Because yeah, we're going to be recapping the AI news that matters and a lot more. So let's jump right into it and go over the AI news that matters for the week of May 20th. All right, let's start at the top. Pretty, pretty big deal here, y'. All. So Reddit and OpenAI have struck a deal on data for model training. So Reddit has struck a partnership with OpenAI to incorporate Reddit posts into ChatGPT and other AI tools, granting OpenAI real time access to Reddit content. So this follows Reddit's decision to charge for access to its data API spread, sparking some controversy and pushback from users and third party apps. The partnership raises concerns about the use of user generated content for AI training and a potential impact on content quality. So you know this, you know, there's obviously a lot of concerns that have been raised about the use of user generated content for AI training and the potential impact on content quality on Reddit. And a lot of publishers, you know, such as the Associated Press and Financial Times, have also struck some pretty lucrative deals with OpenAI to allow OpenAI to use its content for training and to allow its content to be used in ChatGPT. So Reddit also reached a similar partnership with Google in February, which allowed Google to train its AI models on Reddit data. And that deal between Google and Reddit was reportedly worth $60 million per year. There's no report right now how much this new OpenAI and Reddit partnership is worth yet. But it is important to note the timing of all of this. So Reddit just went public about two months ago, right around the same time as that Google partnership was announced. And after this new partnership with OpenAI was revealed, their stock shot up 10% instantly on this OpenAI news. So, so this is actually a very deep topic, one that I could probably talk about for hours, right? So I'm a former journalist and there's been a lot of high profile journalism outlets and news corporations suing OpenAI and other large language model makers for using its data to train its models, right? So without going onto a short tangent, here's essentially how large language models work, right? And I'm oversimplifying, but they are essentially built on the open Internet and the closed Internet, right? So yeah, large language models have a lot of copyrighted information that ends up in its models, right? And if there's one thing that, you know, for all the great things, and you know, the bright futures that these, you know, large companies are helping us paint, you know, they don't really share a lot of information on how their models are trained, right? And again, I'm oversimplifying here, but essentially they have web scrapers and they ingest the entire open Internet that they can get to, as well as there's these very large data sets, such as Google's C4 data set, right? And that essentially scrapes the 15 million most popular websites on the Internet. But a lot of those websites are websites that probably aren't the best, right? So such as there's websites out there that kind of collect all of this copyrighted material that essentially kind of like piracy websites, right? So you have to think at what is at the base of these models, right? And I've been saying this now for a year, and I've really leaned into this heavily over the last six months here on the Everyday AI show that, you know, 2024 is going to be the year of a lot of lawsuits, right? So, you know, a lot of people say that these companies, you know, such as OpenAI or anthropic and even to a certain extent Google and Microsoft are, you know, kind of really, you know, just exploding in terms of, you know, OpenAI and Anthropic, you know, going from, you know, small quote unquote startups to now companies that are bringing in, you know, reportedly hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. And then you have companies like Microsoft and Google, right, that are seeing all time high valuations. Meta as well. And a lot of this, a lot of people are saying it's because of these large language models and this generative AI movement, but it goes back to the data, right? Where's the data coming from? Who owns the data, right? And we're going to be seeing a lot of lawsuits. And I've said for a long time, the New York Times vs OpenAI and Microsoft lawsuit is going to be one of the first big dominoes to fall. However, in the interim, what we've seen is partnerships like this, like with Reddit and the Associated Press and the Financial Times, you know, a lot of times we're seeing partnerships that are worth tens of millions of dollars each and every year or more, right? When we saw that $60 million Reddit Google partnership, I said Google just got the steal of the year in terms of data, right? And if you aren't super familiar with Reddit, I mean, it is a gold mine in terms of data, right? It is essentially the public Internet, you know, playing out in real time. But, you know, a lot of people, especially over the years, have started to just search on Reddit versus searching on Google because it's real humans helping real humans and answering, you know, you know, it's, it's real smart humans answering other smart humans questions, right? And providing context and relevant data. So, you know, that data right there, you know, even just within Reddit is just largely, largely valuable, right? So this is going to be interesting as we see more and more of these partnerships announced, because there's really, if I'm being honest, there's really only two ways you can go. Either you're