A Wild Two Weeks at OpenAI

from The Artificial Intelligence Show Podcast Hosted by ferty

In the span of two weeks, OpenAI closed the largest funding round in Silicon Valley history ($122B), was the subject of a Ronan Farrow New Yorker investigation, saw its CMO step down amid health issues, Sam Altman faced severe threats to his home, acquired a major tech media show, and published a sweeping 13-page industrial AI policy paper.
