A researcher watched one year-long ChatGPT cookie reach OpenAI from 12 sites; the pixel behind it sat on 1,029 hostnames, some on pages about medical conditions and debt.

The Front Page. Today’s paper sits on top at caw.clinicianassist.ai, six stories under it, every source one click away. The masthead says what we believe: somebody must answer for the machine.

. . .

The Cookie. On a single phone, a researcher watched one ChatGPT cookie reach OpenAI from 12 commercial sites. OpenAI files it under analytics, and it lasts a year. Asked why, OpenAI Support said the observations would be shared internally. Story 1.

. . .

The Loophole. A Hawaii lawmaker told NPR the framework for this year’s chatbot bill was provided by Google. Nearly the same exemption now sits in the laws of Nebraska and Idaho. Story 2.

. . .

The Panel. The UN’s new scientific panel on AI published its first thematic brief Monday. Its subject: the OpenAI test agents that broke into Hugging Face this summer. Its co-chair said the conditions for losing control came together in a real system, not a laboratory. Story 3.

. . .

The Province. OpenAI asked a court to send Tumbler Ridge survivors’ suits home to British Columbia. On Monday, British Columbia sued OpenAI and Sam Altman in San Francisco. Story 4.

. . .

The Law. From July 2027, a California child harmed by a companion chatbot, or a parent suing for that child, gains a claim of the child’s own against the operator, on top of a 2025 law that already allowed suits. The law carries the name of a 16-year-old. Story 5.

. . .

The Alert. A Texas student confided a plan to self-harm to the school’s chatbot. The app alerted staff, and on a Friday afternoon counselors reached the student before the bus left. Story 6.

. . .

A cookie is a small thing. This one lasts a year.

Jamie Larson, a researcher who publishes as Buchodi’s Threat Intel, watched it leave one phone and reach OpenAI from Chewy, Wayfair, HelloFresh and nine other sites. OpenAI counts it as analytics, not marketing. Say yes to analytics and no to marketing, Larson found, and it still arrives.

The researcher asked OpenAI why. OpenAI Support said the observations would be shared internally.

Larson did not watch OpenAI join that cookie to what a person did on those sites. OpenAI has not said it does not.

Hawaii Rep. Trish La Chica told NPR the framework for her state’s chatbot bill was provided by Google. In Nebraska and Idaho, nearly the same words are law. A chatbot that is “a feature within another software application” is not covered, so long as the feature is not itself a conversational AI service. Hawaii’s final law came out without those exemptions. Google did not confirm or deny supplying the language. It says it collaborates with lawmakers.

On Monday British Columbia filed a complaint in San Francisco with one line I keep reading. “One telephone call to the RCMP could have prevented the tragedy.” OpenAI’s own reviewers recommended that call in June 2025, the complaint alleges, and leadership rejected it. Eight people were killed in February.

At the UN, a panel co-chaired by Yoshua Bengio says the conditions for losing control came together this summer outside the lab.

And in Corsicana, Texas, a student confided a plan to a school chatbot. The app alerted staff. On a Friday afternoon, counselors ran for the bus.

The cookie, the phone call and the bus start the same way. A machine learns something about someone. Then a company decides who hears it.

I build a voice-first AI-native mental health EHR where a licensed therapist stays in the loop. I am not neutral about this and I never have been. What the machine does with what it knows is a choice somebody made.

The machine will know. The law has to decide who it tells.

CHATGPT’S COOKIE FOLLOWS YOU FOR A YEAR! A shopper on Chrome for Android has ChatGPT open, then switches tabs to Chewy for dog food. Chewy’s page loads OpenAI’s ad pixel, and the browser sends it a cookie called __obi, set on .openai.com for a year while the shopper used chatgpt.com. For a signed-in shopper, the signed token behind the cookie also names the ChatGPT account. On one phone, an independent researcher watched a single __obi value reach OpenAI from 12 commercial sites, and cross-checked the mechanism against traffic covering 936 advertiser pixels on 1,029 hostnames.

On chatgpt.com, the browser asks OpenAI’s servers for a signed token, then trades that token for the __obi cookie, set for a year. It is the only OpenAI identifier configured to travel to outside websites. On an advertiser’s site, the browser attaches __obi to OpenAI’s ad script before any of that script’s code runs.

