2026-07-23 — First real entry: OpenAI’s health layer goes live, MH still absent

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Health went GA to all US users 18+ (07-23), linking Apple Health data — the same week as a wave of suicide/ psychosis-reinforcement suits and a 42-state AG probe of the general model. Reads as the evidence-gap thesis in miniature: a frontier lab building a formal “health” layer precisely because unmanaged de-facto health use (>1M/week suicidal-planning signals on the general model) is the liability. MH specifically is not a named feature of the launch — it walls off general physical-health tracking while the companion-chatbot harm keeps accruing on the same underlying model. Cross-refs openai-health and ai-therapy-regulatory-reckoning (where this was first logged 07-24 but not yet folded into this meta-thread). (TechCrunch) ⟨daily 2026-07-28⟩
