Sam Altman comes out swinging at The New York Times

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2026-02-28 11:54:57

From the moment OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stepped onstage, it was clear this was not going to be a normal interview. Altman and his chief operating officer, Brad Lightcap, stood awkwardly toward the back of the stage at a jam-packed San Francisco venue that typically hosts jazz concerts. Hundreds of people filled steep theatre-style seating on Wednesday night to watch Kevin Roose, a columnist with The New York Times, and Platformer’s Casey Newton record a live episode of their popular technology po

OpenAI Removes All Jony Ive Materials From Its Website

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-28 16:21:27

"This is silly, disappointing and wrong." It's only been a month since OpenAI announced its secretive new project with iPhone designer Jony Ive — and already, the partnership is in legal hot water. As the Associated Press reports, all mentions of Ive and his AI device brand, io, have been removed from OpenAI's website and marketing materials after a judge ruled in favor of Iyo, another AI wearable company that has sued the pair for allegedly stealing its product concepts and trademarked name.

OpenAI vs. iyO: Key takeaways from the new legal filings

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-27 12:19:20

Yesterday evening, TechCrunch reported on a series of new legal filings made by OpenAI in the iyO trademark lawsuit that led to the scrubbing of the ‘io’ brand on OpenAI’s website. The documents, filed by OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman as well as ex-Apple employees Evans Hankey, Tang Tan, and Marwan Rammah (now all at io Products), reveal as much about the company’s ambitions as they do about what it hopes to keep under wraps. Here are a few key takeaways. 1: iyO tried to hire Evans Hankey In 2022,

This Gemini feature in the YouTube app convinced me to finally ditch the Google Assistant

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Ever since Google announced that it would begin phasing out its Assistant for Gemini as the default voice assistant, I have found myself struggling to pick between the two. On one hand, I like the familiarity and reliability of the Assistant but on the other, Gemini is the only one still getting new features. The latter is exactly what finally pushed me to start using Gemini more seriously — despite the occasional hiccup and hallucination. In particular, I’ve

As OpenAI fights a trademark lawsuit over its now-scrubbed “io” brand, new public court filings are giving us the most detailed glimpse yet into what Sam Altman and Jony Ive’s hardware team have been up to behind the scenes. ‘Not an in-ear device, nor a wearable device’ As reported by The Verge and Bloomberg yesterday, the legal battle stems from a case brought by iyO, a Google-backed startup that argues the “io” branding from OpenAI’s newly formed io Products, Inc., is too close for comfort.

YouTube's new anti-adblock measures

Over the past few months, YouTube has been trying another round of anti-adblock measures. Currently the anti-adblock stuff is being A/B tested, and one of my accounts is in the experimental group. I wrote a filter that partially avoids one of the anti-adblock measures, fake buffering, on uBlock Origin (and Brave browser, since it uses the same filter rules). (It’s already in the default filter lists, you don’t need to manually add the filter.) One thing that people have ran into is “fake buffer

The original Pac-Man is unquestionably a video game classic, well deserving of its position in the inaugural class of the Strong Museum of Play's World Video Game Hall of Fame.