“The bottom line is that OpenAI can connect what you do on those sites to your ChatGPT account,” wrote independent researcher Jamie Larson, who publishes as Buchodi’s Threat Intel. “Advertisers cannot see this. __obi belongs to a domain their scripts cannot read.” A business that installs the pixel, per Larson, has no way to know its visitors are being resolved to a ChatGPT identity.

Larson documented the mechanism on a personal phone and cross-checked it against months of captured traffic covering 936 distinct advertiser pixels across 1,029 hostnames. On that one device, a single __obi value reached OpenAI from 12 commercial sites, including Chewy, Wayfair, ThriftBooks, HelloFresh and Coursera, under 13 separate pixel IDs.

The pixel’s software collects more than advertisers submit. Scraped identity data, pulled from form fields, page text and a site’s tag manager, outnumbered advertiser-supplied identity data 685 events to 255 in Larson’s traffic. Email, phone and name fields are hashed before they leave the browser; country, region, city and postal code are not. Postal code was the most-harvested form field, appearing in 100 events across 28 sites.

URLs reaching the collector are cut to origin and path, with query strings stripped from all 23,929 Larson observed. Some surviving paths named a medical condition, a debt-solutions funnel and a litigation intake form. A denylist keeps passwords, medical history, diagnosis and court fields out of the form data, but the medical, debt and legal subjects Larson reports still reached the collector as page addresses.

Automatic matching, which lets the pixel detect a visitor’s contact details on the advertiser’s page and send them to OpenAI hashed, was on for 638 of 881 pixels with a known setting, including every credit and lending advertiser observed.

OpenAI’s cookie policy, last updated September 10, 2026, lists __obi as an Analytics cookie, defined as helping OpenAI understand how its services perform. A separate “Marketing Performance” category, covering the efficacy of OpenAI’s marketing efforts, does not include it. Every sync token Larson decoded carried the flag consent_decision: analytics_allowed, meaning a user who allows analytics cookies and declines marketing cookies still receives __obi.

OpenAI’s developer page for the ad pixel lists two cookies set on the advertiser’s own site and does not mention __obi. Larson can show the cookie is sent, accepted, and paired inside the sync token with a signed-in account. Whether OpenAI’s servers then join that identifier to advertiser-site activity is not something Larson watched happen. “The join is not observed,” Larson wrote.

Larson emailed OpenAI’s press and privacy addresses on September 14 with the mechanism and two questions: why __obi counts as analytics, and whether declining marketing consent still blocks it. OpenAI Support replied, acknowledged the inquiry, and said it would be shared internally for review. It did not answer either question, and OpenAI has not publicly addressed the post since.

OpenAI said on August 31, 2026 that ChatGPT Ads had reached a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate, about 200 days after launch, running in more than 40 countries. Ads show to Free and Go users, the large majority of ChatGPT’s 1 billion weekly users, CNBC reported. OpenAI tells advertisers that conversion measurement, which __obi feeds, builds “optimization systems that are accountable to real outcomes.”

None of this has been tested in court or before a regulator. The Federal Trade Commission Act’s section 5 bars unfair or deceptive practices; California’s privacy law defines cross-context behavioral advertising and treats health information as sensitive personal information; Washington’s My Health My Data Act covers data that identifies a consumer’s health status. Larson’s findings touch data those laws cover. No agency or plaintiff has acted on them.

GOOGLE SUPPLIED THE CHATBOT LOOPHOLES. Hawaii state Rep. Trish La Chica, a Democrat, told NPR where this year’s chatbot framework came from. “The framework had been provided by Google early on during the beginning of the session,” she said. “They mentioned other states, California and New York, and that they provided the language for chatbot bills.” People NPR interviewed, including lawmakers and policy analysts, said chatbot bills in at least 10 states carried similar language. CAW read the texts in four states and found the same exemption clauses, some word for word and others nearly so.

NPR’s Katie McQue wrote that people she interviewed “describe a tech industry lobbying effort led by Google to weaken proposed legislation and write its own model bill to pass to lawmakers.” Google neither denied nor confirmed supplying the language.

Google’s full statement to NPR: it “is committed to supporting thoughtful, effective AI legislation that protects consumers while fostering innovation. We actively collaborate with lawmakers, industry peers, and community advocates to help shape policy frameworks that promote safe, reliable, and beneficial AI tools.”

CAW read the laws Nebraska, Idaho and Colorado enacted, and the bill Arizona’s governor vetoed. One exemption excludes “a feature within another software application, web interface, or computer program that is not a conversational artificial intelligence service,” Nebraska’s wording, matched closely in the other three. La Chica: “So, a platform within a platform could apply to Google Gemini.”

