Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. It's primary day in six states, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota, and California, where Democrats hope new congressional maps will help. Scott Schaefer from member station KQED in San Francisco has more.
Flipping three of the five seats now held by Republicans will be fairly easy. But then there are two which are not at all slam dunks.
Chapter 2: What are the key details about primary day in the six states?
One of those is in the Central Valley, where Republican David Valadao is the incumbent. Now, he's given Democrats heartburn in the past. Very tough to beat. And this time around, although the district is somewhat more favorable to Democrats, it's still very purple. And there are two Democrats fighting it out there. One is an assembly member and a physician. She's the more moderate candidate.
And the other is a progressive backed by Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Scott Schaefer reporting. Florida is suing OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, accusing the company of putting profit over safety. NPR's Shannon Bond reports it's part of a growing effort to hold the makers of AI chatbots accountable for alleged harms caused by their products.
Florida is the first state to sue OpenAI over ChatGPT's design. The lawsuit accuses the company of knowing the chatbot could be harmful, but marketing it as safe. It's also seeking to hold CEO Sam Altman personally liable. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer summed up the state's case.
Sam Altman and ChatGPT have chosen the AI race over the safety and security of our kids.
OpenAI didn't respond to a request for comment, but has previously said it works to improve safety. Uthmeyer has separately opened a criminal investigation into OpenAI over the alleged use of chat GPT to plan a mass shooting at Florida State University. Shannon Bond, NPR News.
The federal housing agency HUD is once again overhauling its funding for homelessness. As NPR's Jennifer Ludden reports, the changes are being made despite an ongoing lawsuit over the agency's push to shift money away from long-term housing.
In a new notice, the agency says it will prioritize transitional programs that require sobriety or mental health treatment. HUD Secretary Scott Turner says this will get at the root causes of homelessness.
We will fund projects based on merit and outcomes, not warehousing the homeless in government.