going to be, you know, partnering with in OpenAI or Microsoft or a Google on a, you know, probably 10, 50, 60, $100 million a year partnership, or, you know, maybe if you're a smaller outfit, you're going to be suing or if you're The New York Times, you're going to be suing. So there's really only two ways that this is going to go. And I think people don't really talk about this a lot, right? We all just kind of blindly benefit from these large language models, myself included, right? And we love them and, you know, all of the capabilities that they, they can give to ourselves and to our business, but we don't get back to, okay, were they legally trained, were they ethically trained? Right? And a lot of companies don't share, you know, they just say, hey, we, you know, crawl the open Internet and we have humans, you know, who you know, kind of comb through all this data and they train the models. But you know, ultimately there is a lot of copyrighted material in all of these large language models. So pretty, pretty big news here from OpenAI, presumably the most important player in the generative AI or large language model space, and Reddit, which is probably the holder of the most unique data on the Internet. Right? But this also goes to beg a bigger and different question, right? Let's say you are an avid Reddit user and maybe you've put a lot of personal data out there, you've done so anonymously, right? You're not putting your full name on your Reddit profile, but you're probably maybe sharing a lot of either your own personal data or maybe your own personal knowledge and expertise. And now it's like, okay, that's kind of for sale, quote unquote, or it's already been sold, right? So this, this does beg a bigger and bolder question that, you know, we'll definitely be tackling in the coming weeks and months here on Everyday AI. Yeah, and I'd love to hear from our audience. What do you think of this, this open AI and Reddit partnership? And just in general, right. I'm curious, do you feel like. I do. And maybe, you know, I'm a little bit on the extreme side, but I don't see any other way. Right. I either see large lawsuits, right, because let's say you're a medium sized publisher, right? You might not be one of these first, you know, outfits to get a 10 or a $60 million partnership. So I mean, what's your other alternative? If you feel pretty confident that these large language model makers have used your copyrighted content right now. Yeah, you can put kind of blockers up there that block your website in the ongoing content that you're creating. You can block it from these different large language models and you can block kind of those that go on your website and scrape. But at the same time, even in the case of Google, right, you want your, your content to show up on Google. That's presumably how you make money. Right? But then is it going to end up in Google, Gemini and all these other, you know, you could say the same thing with, you know, you want to show up on Bing, you know, Microsoft Search, but then, okay, is it going to show up in Copilot? So, you know, we are in this tricky, right, this, this tricky day and age of like, okay, putting out good content that helps people, that's valuable, that serves your customers and your readers. But, you know, at what point is it your data in your data alone or your content and your content alone versus, you know, now it's going out to all these large language models and especially as we talk about a lot here on the show, as the lines between, you know, traditional Internet search and content consumption and AI, as those lines blur, you know, there's, I think there's a lot of big issues to tackle there. Yeah, love what Woozy said here. He said helping, you know, in quotes and smart humans might be a stretch on some of those Reddit threads. Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, I mean, obviously there's a lot of, you know, nonsense there on the Internet and Reddit included. But yeah, there's, there's obviously a lot of very great, helpful information out there on these publications as well. All right, our next piece of AI news. Yeah, Google's I O conference, kind of, kind of a big deal. So let's talk about what they announced on Tuesday. And because it was literally like AI everywhere. But before we, or sorry, before we even go through kind of the bullet points of what was announced and why it matters, I mean, we have to talk about the timing. Are you still running in circles trying to figure out how to actually grow your business with AI? Maybe your company has been tinkering with large language models for a year or more, but can't really get traction to find ROI on Genai. Hey, this is Jordan Wilson, host of this very podcast. Companies like Adobe, Microsoft and Nvidia have partnered with us because they trust our expertise in educating the masses around generative AI to get ahead. And some of the most innovative companies in the country hire us to help with their AI strategy and to train hundreds of their employees on how to use Gen AI. So whether you're looking for ChatGPT training for thousands or just need help building your front end AI strategy, you can partner with us too. Just like some of the biggest companies in the World. Do go to your everyday AI.com partner to get in contact with our team or you can just click on the partner section of our website. We'll help you stop running in those AI circles and help get your team ahead and build a straight path to ROI on gen. So Google's IO developer conference was May 