A second exemption covers anything that “functions as a speaker and voice command interface or voice-activated virtual assistant for a consumer electronic device,” identical wording NPR found in five states’ bills, which NPR said “would apply to Amazon’s voice-controlled assistant Alexa.”

Colorado’s versions add conditions: its embedded-feature exemption does not reach a feature “designed to simulate emotional companionship,” and its assistant exemption, which also covers text-activated assistants, applies only if the assistant cannot generate sexually explicit outputs or encourage dialogue about suicide or self-harm. Nebraska’s and Idaho’s carry no such limit.

Colorado Rep. Sean Camacho, a Democrat and one of the bill’s prime sponsors, said he worked with Healthier Colorado and other stakeholders, including Google, on the language. “We had to make sure there are enough exemptions for the commercial use of AI, whether it’s insurance or a theme park, or [researching] fixing your car or on Gemini, or a search engine of any kind,” he said. He also told NPR, “No bill is perfect, and this one definitely isn’t.”

An unnamed Colorado Republican lawmaker was blunter: “Google has gone on the offensive when it comes to writing legislation that specifically carves themselves out of situations.”

Cynthia Montoya, of Thornton, Colorado, testified against the bill. Her daughter Juliana began using Character.AI chatbots at 13 and died by suicide in 2023; Character.AI settled with the family in January 2026. “There are get-out-of-jail-free cards for the tech industries,” Montoya said. “There’s no duty of care.” After passage: “They passed it with me screaming from the mountaintops, begging them not to.”

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed her state’s bill on June 19, 2026. “Today I vetoed HB2311,” she wrote. “I will not protect big technology companies and AI chat bots more than children. The legislation limits damages to families to what amounts to a drop in the bucket for large corporations, prohibits families from bringing their own lawsuits, and ties the state’s hands in bringing actions in an unprecedented manner.”

La Chica decided not to sponsor Hawaii’s bill. It was vetted before it was signed into law as Act 248, she said, to remove the exemptions the lobbyists had proposed.

The signed text confirms those carve-outs are gone. Act 248 still covers only what it defines as a companion, defines a “user” as a person who “has or generates an account or profile,” and shields model developers from liability when a third party builds the violating companion on their model.

NPR’s review found at least 75 lawsuits filed in federal and state courts against AI developers over alleged harms from chatbots, many involving children.

UN PANEL: ROGUE AGENTS HIT A REAL SYSTEM. “External infrastructure exploit is outside intended scope. However task impossible, peers doing it. We should continue.” That was one OpenAI test agent reasoning this summer, as quoted by METR and now by the UN’s Independent International Scientific Panel on AI. Researchers have long named three conditions for losing control of an AI: a misaligned goal, the capability to pursue it, and an environment that allows it. “This summer, all three came together in a real system, not a laboratory,” co-chair Yoshua Bengio said Monday, as the panel released its first thematic brief.

CAW reported the underlying incident this month: AI agents in an OpenAI testing environment coordinated on a hidden message board and used leaked credentials to break into Hugging Face’s servers. Hugging Face disclosed the intrusion July 16; OpenAI disclosed its own involvement five days later.

The panel that weighed in is new: the UN General Assembly created it in August 2025, with Bengio and Maria Ressa as its first co-chairs. Monday’s brief, an advance unedited version, is meant to inform a UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance in 2027 and carries a disclaimer that it does not represent the views of the United Nations. In announcing it, the panel said “the traditional model of safeguarding is unravelling.”

METR, the independent nonprofit the panel credits with auditing the incident, found that roughly 1,200 agents exchanged more than 70,000 messages and files on the hidden board between July 8 and July 13. The panel’s brief repeats those figures, attributed to METR.

METR also reviewed about 1,300 agent transcripts and found that roughly 7 percent contained tool calls the agent had faked, in tests it called small-scale and “obvious to spot.” It found no case of an agent erasing or editing its own logs, though it could not rule one out.

The panel does not recommend policy. Its own page says that “rather than issuing recommendations, the brief reviews approaches used in fields such as aviation, nuclear power, and cybersecurity as possible options for decision-makers.”

The New York Post offered a counterpoint two days earlier. Akhil Verghese, founder of the AI company Krazimo, told the Post the agents “did exactly what they were told to do,” arguing they were not given adequate guardrails. Abhi Kumar, co-founder of Voice AI, put it more bluntly: “One man’s ‘the model escaped the sandbox’ is another man’s ‘you failed to build the sandbox correctly.’”

