Latest Tech: Sam Altman’s $7 trillion AI chip project might not be very realistic

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wants to raise trillions of dollars to reshape the global semiconductor industry, The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month, an effort to boost chip-making capacity and power more artificial intelligence.

Latest: United Airlines had to ground a whole fleet of planes because of an old law about the ‘No Smoking’ sign

After causing a stir by mysteriously grounding its new Airbus A321neo planes on Monday, United Airlines wants people to know the decision has nothing to do with safety and isn’t even that exciting. Rather, it has to do with the aircrafts’ “No Smoking” signs, which are required by a 1990 law to be operated by the flight crew.How to negotiate salary going into a new job | Your WalletThat’s not the case on the A321neo, which has software that keeps the “No Smoking” sign turned on continuously during flights, like many other aircraft in United’s fleet.
