futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-30 09:05:59

In the early morning hours of Thursday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed that an OpenAI whistleblower named Suchir Balaji, who passed away last year, was actually killed. "He was murdered," Musk posted, in reference to Balaji's death. The late 26-year-old software engineer had gone to the New York Times months before his passing, decrying what he deemed to be illegal copyright violations by his employer. He was also prepared to testify as a witness in the newspaper's lawsuit against the company. A

The transition, should it be cleared by state regulators, could allow OpenAI to raise additional capital from investors and, eventually, become a public company.

Jeff Kaufman shared some data around contra dance attendance as a function of requirements on wearing surgical masks. He compares this data to survey data, which is a useful way to validate in both directions. I found the plot compelling for a different reason – depending on how we look at it, we can draw wildly different conclusions from it. On the one hand, if we draw boxes around consecutive pairs of dances, it’s fairly obvious that mask-optional dances are more popular. Tickmarks at the top

Tesla's Market Share Has Fallen So Badly That It's Back to 2017 Levels

Ten years ago, it was rare to see a Tesla on the road.

In the following years, Tesla rocketed to the top of the sales charts, cementing its Model Y as the best-selling vehicle of 2023.

Extensive burns are usually treated by transplanting a thin layer of epidermis, the top layer of skin, from elsewhere on the body. However, this method not only leaves large scars, it also does not restore the skin to its original functional state. Unless the dermis, the layer below the epidermis, which contains blood vessels and nerves, is regenerated, it cannot be considered normal living skin. Now, wor
