Summary
Elon Musk is suing OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, saying the artificial intelligence company abandoned its founding mission to prioritize the benefit of humanity over profit. Is this just a bunch of industry drama, or could it be a real turning point in the development of generative AI? And, how the cultural conversation around shoplifting has played out at one CVS store. Plus, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty, and Kimberly shares a hair-raising leech story.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
-
- “The legend of the empty CVS in Washington, D.C.” from The Washington Post
-
- “CDC ending five-day COVID isolation guidance” from The Hill
-
- “Elon Musk Sues OpenAI, Sam Altman, Saying They Abandoned Founding Mission” from The Wall Street Journal
-
- “Can “Dune: Part Two” bring audiences back to movie theaters?” from Marketplace
-
- “Why are so many CEOs heading for the exits?” from Marketplace
-
- “More US high schools now require personal finance courses” from Marketplace
-
- “The Rise of the Do-Nothing Vacation” from The Wall Street Journal
