OpenAI’s “breakthrough”


Listen Later

After being banned from talking about artificial intelligence at Thanksgiving, guest host Matt Levin is eager to chime in on the ongoing Sam Altman controversy and news about a powerful artificial intelligence development at OpenAI. Plus, tech tycoons are behaving more and more like foreign dignitaries. And: Doritos’ new crunch-cancellation technology.

Here’s everything we talked about:

      • “Unpacking the hype around OpenAI’s rumored new Q* model” from MIT Technology Review
          • “OpenAI researchers warned board of AI breakthrough ahead of CEO ouster, sources say” from Reuters
              • “Elon Musk Meets With Netanyahu in Israel Amid Backlash Against Social Media Post” from The New York Times
                  • “What’s Merriam-Webster’s word of the year for 2023? Hint: Be true to yourself” from AP News
                      • “The sound of crunching chips is annoying. Doritos has made a silencer.” from The Washington Post
                      • Help us get a head start on our Giving Tuesday challenge to unlock $100K for Marketplace.
