A federal judge denied OpenAI’s bid to force The New York Times to reveal how its reporters use AI tools, ruling that the discovery request was overly broad. The ruling’s final metaphor gives you a hint of how silly the judge found the whole thing:

Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie has enlisted OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and nine other San Francisco leaders to guide his administration’s efforts to revitalize the city (and win back the support of its disgruntled tech elite).

On this day, one year ago, Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI — an event known internally as “The Blip.”

OpenAI president and cofounder Greg Brockman, who took a 3-month leave of absence from the company, is back at the company. (Brockman previously said his sabbatical would last through the end of the year.) His return comes after the startup lost several key leaders: CTO Mira Murati and chief research officer Bob McGrew.

A new wave of layoffs has hit X, primarily affecting its engineering department, according to two sources inside X and posts on the workplace forum Blind. The exact scale of the job cuts remains unknown.

What did Ilya see? What is going on with OpenAI’s next big model? Are we getting autonomous agents soon?