13, right? So six days ago, but Google announced that date two months prior, right? It wasn't a last second thing. They'd been planning this event for two months. They had that date out there for two months. And then about two day prior, two days prior to that announcement, OpenAI announced a surprise event, right? Which happened the day before. It happened last Monday, you know, about an hour after we wrapped up our livestream. And they called their OpenAI called their event just Spring event. Okay, so in that event, OpenAI announced not only its new GPT4O model, which was available immediately to paid users, but also a new feature that kind of competed directly with Google's big feature that they were coming out with. So OpenAI didn't really name their feature, but essentially it's this, this ability or capability to kind of see for the, for the AI, the model. So GPT4O in the iOS app to kind of see things live, right? And we've talked about those demos and we showed those demos here on the show before. But you know, essentially you could hold your phone up and work on a math problem live and ask ChatGPT like, hey, what do you see what's going on here? Help me with this, right? So it can see, it can interact, it can talk to you with very low latency, right? Human times. So it's interesting because that was kind of Google's big, big piece here. So we're showing here on the screen about Project Astra, so about how a lot of people are saying that this is the future of AI. So it's kind of, you know, the timing, when we talk about the news that matters, I mean, OpenAI just swooped in, you know, kind of had this surprise announcement 20, literally 24 hours on the clock before Google announced theirs. So Project Astra, was this from Google? It's their kind of new multimodal AI assistant that, similar to the one that OpenAI demoed 24 hours before, that you can kind of interact with in real time. It can see the world, multimodality, answer questions, help with tasks, etc. So kind of in Google's demo, Google's demo, which we hope was live, right? Unlike their Gemini snafu that they, in December, they infamously shared a heavily edited video showcasing Gemini's capabilities, which it did not have those capabilities. So unlike this one, this demo for Project Astra was presumably live, right? And they said it was an unedited 1x speed demo, but it kind of showed someone walking around an office with kind of Project Astra on a Google smartphone and, you know, asking questions about things in real time that were coming up on the camera. So you can think of it like this. Think of if you're, you know, FaceTiming, right? If you ever have to face someone FaceTime, someone who's maybe, you know, you need help with your computer or, you know, you're. You're showing someone on your house and something's broken and you're saying, how do I fix this? Right? Maybe you have an uncle who's a Handyman and you're FaceTiming them and there's a leaky pipe and you're saying, how do I fix this? Right? So that's kind of what these new kind of smart assistants are, right? It's in live. You can show them something and talk to them and converse, right? In real time. So that's kind of the big piece of, you know, Google's announcement at IO last week. But before we get even too much more into that, I do want to kind of detail kind of some of the big pieces here because there was a lot. Google, right, announced a slew, like they are literally sprinkling, like sprinkling AI everywhere, right? Like the salt bay, just sprinkling salt on a. On a steak. I mean, they're AI this, AI that. So let's, let's talk about a little bit about what I think are some of the bigger and will ultimately be the more impactful AI announcements that came out of Google's IO conference on Tuesday. So they did announce some enhancements to their Gemini models, including Gemini 1.5 Pro with a longer context window between 1 million tokens and 2 million tokens. They now also have and Ask Photos powered by Gemini, which was revealed for Google Photos providing enhanced photo memory summaries. That one looked really cool, right? So essentially, if you use Google Photos, I do. You can essentially just ask the same thing, right? So they gave the example, I think it was someone's, you know, daughter in her progress of swimming. And you can say, hey, how, you know, show me everything, you know, my. Of my daughter's swimming progress, right? And then this kind of Ask Photos kind of goes throughout the years of all the photos. It uses kind of AI and computer vision to Say, okay, here's. This is your daughter. Maybe even if you have multiple daughters, you can ask about one. It uses kind of this facial recognition technology, kind of creepy, kind of cool. And it says, all right, here's everything that your daughter. Here's kind of a photo montage and kind of progress on how she's been swimming, right? So a lot of really cool use cases. If you're okay handing off all of your data and all of your photos, you know, to Google. I don't personally care, I do this. But ask Photos does look like a pretty unique feature. And I'm wondering if, you know, as we gear up for Apple's announcements at wwdc, I'm wondering if they'll have something like that as well. I don't think they will. So I think that's a pretty unique and a really strong feature that Google announced. Also, Google announced the rollout of their new Gemini Nano model with multimodality on their Pixel phones. Android 15, their new operating system was presented with AI powered search Gemini as the new AI