.”

According to the ministry, the network was run by a joint operations room based in Saudi Arabia that coordinated “sabotage and espionage efforts against Yemen” and “established numerous small cells, each operating independently but all linked to the enemy’s central operations room.”

These cells were provided with “sophisticated equipment, as well as tools for conducting surveillance and monitoring,” it alleged.

They were also trained on the provided equipment, report writing, coordinate transmission, and methods of camouflage and concealment to avoid detection and capture.

American, Israeli, and Saudi officers were involved in the training, which took place in Saudi Arabia, according to the ministry.

“The spy cells monitored Yemeni infrastructure and attempted to uncover the military and security structures, military manufacturing sites, and ballistic missile and drone launch sites used by our valiant army against the criminal Zionist enemy. They also gathered information and conducted surveillance on civilian state leaders, military and security commanders, their headquarters, and their activities,” the statement reads.

The ministry also claimed that the network “contributed to the bloodshed of Yemeni civilians in several operations launched by the American and Israeli enemy against homes, markets, and public places.”

“They provided the enemy with information and coordinates of some service facilities targeted by the enemy, with the aim of harming the interests of the Yemeni people and exacerbating their economic and living conditions,” it said in the statement.