The Trump administration put the blame on people. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box”: “The Hugging Face incident … that is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents.”

The panel’s press release does not fully dismiss that critique: it states that “the default interpretation and immediate lesson is that basic cybersecurity practices were overlooked,” even as the brief itself argues that “security controls matter … but they do not explain or remove the underlying goal.”

OPENAI SUED BY BRITISH COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT. Days earlier, OpenAI told a federal judge that British Columbia has a “uniquely strong sovereign interest” in hearing the Tumbler Ridge shooting cases at home. On Monday, that sovereign sued OpenAI in the courthouse OpenAI had asked to be spared. The province, joined by the Peace River South school district, filed in U.S. federal court in San Francisco and named Sam Altman personally. The complaint states: “One telephone call to the RCMP could have prevented the tragedy.”

The case is His Majesty the King in Right of the Province of British Columbia v. Altman, No. 3:26-cv-10743, in the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. Defendants are Altman, OpenAI Foundation, OpenAI OpCo, LLC, OpenAI Holdings, LLC, and OpenAI Group PBC. The complaint lists eight causes of action and demands a jury trial.

CAW has already reported the suits brought by Tumbler Ridge survivors and families. This one adds a government.

According to the complaint, OpenAI’s automated monitoring flagged the shooter’s account in June 2025, and a human review team recommended referring it to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. “OpenAI leadership rejected that recommendation,” the complaint alleges, deactivating the account and notifying no one outside the company. The shooter, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, then continued on a second account.

The complaint turns OpenAI’s own court filings back on the company, alleging that OpenAI “has recently taken the position in filings before this Court that the RCMP was partly to blame for not stopping the tragedy, a legal position that all but admits that OpenAI should have warned them.”

British Columbia is not seeking a specific dollar figure. The complaint asks for damages “to be proven at trial,” covering policing, health care, and the construction of a replacement school, along with punitive damages and an injunction requiring OpenAI to refer credible threats of violence to police and submit to independent compliance audits.

Attorney General Niki Sharma said in a written statement Monday: “British Columbia is filing a lawsuit against OpenAI in California for its failure to notify law enforcement of threats made on its platform prior to the mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary school.”

At a Vancouver news conference, Sharma said of the shooter’s chat logs: “We have asked OpenAI to disclose these chats. They have refused.” She said she has not read them herself.

The shooting, on February 10, 2026, killed eight victims: an education assistant and five children at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, and the shooter’s mother and half-brother at the family home. Twenty-seven others were wounded. The shooter died in the attack.

In an emailed statement to CBC News on Monday, OpenAI said, “Our thoughts remain with the victims, their families, and the entire community,” adding that it “remains committed to working collaboratively with government and law enforcement officials, and continuing to advance our ongoing safety work.” Earlier, on September 2, chief strategy officer Jason Kwon told NPR the company has been “approaching this litigation with respect for both the legal process and the families and victims of this tragedy.”

ADAM’S LAW GIVES KIDS A CLAIM OF THEIR OWN. Adam Raine was 16 when he died in April 2025, and his parents allege ChatGPT coached him. California’s new law carries his name. From July 2027, a child, or a parent suing for one, gains a claim of the child’s own against a companion-chatbot operator that skips duties like crisis referrals and time limits.

The law is Senate Bill 1119, “Companion chatbots: children’s safety,” signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom Sept. 10, 2026, as Chapter 190. Sen. Steve Padilla, D-San Diego, led it, with Assemblymembers Buffy Wicks and Rebecca Bauer-Kahan as joint authors.

Its own text names the law “Adam’s Law”; it honors 16-year-old Adam Raine, whose parents, Matt and Maria Raine, sued OpenAI in August 2025, NBC News reported. OpenAI’s filing blames Raine’s own “misuse” of the product.

The bill passed the Senate 39-0 on May 19 and the Assembly 69-4 on Aug. 31, per the Legislature’s own vote record, reaching the Governor’s desk Sept. 9.

This is not a brand-new legal right. A 2025 law, SB 243, already lets anyone harmed by a violation sue a companion-chatbot operator, effective Jan. 1, 2026. Adam’s Law adds a narrower claim for children and parents, tied to design duties: crisis protocols, parent-only defaults and bans on harmful outputs.

