The CEO Of OpenAI Joins Microsoft Adding Further To The Controversy

In a chaotic boardroom coup at the OpenAI on Friday, Sam Altman, the company’s CEO, was overthrown. He was also the company’s co-founder; however, news came in of him joining Microsoft after he was fired.

Microsoft is one of the biggest stakeholders of OpenAI, with an investment of $13 billion. The balance of power is a significant move in the age of Artificial Intelligence, especially with the integration of new technology over the decades.

After Altman was fired, another co-founder of OpenAI, Greg Brockman, joined the company Microsoft. Brockman was the president of the OpenAI company, thus influencing how OpenAI will function in the future.

After Altman was fired, Mira Murati took the position of interim CEO of OpenAI but will return to her original role of chief technology officer at OpenAI. The ChatGPT company will hire Emmett Shear as the interim CEO, leaving her position as the former CEO at Amazon’s streaming service Twitch.

Satya Nadella, the Microsoft CEO, posted on the social media platform X about their hiring of Sam Altman at Microsoft. The two ex-colleagues and co-founders of OpenAI, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, will lead an advanced AI research team at Microsoft.

The ChatGPT organization, OpenAI, significantly changed the industry, especially with the introduction of artificial intelligence. The balance of power changed, and with the acquisition of Altman and Brockman, Microsoft had the upper hand.

Altman visited OpenAI’s headquarters and wrote, “First and last time I ever wear one of these.” along with posting a photo on social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, where he is holding a green guest badge which was connected to a labeled lanyard “OpenAI”!

As per the rumors in the industry and certain reports by the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, the board that fired Altman is worried. They are trying to reconsider the decision and have second thoughts. They wanted to re-engage and discuss with Brockman and Altman to return, but the ball is out of their court now!

Meta Launching Free Subscription For Ad-Free Experience In Europe

Facebook and Instagram will be removing ads from their platforms and are introducing a paid subscription for users to avail of the feature. The service is available all over the European Union. It will be offered for roughly €9.99 per month on the web or €12.99 / month on iOS and Android to account for additional fees. Meta issued in their statement, “To comply with evolving European regulations, we are introducing a new subscription option in the EU, EEA and Switzerland. In November, we will be offering people who use Facebook or Instagram and reside in these regions the choice to continue using these personalized services for free with ads, or subscribe to stop seeing ads. While people are subscribed, their information will not be used for ads.” The subscription has been introduced to address the concerns of the European Union about Meta’s ad targeting and data collection practices. Meta believes the new policy will have a more clear and definitive privacy requirement met. The requirements are set by the European data laws that include the Digital Markets Act and GDPR. Free access that comes with ads is set to remain available. “If you choose to continue to use our products for free, your experience will stay the same – and that experience will continue to be supported by the tools and settings that we have created to empower people to control their ads experience,” Meta explained. Meta has written in their blog post while announcing the subscription, “We respect the spirit and purpose of these evolving European regulations, and are committed to complying with them.” The ad-free subscription will be available only for those 18 and above in the EU, EEA, and Switzerland. It will initially apply across all linked Facebook and Instagram accounts. Eventually, however, Meta will be charging extra for linked accounts. Starting March 1st, 2024, there will be an additional fee of €6 on the web or €8 on iOS and Android per linked account. The company told The Wall Street Journal that it will temporarily stop showing ads to teenagers in the region from November 6.

