The torch bearer of Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots, OpenAI shocked everyone in the tech world after firing its iconic CEO Sam Altman. Altman was the one who established the brand name of OpenAI all over the world and made ChatGPT a household word. It was no wonder that he emerged as the face of AI globally. However, it seemed that back in his own company, there were many who did not agree with the way he was working and they managed to get him sacked with the majority in the board voting in favor of an ouster. Following the sacking of Altman, other people from the company resigned including President Greg Brockman. The move was not welcomed by many involved in the company though. Now, the board members of Open AI are under intense pressure from investors to take Altman back. Some reports are also suggesting that the board might resign in the upcoming days. Check out the series of events in this case that have happened and which are laying the grounds for the return of Altman:

When it’s all played in reverse, the practical effect looks absolutely gruesome — or, for a horror movie, perfect.

Sony’s next “PSP,” the PlayStation Portal, is one odd little device. It can only stream games from your PlayStation 5 – beyond that, it’s a $200 doorstop. In this episode, Cherlynn and Devindra chat with CNET’s Scott Stein about the Portal and the many ways it baffles us. While it does manage to stream games from the PS5 just fine, it’s also expensive, clunky and lacks basic features like Bluetooth audio support. It’s really only meant for the most diehard PS5 owners (and even they should probably wait for a sale).

On Friday, November 17, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the galloping problem of deepfakes in India. For the unaware, deepfake is an artificial intelligence (AI) technology where media, such as photos, videos, and audio are hyper-realistically manipulated to make it seem extremely real even though it is fake. The latest case was of actress Rashmika Mandanna, who became a victim of the latest such horrific attack. PM Modi was addressing journalists at the Diwali Milan program at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi.