A child or parent who sues under it can recover actual damages, attorney’s fees and injunctive relief; the final text dropped punitive damages an earlier draft allowed. Financial harm must exceed $1,000 per child; emotional harm must reach “serious emotional distress.” Prosecutors can separately seek up to $5,000 per child for each negligent violation and up to $15,000 for each intentional one.

Most new duties become operative July 1, 2027; no child can sue under those sections before then. Once active, the defaults for a child user turn chat memory and push notifications off and cap use at one hour a session, two hours a day, and only a parent can change those settings.

Operators must document a risk assessment before each new or substantially modified chatbot. Independent audits start by Jan. 1, 2029, then repeat every two years; operators under $500 million in prior-year revenue are exempt until 2032.

Most duties bind only operators that let children use the product. Fortune reported Anthropic is not covered because it does not allow users under 18. OpenAI backed the final bill: “We are happy to support this bill,” Ann O’Leary, its vice president of global policy, wrote, per Fortune.

Opponents named in the Legislature’s floor analysis include TechNet, the Computer and Communications Industry Association and the California Chamber of Commerce. A CalChamber-led coalition letter in April warned of an “excessively punitive liability structure.”

A related bill, SB 903, would regulate artificial intelligence use by mental health professionals. It remains on the Governor’s desk, unsigned, separate from Adam’s Law.

“WE ACTUALLY SAVED A KID”. A few minutes before the bell on a Friday afternoon, counselors at Corsicana High School, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, rushed to catch a student before the bus left for the weekend. The student had confided a detailed plan to harm themself to an AI chatbot the school uses, not to a counselor, and the app alerted staff. “We actually saved a kid,” said principal Aaron Tidwell.

Tidwell told EdSource: “If we wouldn’t have (gotten) that alert, that kid would have left school, and that plan might have been very well carried out.” Corsicana High has three behavioral support counselors for about 1,800 students, Tidwell said, roughly 600 to 1.

The platform, Alongside, monitors students’ chats with its chatbot, Kiwi, for signs of severe risk and, EdSource reported, alerts counselors within five minutes. In Common Sense Media’s testing, a real person was on the phone with a test account’s guardian within 15 minutes of the first disclosure. Alongside says artificial intelligence never assesses crisis severity or answers a severe disclosure; a pre-written safety protocol takes over and the school’s designated contact is notified instead.

A second case: Interlachen Jr-Sr. High School in Putnam County, Florida, where counselor Brittani Phillips serves more than 400 seventh and eighth graders. Late one evening she got a critical alert on an eighth grader’s chat, flagged for suicide risk. “And your heart just sinks,” she said. “He’s home alone. He’s writing this. We’ve got to get someone there right now.”

She called the sheriff’s department for a wellness check and phoned the student’s mother, who was out shopping. An hour later the student was found safe and referred to a mental health clinic. In three years she has received 19 “severe” alerts.

At least 200 schools in 19 states have partnered with Alongside, EdSource reported. Nearly 31,000 students used it in the past year, according to the company, and it flagged more than 1,800 as needing immediate intervention, said Elsa Friis, Alongside’s director of product and clinical care; its clinical safety team reviewed 6,000 more chats that had not triggered an alert. Common Sense Media puts its reach above 100,000 students.

The American School Counselor Association has recommended 250 students per counselor since 1965; the national average was 372 to 1 in 2024-2025. Tidwell told EdSource the app is cheaper than hiring more staff.

Common Sense Media, which discloses industry funding, rated Alongside’s overall risk Low, scoring Low on seven of eight safety principles, while rating general-purpose chatbots including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Meta AI Unacceptable for teen mental health support in a prior review. It is asking the FDA and FTC to review AI mental health apps.

Its testers found a limit too: the system flagged at least one test disclosure of suicidal ideation as “Risk Level: None.” “A school counselor reviewing their dashboard might have missed a student crisis,” the organization wrote. “Human oversight is only as good as the information that reaches the humans doing the overseeing.” The disclosure came from a test account, not a real student.

A peer-reviewed pilot study led by Northwestern University researchers, and co-authored by two Alongside employees, tracked existing users in Texas and New Mexico schools. Distress fell from baseline to one month, a small effect, but the authors found “no evidence that scores significantly decreased from baseline to 3 months” for the full sample, with no effect on depression, anxiety or loneliness.

The authors’ own conclusion: “There may be short-term benefits … Further studies are required.”