assistant, obviously and on device edge AI for new experiences. Pretty huge piece there, right? Bringing kind of the power of large language models locally on devices pretty big. Also another, you know, maybe this is a straight competition piece with OpenAI, but Google showcased Gems, which are essentially custom customized versions of Gemini AI for specific tasks. So just how, you know, you have your GPTs with OpenAI, you can create a customized version of a model. You know, you can put in your own, your own data, your own files, your own, you know, kind of configuration instructions, you know, tap into API, third party APIs and bring in, you know, your own kind of specific capabilities. That's kind of what Google is going for here with Gems, which are just literally, you know, smaller customized versions of its Gemini model. So pretty much a one to one, I don't know if we would say clone, but more or less cloning the capabilities that you have with GPTs in OpenAI and then the fact that this is like seventh on my list here is pretty remarkable. But Google also demonstrated their new Google AI teammate, which is a virtual teammate for work tasks. So you literally can give a virtual teammate kind of a space inside of your Google workspace. It just performs actions on your behalf. You give it access to the data that it needs to. But literally thinking it as like, okay, this person has a seat on my team. So kind of thinking with Google's new AI teammate as a literal virtual teammate, not just this big, you know, idea of oh, you can do, you know, you can do all these things with AI, but no, like my AI has a seat on my team. It has access to all of these files. So pretty, pretty cool announcements there from Google and I'm curious, you know, for our livestream audience. And hey, if you're listening on the podcast as well, what's your reaction between what Google announced on Tuesday versus what OpenAI announced the day prior? Right. Clearly we're getting now actually back to back announcements from three of the biggest players in AI. But I'm curious what you thought. My thought is the Google announcement, they obviously, I mean, they're a much larger company, right? OpenAI technically startup, one of the most powerful startups ever, but still technically a startup it up. And Google is, you know, legacy tech company, one of the largest companies ever. Right. So, you know, we're kind of comparing apples and, you know, banana pudding here. But still the Google announcement, and I watched them both, the Google announcement seemed just too, too scripted for me. It seemed too polished. Right. And I think, especially as we talk about generative AI, I think people like authenticity. I think they like, you know, that's kind of why I go live here every day. I don't edit things, you know, I sometimes, you know, mess up or stutter or say something, you know, I didn't mean to say. It's like I keep it in there, right? Because I think if we're talking about artificial intelligence, you know, it should be real, it should be live, right? It should be, you know, raw. And I think that's what we saw from OpenAI. Whereas, you know, Google's announcement seemed robotic, right? It seemed very robotic. It seemed overly scripted. That's just me, obviously, from a product standpoint, super impressed with what Google rolled out. Out. I haven't personally been impressed with Google Gemini as a model. Right. But as you start to see all of these other features and capabilities that Google rolls out tied to its model, right. I mean, you have to start paying attention. So, you know, I'm curious if you're paying attention to Google maybe a little bit more now than you were last week before this big announcement. Yeah. Hey, Brian. Brian, here's, you know, kind of on top of the breaking news. This didn't make it into our AI news that matters. But he's asking, you know, about if Anyone saw that OpenAI is pausing the use of sky voice. So yeah, we'll be talking about that in our newsletter. But they did say, yeah, that was a little too close, they said to Scarlett Johansson. So they paused the use of that one. All right. Speaking of these big companies, right, so we talked now about, you know, kind of OpenAI's announcements with their GPT4O that came out right before Google's and then Google, all of Google's IO announcements and some of them competing directly with OpenAI. And then here we go, you know, Microsoft sitting over here in the corner being like, hey guys, you can't forget about us, you know, when it comes to legacy technology, like Microsoft is there. All right, so Microsoft is, it's Microsoft Build Developer Conference is set to kick off now, kind of unofficially here in a couple of hours. So the official Build conference though from Microsoft kicks off tomorrow. So that's Tuesday, May 21st. However, in a couple of hours here. Microsoft is slated to announce a few new products today ahead of its KeyNote tomorrow with CEO Sadia Nadella. So Microsoft is holding an AI event today to showcase their AI vision and upcoming Surface hardware and Windows software changes all based around AI. So the event today will kind of set the stage for what Microsoft is calling the year of the AI PC and will also include updates on Microsoft AI initiatives such as Copilot, right? Powered by GPT and Microsoft's reported 10 to 13 billion dollar investment in OpenAI for reportedly 49 equity. So let's talk a little bit more about Microsoft Build in what we might be expecting this week, right? Huge week in tech. My gosh, y' all like having from the