OpenAI Board Unanimously Dismisses Elon Musk Takeover Attempt
OpenAI unanimously rejected Elon Musk's $97.4 billion bid, reinforcing its commitment to independence and ongoing AI development.
Details:
OpenAI's board chair called the bid a competitive disruption, rejecting it as misaligned with their mission
The rejection follows Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and its shift to a for-profit model, which he opposes
Musk offered to drop the bid if OpenAI stays charitable and halts the shift, but its lawyers see this as an attempt to weaken a rival
The dispute grows as Musk's allies question OpenAI's mission. Altman calls the bid a stalling tactic, while OpenAI reaffirms independence.

Meta Goes All In on Humanoid Robot Development
Meta is diving into AI-powered humanoid robotics, forming a specialized team within its Reality Labs division—a bold move alongside its AR and AI efforts.
Details:
Meta aims to power the humanoid robot industry with AI, sensors, and software, partnering with Unitree Robotics and Figure AI instead of making its own robots—similar to Android’s role in mobile tech
Ex-Cruise CEO Marc Whitten will lead a 100-engineer team, using Meta’s strengths in hand tracking, low-bandwidth computing, and sensors, backed by its $65B AI investment
The focus is household automation—tackling tasks like folding clothes and dishwashing—leveraging AR/VR data and AI to overcome current robot limitations
As Apple, Google DeepMind, and Tesla explore similar ventures, Meta’s investment and approach could reshape home automation.

Autopsy Confirms Suicide in OpenAI Whistleblower Case
An autopsy report confirmed that Suchir Balaji, the 26-year-old OpenAI whistleblower, died by suicide in his San Francisco apartment on November 26, 2024, ending months of speculation.
Details:
Death was from a self-inflicted gunshot wound using a registered weapon; gunshot residue on both hands, no forced entry
Balaji told The New York Times OpenAI allegedly violated federal copyright laws, triggering lawsuits from media groups
Despite family concerns and social media speculation, authorities found no evidence of homicide
If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.
