OpenAI\u2019s board of directors announced Friday it had fired<\/a> CEO Sam Altman. But he\u2019s doing okay<\/a>. By Monday morning, he had joined Microsoft \u201cto lead a new advanced AI research team,\u201d according to the company.<\/p>\n

Altman cofounded OpenAI with Elon Musk in 2015 as a nonprofit and served as the CEO for the for-profit arm since 2019. He was originally fired from OpenAI over \u201ca breakdown in communication between Sam and the board,\u201d according to an internal staff memo. Several key members also resigned, including co-founder Greg Brockman (who will now also join Microsoft) along with a few senior researchers. \u201cDozens\u201d of OpenAI employees reportedly announced internally they\u2019d be quitting too, with some expressing interest in joining a potential new Altman startup.<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg<\/em>, the board had reportedly considered reversing Altman\u2019s firing, though the ousted exec wanted the existing board to resign and issue a public apology \u2014 and I fully endorse all this drama, if true.<\/p>\n

The company did not apologize, however.<\/p>\n

\n

Following the news that iPhones will support Rich Communication Services next year, what exactly is RCS? Well, positioned as a next-generation replacement for SMS and MMS, it adds modern features you may already use on WhatsApp, including read receipts and the ability to send high-resolution images and more. We wrestle with what this means, and how iMessage fits into it all.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a weird week for messaging and texts. Nothing has pulled the beta of its new messaging app, Nothing Chats. The company touted the Sunbird-based app as the answer to the longstanding Android versus Apple texting woes, supporting RCS and iMessage. However, critics voiced concerns over the security risks workarounds like this bring. Nothing Chats does not have end-to-end encryption, and 9to5Google<\/em> noted attachments sent by other users could easily be accessed in plain text.<\/p>\n

SpaceX’s second test flight of its Starship spacecraft \u2014 which it hopes will eventually ferry humans to the Moon and Mars \u2014 ended in an explosion Saturday morning, minutes after taking off from the company’s spaceport in Boca Chica, Texas. After completing stage separation, when the Super Heavy booster detached itself from Starship, the rocket’s first stage exploded. Starship, however, continued for several more minutes, with a faint explosion heard around the eight-minute mark. Unlike its first test, Starship was able to reach space this time. The company is framing it as a success, even if it did\u2026 explode.<\/p>\n