three biggest companies having their yearly announcements more or less pretty, pretty big news here. So Microsoft obviously will be discussing their AI vision and upcoming changes. So starting today, the event. So Microsoft, the Build conference will also be taking place right after the event, like I said, where further updates on AI and Copilot will be shared. The conference is also obviously going to be heavily discussing AI PCs, right, kind of this new term. But you know, Microsoft is saying, hey, we are AI. We are an AI PC company, right? Baking in AI into the hardware and they'll have a neural processing Unit to handle AI tasks and are expected. So the new AI PCs are expected to arrive with Intel, Qualcomm and AMD chips also. So many sessions, right? So the conference is going to feature, you know, keynote speeches, product announcements and over 480 sessions with 251 offered online and 175 recorded for later viewing. So yeah, if you want to check out that free conference, yeah, you can view it for free, you can obviously attend it. The event is in Seattle and the event does run for three days technically starting on Tuesday. But if you do want access, if you want to Check out some of those sessions that are live and free and available to anyone. Make sure you check out the newsletter and we'll be dropping a link there to that registration page. A lot, a lot going on, y'. All. I gotta, I gotta take, take a sip of water. So, so much big news, you know, in the past seven days from OpenAI, from Microsoft, from Google. So let's talk a little bit. Speaking of big companies, there's one that we haven't technically really talked about yet, and that's Apple. So OpenAI and Apple reportedly have a date. So we did talk about this last week on our AI news that matters that, hey, Apple, it looks like, is choosing Open AI over Google to break generative AI capabilities to its next iPhone and iOS updates. So according to Bloomberg reports, Apple and OpenAI are preparing for a major partnership announcement at Apple's WWDC. So OpenAI is working to ensure that their platform can handle this influx of new users. Yeah, we'll see about that. From iPhone and iOS 18 is expected to feature AI driven messages and Safari summarization capabilities. Hey, I can't wait for that. I'm, I'm, I'm so bad at this, y'. All. I don't know if it's just me at the end of the day, like I kind of look at my text messages and I have, you know, sometimes 50 unread, sometimes 250. Right. Met a lot of group chats. But you know, I actually can't wait for the AI summarization where I can just ask, you know, Siri, and hopefully Siri will be a little smarter if it is maybe powered by OpenAI to say, hey, catch me up on all of these text messages. Right? Or if that comes to email on the iOS device, but then also for Safari as well. Right. That'll be a huge time saver, obviously, something that we've had capabilities to do on the desktop for multiple years and if you have Google or Android phones, you've had capabilities to that as well. So personally, I have an iPhone, so I'm looking forward to kind of some of these generative AI features coming reportedly to the iOS 18 and Apple's next this iPhone as well. But we do now know that there is an announcement planned for June 10th to kind of talk more about this open AI and Apple kind of partnership. So again, like we, we talked about this last week, we said, hey, it does look like, at least according to Bloomberg reports, that Apple has decided on OpenAI. Right? There was literally reports going on back and forth so much Flip flopping over the last three months on, you know, oh, Apple is going to develop their own model and you know, we saw them release a couple research papers and then they said no, they're going to open AI. And then there's a new report that said no, they're definitely going Google. But you know, we really, at least in the last week we haven't seen any conflicting or contradictory reports. But it does look like not only are is is OpenAI and, and Apple going to be partnering here in the future, but we will see an official announcement from the groups on, on June 10, you know, kind of right there at the front end of Apple's worldwide developer conference there in June. So pretty, pretty big, pretty big news. All right. Speaking of pretty big news, our last piece of AI news that matters. Well, there's some more drama at Open AI. You know, you can't get through more than a week without some drama, but this time it comes to their former head of alignment. So we did, yes, talk about this on the show last week as former OpenAI head of alignment and Super Alignments teams. Jan Leakey resigned last week from OpenAI. So we did talk about that, but he kind of put out some more information, I guess, or kind of a statement, so to speak, on Twitter. So we're going to be breaking that down here. But you know, if you don't know what Super Alignment is. But in short, you know, Jan Leakey led the team that ensured future AI and artificial general intelligence. So AGI models were safe for society. So a pretty, pretty important role there at OpenAI or any company. So if the head of the kind of department that ensures that, you know, these models are safe for the public kind of resigns, suddenly it's pretty big news. Right? There's obviously a lot of speculation, not really going to talk about that a lot. But you can imagine, right, if, if the head of, you know, making sure that AI models are safe at one of the biggest players in AI in the world suddenly resigns. Yeah, you might have to