Zuck can be happy: Threads reached 100 million users faster than ChatGPT. Mark Zuckerberg had cause to celebrate over the weekend as Meta's newest app, Threads, passed the 100 million user milestone less than a week after its launch. The would-be Twitter competitor is now the fastest-growing app ever, beating ChatGPT, the generative AI chatbot that corporate America hasn't stopped talking about all year. But its leap to 100 million users had a massive jumpstart thanks to its integration with Instagram, whose billion-plus users are actively encouraged to download the new app if they fancy adding a new social-media timesuck onto their devices. ChatGPT, released to the public November 30, surpassed the 100 million user milestone in January.

▼ + stars: | 2023-07-06 | by ( Sawdah Bhaimiya | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

An alternative to the four-day workweek is attracting interest: working nine days, in every 10. A new survey found 68% of UK professionals would be keen to work for firms offering this policy. Interest in the reduced work week stems from increased demands for work-life balance and flexibility. Another alternative to traditional five-day weeks, however, is starting to gain support among both employers and employees: working nine days in every 10. Around 28% of employers surveyed have already implemented or are planning to introduce the alternative work week — 32% of which are large companies with over 1,000 employees.

Once Musk decided to implement the rate limit, many Twitter workers asked in private Slack channels if it was a permanent change.

OpenAI's buzz has a lot of tech workers eager to join the generative AI company. "Other than them I can't think of any other prominent company adopting this model at this scale," Musa said. Signing bonuses are very rare; there is no target performance bonus; and there is also little to no room for negotiation on compensation, Musa and another person familiar with the company said. All of those things are standard with other tech companies, from startups to Big Tech firms like Meta, Google, and Microsoft. Over the course of four years, the vesting period for the PPU grants, most OpenAI workers can expect to take home at least $2 million in equity pay alone.

Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison is a fellow billionaire and longtime friend of Musk. Even Elon Musk's close friend and financial backer Larry Ellison isn't safe from the Twitter owner's refusal to pay various bills and expenses. Oracle, the company Ellison cofounded and where he remains chairman and CTO, is the latest Twitter vendor to go months without being paid for services rendered, according to two people familiar with the company. Stiffing Oracle is more of a surprise given Musk's close personal and financial relationship with Ellison. Ellison was subpoenaed as part of Twitter's lawsuit to force Musk into acquiring the company for the agreed upon price.
