Image: The Verge Elon Musk has revived his complaint against OpenAI after dropping a previous lawsuit, again alleging that the ChatGPT maker and two of its founders — Sam Altman and Greg Brockman — breached the company’s founding mission to develop artificial intelligence technology to benefit humanity. The new lawsuit filed in federal court in Northern California on Monday says that Altman and Brockman “assiduously manipulated Musk into co-founding their spurious non-profit venture” by promising that OpenAI would be safer and more transparent than profit-driven alternatives. The suit claims that assurances about OpenAI’s nonprofit structure were “the hook for Altman’s long con.” Musk made similar accusations in a “hilariously bad” lawsuit that he... Continue reading…

Illustration by Cath Virginia / The Verge If you’ve been on Max lately, you might’ve noticed more personalized rows of content across your entire homepage. That’s because the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max rolled out a new “whole page optimization” system in the US last month to get viewers to keep coming back — and Warner Bros. Discovery says it’s working. Liesel Kipp, Warner Bros. Discovery’s senior vice president of global streaming product, tells The Verge that the company has seen a “meaningful lift” in how long viewers watch content on Max, how many times they come back, and the types of shows people end up watching. “The system can really help consumers find those hidden gems on Max,” Kipp says. Similar to other content algorithms, like the one used by... Continue reading…

There's a lot of anticipation for the upcoming M4 Macs. The first batch is expected to launch later this year, and a previous rumor says Apple wants to update every Mac with this new processor. So far, the only Apple device with the M4 chip is the new iPad Pro, which was released a few months ago. According to Apple, the M4 processor has a powerful new CPU with 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores, with next-gen ML generators. It is up to 50% faster than M2. With a 10-core GPU, it offers Dynamic Caching and hardware ray tracing, with 4x faster performance than M2 iPad Pro. M4 can deliver the same performance as the M2 with just half the power. The Neural Engine comes with a 16-core design, with up to 38 trillion operations per second—60x faster than Apple’s first Neural Engine. That said, in his latest Power On newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman gives an interesting tidbit about the new M4 Macs. The journalist says that in addition to making these computers more powerful, "at least one Mac model will get more dramatic changes." Here's what M4 Mac could get a major redesign Image source: Apple Inc. In the Power On newsletter, Gurman talks about three M4 Macs being released this year: The M4 MacBook Pro, the Mac mini, and iMac. Despite the Mac mini, the other two Macs were recently redesigned. While the M4 iMac will likely switch its accessories to USB-C, we wouldn't call this a "dramatic change." In addition, Apple could revamp the Mac mini with a new design, but we haven't heard anything corroborating this possibility. That said, for these models, we expect Apple to focus on introducing the new M4 Pro and M4 Max chips instead of announcing a major redesign. By 2025, Cupertino is expected to unveil a new MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro. Of all these models, the Mac Pro is most likely to get a redesign. In previous years, rumors revealed that Apple was working on an all-new Mac Pro. While many people were disappointed with Apple's similar design with the M2 Ultra Mac Pro compared to the Intel model, it seems Cupertino could finally be readying the "real" version it always wanted to release with the 2025 Mac Pro. Still, we'll need to wait until the second semester of 2025 for the new Mac Pro, as the M4 Ultra (or even a better chip) is expected by the second half of next year.

On a calm, clear night towards the end of November 1120, the White Ship set sail from Barfleur in Normandy, bound for England. Crowding aboard the little vessel, a riotous party of some three hundred passengers and crew were all royally drunk – literally so, since the three great barrels of wine they had consumed had been destined for the court of the English king, Henry I. It was his son, the seventeen-year-old William Adelin, chief among the passengers, who had ordered the wine to be distributed, but this generous gesture would cost him his life. For as the ship flew speedily but erratically among the treacherous rocks lining the coast off Barfleur, the inevitable happened. Driven hard onto a rock and holed below the waterline, the White ship sank, and William, his fellow passengers and crew, were drowned in the icy seas. For Henry I this was not just a personal tragedy. The youngest of three brothers, he, himself, had come to the English throne in controversial circumstances, later defeating his older brother Robert and claiming his dukedom of Normandy as well. He had clearly planned a smoother passage for his heir, for William Adelin, his sole legitimate son, had been trained from childhood for his future role, and already acclaimed by the nobles of England and Normandy as Henry’s successor. Even so, there had been challenges to Henry’s rule, not the least from Robert’s son, William Clito, who along with his supporter, King Louis of France, had recently been defeated in battle. Henry was determined Clito would never succeed him either in England or in Normandy, but where now was he to find an heir for his lands?

The hospitality workers' union UNITE HERE has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, a rejoinder to Republican Donald Trump's effort to woo restaurant and hotel workers by promising to make their tips tax-free.

U.S. stock index futures tumbled Monday, with those tied to the Nasdaq sliding almost 6%, as fears of the United States tipping into recession following weak data last week rippled through global markets.
