There's an important stipulation on OpenAI's historic $6.6 billion funding round. AdvertisementOpenAI's historically large $6.6 billion funding round is bringing in checks from some of the biggest technology and venture capital investors. If the ChatGPT-maker doesn't complete its transition to a for-profit company within two years, investors in the latest round could ask for their money back, multiple outlets have said. But "if there's disagreement within the entity, then it's much harder for the regulators to approve it," he said. AdvertisementStill, the legal experts said that though OpenAI's transition to a for-profit company is a complicated one, it's doable.

Hill, 60, was named Nike's new CEO on September 19. He has worked in the company since the late 80s, aside from the last four years, which he spent retired. From there, he moved up in the ranks about every two years on average, from management to director to vice president. Still, if you ask Rohan Verma, a San Francisco-based executive coach and former senior executive at LinkedIn, it's doable. General Motors' CEO Mary Barra, Walmart's CEO Doug McMillon and Costco's CEO Ron Vachris each moved their way up from entry-level positions, Verma points out.

☆ Jamie Dimon says the 'Buffett Rule' approach to taxing the wealthy could solve America's debt problem

On PBS, Jamie Dimon described the Buffett Rule as a good idea for clamping down on US debt. AdvertisementJPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has put forth a solution to unrestrained US debt: Tax the rich at the same rate as middle-class people, or at a higher rate. It earned its name from the billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who famously criticized the fact that his secretary paid a higher tax rate than he did. If debt remains unchecked amid high interest rates, the government will face higher borrowing costs. AdvertisementOtherwise, higher borrowing costs mean Washington will have less to spend on social initiatives.

The idea of transforming Mars into a world more hospitable to human habitation is a regular feature of science fiction. “The key elements of our paper are a novel proposal to use engineered nanoparticles to warm Mars’ atmosphere, and climate modeling that suggests this approach could be much more efficient than previous concepts. NASA has sent robotic rovers to explore the Martian surface and the InSight Lander to study the planet’s interior. The median Martian surface temperature is about minus-85 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-65 degrees Celsius). For example, in the unlikely event that Mars’ soil contains irremediable compounds toxic to all Earth-derived life, then the benefit of warming Mars is nil,” Kite said.

Stretches for hip flexors, including the cat-cow yoga pose and compound stretches that target multiple muscle groups, are especially helpful for people with desk jobs, experts said. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds, and you can sprinkle in stretches throughout your day by taking a break from work every 45 minutes, or try 20-minute sessions, experts said. Other pros of pliabilityAs you’re working your way to a more flexible body, you may find stretching produces even more payoffs than just the flexibility itself.

Gigacasting is a form of die-casting — pouring materials like molten aluminum into large molds to form parts. For example, the front and rear portions of the early Model 3 chassis each contained more than 70 parts, according to Tesla. Reducing weight ultimately means more range for the customer, and substituting one large megacast for dozens of stamped parts reduces labor and boosts production, he said. Severinson views repair as a solvable challenge: "There is a solution to repairing also a casted rear floor," he said. Burns and Volk say that might be a sign that the company is hitting some technical limits.

The bank said recent supply chain checks show "exceedingly robust" demand for Nvidia's next-gen chips. Nvidia's potential $5 EPS in 2025 would give it a valuation of 25.6x on a forward price-to-earnings basis. Based on recent supply chain checks, UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri said "demand momentum for Blackwell rack-scale systems remains exceedingly robust." Sell-side consensus estimates expect Nvidia to deliver earnings per share of $3.62 in 2025, which gives it a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 35x. Also boding well for more gains for Nvidia is the growing "wall of worry" surrounding the stock in recent weeks.
