Altman could reportedly receive a 7% equity stake, which would be worth about $10.5 billion at OpenAI's new valuation. In March, The New York Times reported Murati raised concerns about Altman's leadership style to the board before the ouster. Barret Zoph, the company's vice president of research, and Bob McGrew, OpenAI's chief research officer, are also departing the startup, Altman announced on X . "I obviously won't pretend it's natural for this one to be so abrupt, but we are not a normal company," Altman wrote.

Back then, breaking’s fundamental movements provided escapism and expression, competitive and spontaneous physical performance breathed to life by the dawning genre of hip-hop. But breaking — not “break dancing,” a term coined by media and disdained within the breaking community — no longer belongs solely to New York City. In Paris, Olympic breakers representing countries like Japan, Lithuania and Morocco will compete one-on-one in battles waged for a global television audience. Technology like VHS tapes, DVDs and video platforms like YouTube allowed breakers around the world to learn moves and iterate new ones. “That’s why I love it so much, because it’s never the same,” said Menno van Gorp, who will represent the Netherlands.

How Simone Biles Won the Olympic Women’s Gymnastics All-Around Gold1 USA Simone Biles 59.131 2 BRA Rebeca Andrade -1.199 points behind points behind 3 USA Sunisa Lee -2.666Simone Biles earned her sixth Olympic gold medal, and her ninth Olympic medal overall, in Paris on Thursday, clinching a win in the women’s gymnastics all-around final by more than a full point. The competition began with a commanding lead for Biles, who scored 15.766 for her namesake Yurchenko double pike, the hardest vault in the world. And Sunisa Lee, the defending Olympic all-around champion, trailed after the first three rotations but came back to win the bronze with a solid performance on floor. With Andrade at her heels, Biles took to the floor to perform the last routine of the competition. Since the first Olympic all-around competition in women’s gymnastics in 1952, only nine gymnasts had ever managed to win two medals of any color.

☆ Why OpenAI should fear a Scarlett Johansson lawsuit

“It doesn’t matter if OpenAI used any of Scarlett Johansson’s actual voice samples,” Li posted on Threads. Here, Johansson could accuse OpenAI of illegally monetizing who she is by essentially fooling users into thinking she had voiced Sky. But there’s substantial case law — and one very inconvenient fact for OpenAI — undercutting that defense, legal experts say. According to Johansson, OpenAI approached her to perform as Sky; Johansson declined. While California’s publicity law protects all individuals, some state statutes only protect famous people, and not all states have such legislation on the books.

Ozempic and Wegovy are both forms of semaglutide, a drug originally developed for diabetes. OEL SAGET/AFP via Getty ImagesOzempic and Wegovy are the brand names used by the drug manufacturer, Novo Nordisk. Tirzepatide, marketed as Mounjaro for diabetes, is a similar "game-changer" drug, and has been approved for weight loss under the name Zepbound. Ozempic has become the byword for semaglutide and similar drugs that cause weight loss (known as GLP-1s), regardless of which brand a person is taking or why. They work by suppressing appetite, but side effects such as muscle loss, nausea, and diarrhea have been reported, and it's common to regain the weight after stopping treatment.

OpenAI, and Altman himself, are at the heart of a debate about AI development: how quickly should humanity race toward building “artificial general intelligence”—that is, fully humanlike intelligence, or maybe even superhuman intelligence.

Lee submitted his master’s thesis film “Joe’s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads,” starring Monty Ross, to the Student Academy Awards. The Student Academy Awards may not be as glitzy or high profile as the Oscars, but in its 50 years it has proven to be a vital launching ground for emerging filmmakers. Inclusion and access may sound like recent buzzwords, but the film academy has been striving to break down barriers to entry for decades. “Once your name is tied to a Student Academy Award, it just opens all of these doors,” Carter said. Like Lee did four decades earlier, he applied to the student academy awards while studying at NYU.

ET, OpenAI publicly announced that it had fired Altman over concerns that he was not always truthful with the board. OpenAI’s strategic partners, including investor Microsoft, were also reportedly informed of Altman’s ouster minutes before the board’s announcement. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella reportedly mediated the discussion. Hundreds of employees on Monday morning signed an open letter calling on the company’s board to resign and reinstate Altman and Brockman. The Verge reported Monday afternoon that Altman and Brockman could still return to OpenAI if the board members who fired him resign.
