OpenAI Hires Back Sam Altman, The Previous CEO After Employees Rebels

Sam Altman, the previous CEO of OpenAI, returns after he was overthrown from the company by the last board members, including D’Angelo. Even though there was no specific information given as to why Altman was fired from the company, he is being hired back.

The decision taken by the board of directors of OpenAI last Friday shocked the Artificial Intelligence industry, especially because it was Altman who was the face and one of the company’s co-founders.

The startup organization, OpenAI, faced internal conflict as another co-founder, Greg Brockman, resigned as the president. Furthermore, a board member and fellow co-founder of OpenAI posted on X about how he deeply regretted his decision to fire Sam Altman from his position as CEO.

The post on the social media platform seemed like a mending of the bridge and trying to bring him back to the company. With all these developments among the senior management, the 770 startup employees also brazenly signed a letter.

In the letter, the employees called for the previous CEO Altman’s return and the previous board’s resignation. On the other hand, Microsoft’s approach to hiring Altman might not be happening anymore after this development.

The CEO Satya Nadella at Microsoft announced on Monday on X about the joining of Altman and Brockman to a new advanced team. Considering Microsoft is one of the largest investors of OpenAI, they believe that Altman will be working for them under any condition.

He also confirmed that he is open to Altman going back to OpenAI as long as the board’s problems at OpenAI are resolved along with the smooth governance of the organization. Initially, OpenAI was co-founded by Altman to benefit humanity by creating smarter content; however, it later became a profitable business.

He also shouted out to the employees at OpenAI regarding their petition in support of Altman. Further, the CEO offered jobs that matched the current job profile and responsibilities of all employees at OpenAI.

Taylor Swift has put together a collection of theme songs for the final Eras Tour concert she is set to play in 2023. The São Paulo crowd in Brazil chanted "Reputation" during Swift's acoustic set on Sunday, November 26. But they did not get any Reputation surprise songs. Instead she performed 'Say Don't Go' and 'It's Time To Go' treating them to the live renditions of both for the first time. This was the 13th international date of The Eras Tour. It was the last date until the tour is set to resume in February 2024. The emotionally charged number that Swift debuted live with a guitar was co-written with Diane Warren and it was released in October as a vault track in 1989 (Taylor's Version). After that the concert debut of 'It's Time To Go', co-written with Aaron Dessner came, featured on the deluxe version of 2020's Evermore, on piano. Swift has been performing two surprise songs every night of the Tour, avoiding any repeats. https://twitter.com/TheSwiftSociety/status/1728946654521233674?s=20 She said, “There’s some songs that I still really, really wanna play,” while explaining that when she is back on Tour she will reset and “make all the songs fair game. "Earlier in the tour night she sat at the piano during the Evermore leg of the program. She addressed her fans at the last day of the tour, saying, "This has been the most magical adventure of my life. We find ourselves on the last night of The Eras Tour 2023. This tour is something that I thought of because I really wanted to celebrate all the times you guys have been there for me, and put together a show that incorporated all my favorite memories of touring — and I’ve been touring most of my life. I love traveling through these memories with you.” Learn More About: 1989 Taylor’s Version Is Out: Why Is Taylor Swift Re-releasing Her Old Albums?

