Скачать или смотреть Sam Altman Confesses: Pentagon Deal Looks Opportunistic

OpenAI’s Pentagon Backlash, Microsoft’s “MicroSlop” Filter, Apple M5 MacBook Pro Price Hikes, and Washington’s Microchip Ban

Jim Love covers backlash to OpenAI’s rapid Pentagon deal announcement, with Sam Altman admitting it looked opportunistic as ChatGPT uninstall rates and one-star reviews spiked while Anthropic’s Claude gained installs; OpenAI then revised contract language to state its AI won’t intentionally be used for mass domestic surveillance or by agencies like the NSA without separate approval. He also discusses reports that Microsoft’s Copilot Discord filtered the term “MicroSlop,” prompting user workarounds and a server lockdown that Microsoft said was an anti-spam measure. Apple’s new M5 MacBook Pro lineup adds higher default storage, claims faster internal storage and ~20% GPU gains, but raises prices and introduces a pricier Studio Display XDR with optional nano-texture. Finally, Washington State proposes banning mandatory employee microchip implants amid broader workplace surveillance concerns.