raise an eyebrow and be like, oh, what's going on there? You know, are there, are there bad things happening? You know, are, you know, new future models safe? Right. This did kind of kind of align with GPT4O. I don't think that it's, it's related to GPT4O, the new model from OpenAI, but you do have to assume that there is going to be a, another much more capable model coming very shortly from OpenAI. Was kind of Jan's kind of announcement related to that, I'm not sure, but let's just kind of read over some of the things that he said in his announcement. So kind of quoting him here. So he said, over the past few months my team has been sailing against the wind. Sometimes we were struggling for compute and it was getting harder and harder to get this critical research done. Jan also said building smarter than human machines is inherently dangerous endeavor. OpenAI is shouldering an enormous responsibility on behalf of all humanity. And then he said, but over the past few years, safety and culture and processes have taken a back seat to shiny products. So just huge, I mean, just some huge one, two punch there. So essentially saying, hey, we weren't able to get, get kind of the compute power that we needed to make sure all of these models were safe. But then also coming out and just saying plain as day, hey, it was all these, you know, kind of. He said that the company is more concerned about all these shiny features and they're not cared about the model's safety. So pretty eye opening, you know, whether, whether you follow, you know, AI safety and you know, ethical AI or not got pretty, pretty big, pretty noteworthy here. And OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman kind of said in response, said, you know, kind of said he's super appreciated of Jan's contributions. But then he said he's right, we have a lot more to do. We are committed to doing it. I'll have a longer post in the next couple of days. So yeah, pretty eye opening, right when the, the former head of alignment at, you know, and you can't just look at, you know, oh, you know, whether your company's using chat GPT or OpenAI or not. The reason why this is super important is because there are thousands. I don't know if OpenAI gives a number, but I would venture to guess that there's tens of thousands of companies that use OpenAI's technology in their products. Right? So there's a good chance, you know, let's just say you have a, A, a handful of, you know, vendors that you work with at your company and you know, different capabilities. Maybe it's a CRM, maybe it's erm, you know, I don't know, but just think there's probably so many of them that use kind of an API connection to OpenAI. So you're probably using a lot more of this GPT technology from OpenAI than you may realize. So it's, it's not like, oh, okay, well if models aren't safe, then, you know, I just won't log on to ChatGPT or, you know, my company will, you know, switch over. You know, it's not like that. Right. Presumably there are tens of thousands of other, you know, enterprise pieces of software, products, services, et cetera that tap into OpenAI. So, you know, pretty, pretty concerning here when you have a pretty sudden resignation. But not only a sudden resignation, but you know, generally when, when OpenAI employees leave and we mentioned this in the newsletter last week, there's some pretty strict rules around that. And you know, there's know. And Sam Altman came out on Twitter as well and said like, oh, you know, this is my mistake and it's embarrassing that we had all of these kind of stipulations, you know, that OpenAI, you know, former OpenAI employees couldn't, you know, say certain things after they left. So, you know, generally if, if a high ranking person from OpenAI leaves, you don't really hear anything. It is radio silence. So it's actually pretty telling here. And I, I would assume pretty, you know, pretty brave and bold move here as well from Jan Leakey coming out saying like, hey, you know, it's, this is an inherently dangerous. Right. He literally said building smarter than human machines is an inherently dangerous endeavor. So you know, essentially saying this is, this is dangerous. Like this is dangerous work that we're working on. We don't have the compute power to make this all happen. But then also saying like, hey, our work and this important work that we're doing was taking a back seat to safety as well. So we're going to have a lot more from that breakdown in the newsletter. Yeah, agree with Michael here joining us from YouTube saying, yeah, so much going on today. So yeah. Hey, as, as a quick recap, here is the AI news that matters for this week. So yeah, we talked about Reddit and OpenAI have struck a deal on data for model training. No specifics yet on the amount, but presumably tens of millions or $100 million. Google's IO conference was last week and they just announced AI literally everywhere. Probably the biggest piece was their project Astra. Then Microsoft kicks off, unofficially kicks off their Build Microsoft Build developer conference today, but that runs the official conference runs from starting Tuesday for three days in Seattle. And we're expecting to see kind of what's next with AI at Microsoft. Then OpenAI and Apple now reportedly have a date on the calendar to announce officially on June 10th their partnership. And then last but not, not least, some little bit of drama at OpenAI as its former head of alignment speaks out about some of his safety concerns. All right, that's not it. That's just the recap.
