OpenAI announced Thursday it reached a non-binding agreement with Microsoft, its largest investor, on a revised partnership that would allow the startup to convert its for-profit arm into a public benefit corporation (PBC).

Nuno is a cautious coach and would have plotted a counterattacking approach at the Emirates Stadium, but there are no guarantees with Postecoglou. Pragmatism is a word rarely associated with the…

Undeniably gripping at times, while proving conclusively that any attempt to do an “apolitical” documentary about what happened in Israel on October 7, 2023, is inherently unworkable, Barry Avrich’s over-titled new documentary The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue is designed to be controversial.
