Thanksgiving Turkeys Aren’t the Only Ones in Hot Water – A Look at OpenAI
What’s been cooking in the tech world?
If you thought the days leading up to Thanksgiving would be as quiet as the calm before a turkey storm, think again! While you were busy prepping your yams and dressing, the tech world was buzzing, precariously teetering on the edge of a cyber cliffhanger thanks to the latest melodrama from OpenAI. OpenAI, ironically enough, might just need a ‘save’ point right now.
Drama, suspense, and a tech world twist …
OpenAI, the AI startup, has somehow managed to overshadow the hype of Black Friday sales and Thanksgiving itself by hogging all the headlines. TechCrunch’s ‘Week in Review’, traditionally a simple recap of the week’s events, could be renamed ‘OpenAI Chronicles’ for all the limelight this tech prodigy is stealing. The plot’s so riveting, one might think the adoption of the AI has sparked a walkout of human employees – now, wouldn’t that be a twist?
Hot take:
You know, in an alternate universe, AI startups like OpenAI, instead of stirring up drama, would be hiring robot chefs to help us with our Thanksgiving prep. Imagine telling your AI assistant: “Hey Robo-Bob, please marinate the turkey, wash the cranberries, and don’t forget to pop in the cornbread.” But no… instead, we’re navigating tech controversies while our gravy is simmering away on the stove. Now if that isn’t a ‘Stuffing Up’ of priorities, don’t know what is!