10 Essential Tips for Preventing Railroad Crossing Accidents

Railroad crossings are designed to prevent accidents. The United States has over 200,000 miles of track, so drivers must know the potential hazards of these crossings. With the right safety precautions, you can avoid accidents on or near railroads. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported 1,500 collisions between vehicles and trains in 2021, which injured and killed hundreds of individuals. Never race across the railroad tracks when there is an oncoming train. People must realize that the cost of speeding to beat a train can be extremely high.  In this article, you will learn about tips on how to avoid railroad crossing accidents. Moreover, this article will describe how to implement those tips properly to ensure safety. Furthermore, you will learn about how to stay aware of railroads. Hence, to learn more, read on to the end of the article. Tips to Avoid Railroad Crossing Accidents Keep the following tips in mind when approaching a railway crossing: 1. Obey Warning Signs All railroad crossings have warning signs and signals. This helps to let drivers and pedestrians know they are approaching an area where trains may be present. Generally, you will find flashing red lights and gates in those areas.  For instance, when the gate is coming down or is already down, you must stay away from the crossing. Basically, you need to ensure that you are at a safe distance. Also, don't try to drive around or through the gate.  In short, obey all warning signals because they indicate a train is coming.  2. Look Both Ways Before crossing a street, everyone looks both ways to check whether a vehicle is coming or not. In fact, you must do the same when you drive through railroad crossings.  Generally, trains go both ways on tracks. So, you must check both sides before continuing over the tracks. Moreover, you must take extra care when the visibility is low, such as at night or when the weather is bad. This way, you can prevent accidents.  3. Never Stop a Car on the Tracks or Try to Move It Away When you are passing through railroad tracks, you must never stop on them. However, if your car accidentally stalls, get out of it as quickly as possible and move away from the vehicle. Also, you must avoid pushing the car to try to move it.  Generally, a train cannot stop quickly since it is really heavy. Also, the engineer controlling the train will not know that a vehicle is in its path until it is too late to take action.  4. Avoid Walking on Railroad Tracks It is illegal for pedestrians to walk on railroad tracks. Moreover, it is extremely dangerous to do so. Hence, you must always walk through pedestrian crossing areas and obey warning signals.  Additionally, railroad tracks are often slippery, and the surface isn't even, increasing the likelihood of pedestrians falling. They may not be able to get out of the path of a train quickly if they fall.  5. Remain Behind Crossing Gates Driving around a crossing gate may be tempting, especially when a train is not visible. Avoid doing so, as the crossing gate is a safety measure designed to keep people from harm.  However, if you really need to cross, wait for the gate to rise and then proceed across the tracks. This way, you can ensure safety. 6. Stay a Safe Distance From the Tracks Always stay a safe distance from the tracks. For instance, many cars can be between the engine and the caboose. Hence, you must never drive or walk close to the tracks.  7. Don't Assume a Train Will Stop Trains aren't required to stop at railroad crossings, so drivers cannot assume they will. Obey the warning signals and wait patiently until the train stops. Basically, trains are heavy and fast. Hence, they need a lot of track to stop.  Therefore, you must provide trains with the right of way to avoid a big accident.  8. Pay Attention to Your Surroundings Also, be aware of your surroundings when you approach a railroad crossing. Moreover, you must look for anything unusual or suspicious. Also, point out to authorities if you see something out of place.  For instance, if you find out something that doesn't belong on the tracks, you must report it to the appropriate authorities.  9. Maintain Vehicles You must maintain your vehicles to reduce the risk of your car stalling on the tracks. However, if the car still stalls, exit the vehicle immediately. Then, move to a safe distance from the tracks to avoid being hit by debris if a train collides with it.  10. Train Children to Be Aware of Railroad Crossings Teach children railroad safety from a young age. Tell them about the dangers of playing on or around railroad tracks. Have them learn the warning signals and what they mean to keep them safe. Hence, you can ensure their safety when they somehow come near a railroad crossing. How to Ensure Safety near a Railroad Crossing? The following are the steps you must follow if you want to ensure safety at a railroad crossing: Always expect trains to come on the railroad. Hence, when you cross the railroad, do it quickly or avoid it. This is because trains are fast and heavy. So you will not get enough time to react. If the light at the crossing is red and the gates are lowered, avoid crossing the railroad. Also, check for the flagman to look for signals. Look at both sides when you are crossing a railroad. Never assume that trains are coming from only one direction. After a train passes, wait for the signal to go green and the gates to go up fully. Then, you can cross the railroad. Railroad Crossing Safety: The Way Forward Every person must know the basics of railroad crossing safety, and accidents and fatalities can easily be avoided with this knowledge. Learn more today to protect yourself and your loved ones from accidents and injuries, as health is one of the most important things a person can have.

Taylor Swift Sends Flowers to Kelly Clarkson After Re-Recording

Kelly Clarkson has recently told the media about the sweet gesture Taylor Swift shows each time she re-records her albums. The host of Kelly Clarkson Show revealed to E! News, “You know what's so funny? She just sent me flowers. She's so nice. She did. She was like, 'Every time I release something'—'cause she just did 1989. I got that really cute cardigan, too." As we know, Kelly had suggested in a tweet back in 2019 that Taylor should re-record her music after Scooter Braun's company Ithaca Holdings LLC acquired her former label Big Machine Label Group, and got hold of the rights to the masters for her first six studio albums. And that's precisely what Taylor did - she re-recorded her music. The Breakaway singer insists however that Taylor would have re-recorded even if Kelly had not made the suggestion. https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1722801460901986399?s=20 Kelly went on, "I love how kind she is though. She's a very smart businesswoman. So, she would have thought of that. But it just sucks when you see artists that you admire and you respect really wanting something and it's special to them. You know if they're going to find a loophole, you find a loophole. And she did it and literally is, like, the best-selling artist I feel like of all-time now." The American Idol ex has praised the efforts of Swift fans for supporting Taylor all along. Kelly concluded, "It's so cool to see a fanbase really get behind her in that too because it's important. She's known for being such an incredible songwriter and the soundtrack to a lot of people's lives and that's her life. So, you should have the option of owning that." Kelly is now the daytime talk show host of her show and is also the owner of SiriusXM channel Kelly Clarkson Connection. She told E! at SiriusXM’s Major Next Generation event, "We called it Kelly Clarkson Connection because there is literally no connection with all the music I'm playing except that I like it. I've always wanted since I was a kid—I didn't understand why Whitney Houston and Nirvana couldn't be played on the same channel. Like, I like both, so why can't we do that?"
