March 12 is Equal Pay Day in the U.S., a representation of the additional number of days women must work in order to match the amount men earned last year. But in some cities, it could take even longer.

A report from product research company, ChamberofCommerce.org, using data from the U.S. Census, examines which U.S. cities have the dubious honor of having the largest gender pay gaps. Four of the top 10 cities are in California, with Texas claiming three of the other Top 10 spots. A

It’s the scandal that keeps on giving—and has dominated social media discourse in a way few other stories have for years: What the hell is going on with Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, and wife to the next King-in-waiting?

AI appears incapable of generating a dad joke my family will tolerate. In fact, AI-generated content only seems to exacerbate a joke’s groaning reception. I sit, pleading with ChatGPT to deliver a better knock-knock joke to please my teenage kids, but it fails to live up to their adolescent standards.

Before the Enlightenment spread across Europe, inspiring the likes of Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson in colonial America, most people were subjects. Their claim on life was quite literally subject to the discretion of a king or queen, and their livelihoods were determined by an accident of birth that left them obligated to serve the lord or baron on whose land they toiled.

Back in November, Sam Altman was fired from his position as CEO of OpenAI on a Friday the week before a holiday weekend—only to return to his job after a chaotic 86 hours that nearly tanked the $80 billion company. This past Friday, OpenAI dropped another bombshell. It announced the outcome of the investigation into the behavior that prompted Altman’s ouster—and it introduced a handful of new members to the board.

According to OpenAI, a review of more than 30,00

Elon Musk said on Monday his artificial intelligence startup xAI would take its ChatGPT challenger “Grok” open-source this week, days after he sued OpenAI for abandoning its original mission in favor of a for-profit model.

Bitcoin is getting a lot of attention lately, hitting new all-time highs as it crossed $72,000 on Monday. But another area of the crypto world is gaining ground nearly as fast. Artificial intelligence-related tokens, like all things AI, are red hot. In mid-February, the category had a market cap of just under $10 billion. As of midday Monday, that stood at just over $27 billion.

Sam Altman is rejoining the board of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI along with three new directors, as the startup tries to move past his sudden ouster in November that had shocked the tech industry.

You could argue that generative AI has had a pretty negative marketing campaign from its nascent introduction into the world order to where we are today. From heretic articles bemoaning the top jobs that will be replaced, to hastily arranged committees of the titans of tech defining our AI future, to the culture heralded CEO of AI (Sam Altman) being ousted and then re-ordained, to the Musk-ian battles for AI invasive supremacy, and to no doubt a year of election deepfakes.

Nations around the world are rapidly developing high-energy laser weapons for military missions on land and sea, and in the air and space.
