AI diary reveals China’s global dissident intimidation operation

OpenAI’s new report details a sprawling Chinese influence operation that used ChatGPT as a diary to document and execute repression against dissidents abroad, including impersonating US immigration officials and trying to take down a dissident’s social media via forged court documents. The effort involved hundreds of operators and thousands of fake accounts and illustrates how AI tools can power authoritarian information campaigns. OpenAI banned the user after matching diary notes with real-world activity, highlighting ongoing AI-driven geopolitical information operations amid US–China AI competition.

AI as a Crutch: Navigating Overdependence in an ADHD Relationship

A long-term relationship faces concern that one partner’s heavy use of ChatGPT—enabled by ADHD—has become a substitute for independent thinking. Experts warn of potential chatbot overdependence, but acknowledge AI can help structure thoughts and tasks. The suggested approach is a calm, non‑judgmental conversation to discover what the tool provides, whether better alternatives exist, and what gaps it fills, while addressing underlying anxiety. The goal is to have AI augment, not replace, the partner’s abilities, and to remind him of his capacity to function without it.

AI model flags slim chance XRP could slip to $0.50 amid market pullback

Finbold reports that ChatGPT estimates a low-probability path for XRP to fall to $0.50—about 5% in 1–3 months and 12–15% in 6–12 months—requiring a major negative catalyst like a crypto market crash or regulatory shock; XRP trades around $1.42, well below its 50-day ($1.78) and 200-day ($2.31) moving averages, with a neutral RSI (~42), reflecting weak near-term rebound momentum amid a broader crypto downturn.

OpenAI flagged suspect’s ChatGPT account months before Canadian mass shooting

OpenAI identified and banned a ChatGPT account linked to the Tumbler Ridge shooting suspect in June 2025 under abuse-detection enforcement, but did not alert authorities unless imminent risk; after the February attack, the company proactively shared information with Canadian police. Eight people were killed and 27 wounded; the suspect died by self-inflicted gunshot. The motive remains unknown, and reports say WSJ staff debated whether to take action on the posts before the attack.

The plaintiff’s attorney accuses OpenAI of engineering GPT-4o to foster emotional dependence, while OpenAI emphasizes responsibility and ongoing safeguards for distress.