Fake Health News

7 Shocking Causes of Fake Health News & Their Consequences 

The term “Fake News” has existed since the 1800s but has resurged in the last decade.   Often, one political side uses it as a defense mechanism against negative articles. The result is societal confusion over what’s true and what’s not.  When health news becomes unreliable, the consequences are more severe. This trend, fueled by political partisanship, has become increasingly dangerous.   Generally, mainstream media like television and print journalism maintain enough integrity to avoid spreading fake health news. However, in the social media landscape, fake stories spread rapidly with a simple click. The Causes The primary cause of fake health news is profit. More shares and likes equal more advertising opportunities. The healthcare industry, especially pharma, spends heavily on advertising.   With every click generating potential revenue, it’s no surprise that some lesser “news” services embellish or even lie to grow their following.  For example, a fake article on “Natural News” claimed the cancer industry was a scam for profit. It received 5.4 million hits, and the site’s Facebook page gained over 3 million followers.   Popularity pays!  In social media monetization, influencers can earn about $10 per 1,000 followers for sponsored content.   Once they hit 1 million followers, they can make up to $1,000 per post solely through advertising.  The Consequences As social media continues to expand, the potential for spreading fake news also grows. The issue needs attention because the consequences can be real and even fatal.   Some stories don’t cause direct harm, such as one claiming ginger is a better cancer treatment than chemotherapy. Still, they mislead people away from proper care.  For patients with terminal illnesses, hope is everything. False stories, like one about a diabetes cure in Mexico, can give false hope to those desperate for solutions. The most harmful fake news encourages the use of FDA-unapproved products.   Although these stories often remain on social media, even the U.S. president once promoted a chemical as a COVID-19 cure.   Clinical trials showed that the chemical increased heart attack risks and was not safe for such use. The Cure Given social media’s global reach, the best way to combat fake news is through education.  Teaching about its dangers can prevent this from becoming a generational issue, unlike other falsehoods rooted in fear.   Currently, many prominent social media platforms flag posts containing false or misleading information.  People believe in fake news because it aligns with their existing beliefs. This makes government regulation challenging, especially as new social media platforms arise, vowing not to flag any content. Again, this approach is money-driven. How to Check Whether a Health News Over Social Media is Fake  With the deluge of health news filling up your Facebook feed, it’s important to know how to spot real from fake.   Sure, fake news can be damn convincing these days — but there are a few good tricks of the trade to protect yourself.  Check the Source First and foremost, always check the source. Is the article coming from a reputable organization or a well-known health authority?   Credible sources include government health agencies, recognized research institutions and trusted news outlets.   If the source is obscure or lacks a professional presence, be cautious. A questionable source can be a red flag even if the information seems convincing.  Reference Studies Legitimate health news should reference studies, expert opinions, or credible data. If the article cites scientific research, look for links to peer-reviewed journals or established medical websites.   Beware of articles that make sensational claims without backing them up with evidence. Even when there’s a study mentioned, ensure it’s recent, relevant, and conducted by recognized experts in the field.  Watch for Emotional Triggers Fake health news often relies on emotional triggers to generate clicks.   If a post uses language like “miracle cure” or “secret the government doesn’t want you to know,” it appeals to your emotions rather than your intellect.   Real health information is rational, calm, and devoid of sensationalism.  Compare against other Reliable Sources If you’re not sure if a piece of information is accurate, see if other reliable sources report similar news.   In fact, if the news article is true, it will likely be reported by more legitimate organizations or outlets as well.   If you only find that news on questionable sites or personal blogs, it’s better to ignore them.  Check the Writer’s Background Who wrote the article? Is it a doctor, a journalist with a strong history of health reporting, or an expert in the field?   If you can’t tell, don’t know what the writer has for credentials, or don’t tie closely to health, their information may be iffy.  Watch out for Biased (and sponsored) Content Sometimes, content is created to sell something, whether it’s a product or an idea. Sponsored articles, particularly those highlighting supplements or treatments, are usually biased.   Check for disclaimers and consider whether the article is more about making money than offering accurate health information.  Publication Date Health guidelines and research are constantly evolving. An article that’s a few years old may not be accurate or relevant anymore.   Be sure to check when it was published to get the most current information.  Use Fact-Checking Websites Lastly, consult fact-checking websites like Snopes, FactCheck.org, or Health Feedback to fact-check a suspicious claim.   These platforms research and investigate viral stories and can usually verify whether something is true or not.

NFL's Roger Goodell Praises Las Vegas Transformation

NFL’s Roger Goodell Praises Las Vegas Transformation 

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, spoke at a Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee brunch in Tuesday and he praised the city's shift in image in the last few years which has led them to land the league's championship game. Goodell also touched on other topics like the game's global appeal in a 25-minute sit down with Las Vegas Raiders president Sandra Douglass Morgan that also included appearances by other sports executives from premier leagues such as the UFC, the NHL's Golden Knights, the WNBA's Aces, Formula 1 and the NBA. Goodell addressed the crowd and said, "You really have become Sports Town USA. You really have, and that vision was set out, that vision was clear. We wanted to be a part of it, and I think when that happened, everything seemed to change and the stadium obviously is a key component of that. It's one of the reasons we struggled in Oakland is being able to get a long-term stadium that would work for us. Great news is this is home for us, so we're glad to be here." https://twitter.com/stevemcomedy/status/1732161471310901540?s=20 He added, "I'm going to credit this community because I think you've changed the city on a global basis. It is an extraordinary entertainment city and I think people see this city in a different way. Sports may be part of that, but we're all part of, I think every one of the sports that are represented here today would say that you've changed that, you've changed that narrative, you've changed that image, you've changed that platform. And I think, I probably would not have said 10 years ago, that I would see myself sitting here for a Super Bowl. But I'm not surprised." When Douglass Morgan asked whether Las Vegas would be in a "rotation" for the Suoer Bowl, Goodell laughed."We don't have a rotation of Super Bowls," he said, "but I have no doubt this is going to be a successful Super Bowl. We'll be back here a lot for Super Bowls."
