OpenAI or Members Only?
If you read news from the tech world, you couldn’t have missed the kerfuffle involving OpenAI this past week.
Below are takes on the situation from a couple of columnists. They start out from different angles but converge on similar conclusions:
Parmy Olson: “I say all this knowing full well that OpenAI will find a way to neuter its nonprofit board so that the events of last week don’t ever happen again. It will probably look a lot more like other tech boards that lack teeth […].”
Matt Levine: “Is control of OpenAI indicated by the word “controls,” or by the word “MONEY”? […] the money kind of won.”
See also this piece by Levine where he concludes: “Coming from the world of finance, all of this feels odd to me […]. Everyone just trusted each other? Seems like a mistake.”

Looking To Give Back?
How about visiting some classrooms around the globe to share your technical and professional knowledge?
Share your story and technical expertise with pre-university students. Your visit could be a career QA session, a presentation on a particular technical topic, technical mentoring to support a hands-on activity challenge, judge a competition, etc. Join the programs and Share. Give Back. Inspire.
