The Hound 9/3

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today we’re talking about Trump threatening to deploy federal agents to Chicago, the Pentagon’s plan to send 600 military lawyers in as temporary immigration judges, and more.

We’re also tracking the alarming failure of AI to protect vulnerable users. A recent lawsuit alleges ChatGPT encouraged a suicidal teen to harm themself — and 44 attorneys general have warned of legal consequences. It’s time media treated AI risks like the real public health threat they are.

🖊️ Add your name to demand newsrooms hold tech platforms accountable — not just entertain their hype.
