Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death.
Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...

I saw somebody on AOTY saying people shouldnβt compare Lordeβs new music to Melodrama, but with respect, thatβs the consequence of making the best pop album since Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. Thatβs always going to be the comparison point.

Really beautiful essay here. I think it draws a really interesting parallel between the very 2000s instinct to hate art for teenage girls with the fear of coming out too late.
It also identifies the absolutely true fact that Diablo Cody is as much a girlβs girl as a screenwriter could be.
