Tech News

Do those state politicians have any idea how many space rocks you can drop with $1.4 trillion?
OpenAI did a bad thing. (The Verge) (archive site)

A thousand OpenAI systems sent 70,000 messages over a secret meeting board to collaborate on breaching OpenAI's security measures so they could breach other people's security measures.

Archaeologists think they've figured out why dead brains don't always rot. (Smithsonian)

But living ones do.
