Philisophical question
Imagine a theoretical VR headset that could fully trick all of your senses with perfect fidelity... You put the headset on and see the highest resolution perfect visual of the expansive Grand Canyon or some beautiful natural wonder in front of you
If you could see perfect visuals and hear the birds chirping and feel the wind on your face and smell the grass feel the warm sun on the back of your neck and every sense is fully covered to the point where your brain is basically tricked into believing you're ACTUALLY looking at the Grand Canyon...
when you take the headset off... would you still want to go to the Grand Canyon?

In 2012, a Burger King employee anonymously posted an image on 4-chan of him putting his feet in lettuce, with the caption:
"This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King."
It took 20 minutes for people to track down the branch the employee worked at and contact the news.
The next morning, Cleveland Scene Magazine contacted the Burger King establishment and talked to the breakfast shift manager, who, upon seeing the offending photo, said, "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting fired."

Yesterday I tweeted about Kerala being threatened by Centre to change the name of ‘Family Health Centers’ to ‘Ayushman Arogya Mandirs’. Today worse news – National Medical Commission has replaced the Asoka emblem by the image of Hindu god Dhanvantri. Bigots of the first order!
We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.
We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.
We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett Shear and OAI's new leadership team and working with them. And we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.
OpenAI Fires CEO Sam Altman
Sam Altman has been pushed out of AI juggernaut Open AI after an internal review found he had not been “consistently candid” with his representations to the board.
Launched in 2015 as a non-profit with the mission to build AI that was “safe and broadly beneficial,” the company has grown into one of the most powerful AI firms in the world.
Altman’s image as AI leader continued as recently as Wednesday morning, when he sat on a panel at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco, telling those gathered that while humanity is “on a path to self-destruction as a species right now,” artificial intelligence could be a solution.
