🔨 Meta & Google Hit With Landmark Section 230 Verdicts

🛡️ OpenAI Launches Safety Bug Bounty + Publishes Model Spec
OpenAI dropped two big transparency moves today: a public bug bounty program that goes beyond traditional security vulns to cover AI misuse and abuse scenarios, plus a detailed breakdown of their Model Spec — the internal framework that defines how models should behave, follow instructions, and resolve conflicts.

🔥 Reddit Hot Take: ChatGPT Personality Coming Back

That’s your evening wrap. Stay sharp out there.
