Sam Altman and Elon Musk have a tumultuous relationship. BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images/Shelby Tauber/REUTERS Elon Musk and Sam Altman cofounded OpenAI years ago, but they're often at odds today. Musk left OpenAI in 2018 and now heads rival xAI. Here's a history of Musk and Altman's working relationship and feuds. Elon Musk and Sam Altman lead rival AI firms and regularly take public jabs at each other — but it wasn't always like this. Years ago, the two cofounded OpenAI , which Altman now leads. Musk departed OpenAI, which created ChatGPT, in 2018, and has since launched his own AI venture, xAI. Their latest point of contention seems to change by the week, with Altman explaining how his view of Musk has changed over the years. "For a long time, I looked up to him as an incredible hero, a great jewel for humanity. I have different feelings now," Altman said of Musk in a September 10 interview with former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson. ...

Relocating for a new job was never a big deal. Having kids changed things; we're not moving now, even for a big opportunity.

The author and her husband decided to put down roots once they had children. Courtesy of Candy Mickels Mejia Relocating for work was exciting when my husband and I were newly married. Having children shifted our priorities, leading us to choose stability over new opportunities. We decided that giving our children roots was more important than living in new cities or countries. By our fifth wedding anniversary, my husband and I had moved twice for his job . We were in our 20s and excited for new experiences. It was easy to embrace the chaos of moving then. When a third opportunity to relocate was presented, the choice wasn't so easy anymore. Our family had grown; we now had a baby to consider. This move would take us from Houston to California, a place we'd barely visited. The whole idea felt exciting, but what would it be like to move halfway across the country with a baby in tow? Having a baby made us think differently about moving We asked ourselves what advice w...

Netflix is showing Hollywood what happens when a startup grows up 

A baby was born in a Waymo this week, and it wasn’t even the first one.  What started as a novelty story quickly became a reminder of how autonomous vehicles have quietly become part of everyday life, complete with all the messiness that entails. The real coming-of-age story this week, however, wasn’t happening in San Francisco’s robotaxis. It was playing out in […] from TechCrunch https://ift.tt/5n6jocw via IFTTT

A 79-year-old woman shares her 3-step longevity routine — including 11 workouts a week

Image
79-year-old grandmother Anne Thibodeaux works out 11 times a week and loves gardening, going to museums, and social groups like her book club. Courtesy of Anne Thibodeaux Anne Thibodeaux's daily routine is a model of science-backed habits for longevity. She exercises twice a day, and mixes up her routine with yoga and stability workouts. For a healthy heart and brain, she takes walks and has a busy social life with friends and family. When I first met 79-year-old Anne Thibodeaux, she was fresh out of two back-to-back workout classes and excited to show me what she was reading for book club. The book was "Outlive," a longevity handbook from Dr. Peter Attia, an anti-aging specialist beloved by tech CEOs and Hollywood actors, and now, apparently, this grandmother from New Orleans. The funny thing, Thibodeaux told me via Zoom last month, is that Attia's advice for a long life matches what she's been doing for decades already. We all might want to take a ...

Elon Musk says Trump is 'naturally funny' — and his meeting with Zohran Mamdani showed it

Image
"He's got a great sense of humor," Musk said of Trump. "He's very funny, he's like naturally funny. It's somewhat effortless."

Musk pointed specifically to Trump's meeting with Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office last month. Asked who was the funniest person he knew in real life, Elon Musk had a somewhat surprising answer.

I spent 9 months traveling the world. I had a great time, but I'd never do it again.

Image
I spent nine months traveling the world in 2021. Dasha Kofman I spent nine months traveling the world , and although I had a great time, I wouldn't do it again. Because I was on a tight budget, I often found myself turning down cool experiences to save money. I also struggled to make genuine friendships and missed having a space to call my own. When I was working remotely in 2021, my boyfriend and I packed up and traveled to 22 countries across Europe and Latin America. Although these were some of the best days of my life, I quickly learned that a lot of the videos I saw on social media that glorified full-time travel didn't always showcase the downfalls of the lifestyle. More and more people are becoming digital nomads — countries like Italy have even implemented specific visas for remote workers. However, during my nine months abroad, I learned that the lifestyle isn't all it's cracked up to be. Here's why I wouldn't travel full time again. I k...

I got my kids, all 8 and under, a DVD player. It made family movie night more enjoyable and saved my sanity.

Image
The author's son checks out the DVD section at the local library. Courtesy of Jennifer Beck Goldblatt With so many options available on streaming services, family movie night was getting stressful. Choosing a few DVDs from the library limited my kids' options and streamlined family movie night. This practice has helped introduce my kids to classic family movies and has kept bedtime on track. More often than not, Friday is family movie night in my house. It's a time for the four of us to relax after a busy week, snuggle up, and eat food we all enjoy and actually agree on, like pizza, popcorn, and maybe a pan of brownies. The idea is simple enough, so the execution should have been simple, too. But it rarely was. While I was putting the finishing touches on our homemade pizza, I could usually hear my kids bickering in our family room over movie choices and my husband trying to be a calm-ish referee. Some nights, voices got louder; many nights, tears were shed. Thi...

"When it comes to life and death decision-making, I think that it is too morally fraught an area, it is too critical of an area, to not apply the best technology available to you, regardless of what i...
