And he said, ‘Well, I wasn’t trained as…
Speaking at an event hosted by The Indian Express this week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed concerns about AI’s environmental impact. First, Altman, who was in India for a major AI summit, said concerns about AI’s water usage were “absolutely fake,” but acknowledged that it was a real problem at the time, “when we were doing evaporative cooling in data centers.” “I don’t do that now, but I see things on the Internet saying things like, ‘Don’t use ChatGPT. It takes 17 gallons of water per query,'” Altman said. “This is completely untrue, completely insane and has no connection to…

The sport incorporates a certain kind of shenanigans: running headfirst on a small sled down a winding road at speeds of 90 miles per hour. But Lowe, the first American athlete to medal in skeleton in 12 years at the 2025 IBSF World Championships, admittedly didn’t think it was for her at first. “My coach walked me to the line and let me go, and all of a sudden I was going so fast I couldn’t see anything, I couldn’t process anything,” she told The Athletic in December, recalling her first taste of the sport in 2016 when she was…

The generative AI boom has spawned a flurry of startups. But as the dust begins to settle, two once-popular business models are looking more alarming: LLM wrappers and AI aggregators.

One example is a startup that uses AI to help students learn. “If you’re just letting your backend model…
Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Jerusalem, said he has “no problem” with Israel controlling large swathes of the Middle East. In an interview with conservative American commentator Tucker Carlson, Huckabee was asked about his understanding of a Bible passage that suggests that the Jewish people were promised land, including parts of Egypt, Syria and Iraq, by God. Carlson said that according to the Old Testament, the border would be “basically the entire Middle East.” He continued, “Does Israel have a right to the land?” “I don’t know if I’ll go that far,” Huckabee said. “It’s going to be a…

Spencer will be replaced by Asha Sharma, a former executive at Instacart and Meta.
