A 43-year-old man from the US state of Florida pleaded guilty to threatening to kill a Supreme Court justice, last week. The man, later identified as Neal Brij Sidhwaney, had issued a threat twice against a member of the SCOTUS, according to court filings.&nbsp;

Sidhwaney who hails from Fernandina Beach, Florida called the Supreme Court on July 31 “and left an expletive-laden, threatening voicemail message” for a member of the court, said the Department of Justice (DOJ) in a statement.&nbsp;

Just one month past the major upheaval in OpenAI – creator of ChatGPT – which left the world shocked as its founder Sam Altman was&nbsp;ousted only to rise like a phoenix, the man in the middle of all chaos found himself as the recipient of the title “CEO of the Year” in 2023 by Time magazine. With this Altman appeared to break all records of hitting highs and lows at the same time.&nbsp;

The year 2022 emerged as a playing ground for Microsoft-backed OpenAI which introduced to the world the artificial intelligence that not only created an existenial crisis for other technologies but also threatened the human society. At a time when the world seemed to be immersed in the debate over the potential and threats of AI and the need to introduce a policy for regulating the technology, Sam Altman suddenly was thrown out of his empire – leaving the world of technology in disarray.

<h2>Dethroning of Altman&nbsp;</h2>

OpenAI's CEO and co-founder Sam Altman was fired by the board on November 17 over a Google Meet call and soon after President Greg Brockman was removed from the board, which finally led to his stepping down.

In an internal memo, COO Brad Lightcap said that the firing of Altman was over a "breakdown in communication between Sam and the board," and not "malfeasance".

The tension inside the firm increased on November 18 as a few employees started contemplating quitting if the board did not restore Altman as the CEO by the end of the weekend.

On the other hand, the poster boy of OpenAI now seemed to find a way out of the mess in which he suggested launching a new AI startup. However, in a sudden turn of events, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on November 20 announced that Altman, Brockman, along with their colleagues, have been hired to lead a new advanced AI research team.&nbsp;

The whirlwind of tension took the shape of a coup on November 20 when all OpenAI staff threatened to resign and join Altman's team at Microsoft if the board failed to resign.&nbsp;

In the most unexpected conclusive event, Altman came back to OpenAI on November 21 as CEO with a new initial board which included Bret Taylor, Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo. Brockman also made his way back to the startup. In his first firm step after returning to power, Altman sacked almost the entire pre-existing board which had conspired against him.

<h2>Why Altman was fired by the board?&nbsp;</h2>

In the official announcement, Open AI's board members had said that Altman was fired because “he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board” and was thus “hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities”. Miscommunication was held as the biggest reason behind Altman's sudden dethroning, but some reports also suggested that he was becoming fearful for many.

But some reports suggested, that OpenAI was working on an advanced system which was so powerful that it led to safety concerns among the company's staff members before Altman was sacked.

Some OpenAI researchers were alarmed by the artificial intelligence model to such an extent that they wrote to the board of directors warning that it may threaten humanity, reported Reuters.

The report added that the speed with which the system was being developed alarmed few safety researchers. These allegations and the turmoil that hit OpenAI gave the world a reminder of how the future of AI does not rest in the hands of a few but is a collective responsibility and the path in this world needs to be trodden carefully.

Tech giant Google's parent company Alphabet has agreed to pay $700 million to settle an antitrust case with US states and consumers filed in federal court on Monday (Dec 18).

Tech giant Google's parent company Alphabet has agreed to pay $700 million to settle an antitrust case with US states and consumers filed in federal court on Monday (Dec 18). Of the $700mn, the company will pay $630mn to US consumers and the remaining amount to a fund used by the US states which will benefit 102 million consumers. The settlement was reached in September but the finer details were made public on Monday with the company adding that it will allow more competition in its Play app store. Notably, the complaint highlighted Google’s monopoly over app distribution on Android through the Play Store. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands had joined the settlement and will receive the compensation. “Each eligible consumer will receive at least $2 and will receive additional payments in proportion to their Google Play spending during the period between August 16, 2016 and September 30, 2023,” Google said in a statement. As part of the settlement, Google said it would simplify users' ability to download apps directly from developers. “This settlement builds on Android’s choice and flexibility, maintains strong security protections, and retains Google’s ability to compete with other OS makers, and invest in the Android ecosystem for users and developers,” the company added. Watch | Epic Games wins major court battle against Google × Google's Epic takedown Google agreeing to cough up the settlement money comes roughly a week after losing another antitrust trial against Fortnite maker Epic Games. After years of courtroom drama, the San Franciso jury found that Google struck some deals that stifled competition for its Play mobile app store while violating California and federal antitrust laws. Epic Games in its 2020 lawsuit alleged that Google struck deals with smartphone makers such as LG and Samsung to pin its app store on home screens, in return for a cut of Google’s profits. It also said that the tech giant abused its powers to charge excessive fees from app developers, citing Google’s massive operating profit of $12 billion in 2021 alone from Play Store. Also read | Epic Games' 'epic' win: Jury finds Google guilty of monopolistic practices in antitrust trial Epic CEO Tim Sweeney celebrated the ruling on the social media site X. In a statement on its website, Epic said that the verdict "proves that Google's app store practices are illegal, and they abuse their monopoly to extract exorbitant fees, stifle competition and reduce innovation." Wilson White, Google vice president of government affairs and public policy, however, said the company will challenge the verdict and defend the Android business model. Interestingly, the terms of the $700mn settlement with US states and consumers were kept confidential, despite being agreed in September due to the trial result of the Epic vs Google case.

The air quality in Australia's East Coast city of Sydney plummeted to levels comparable to New Delhi, the Indian capital and one of the world's most polluted metropolises.

The air quality in Australia's East Coast city of Sydney plummeted to levels comparable to New Delhi, the Indian capital and one of the world's most polluted metropolises. The usually clear and blue skies of Sydney transformed into a greyish, dystopic-looking scenery as the capital of North South Wales struggled with smoke coming from Duck Creek, Pilliga Forest bushfire some 400 kilometres away. According to reports, the air quality index hit 161 in the city's downtown area after 5 pm (0600 GMT). The poor quality of air has forced the authorities to issue advisories urging people to avoid prolonged outdoor exercise. According to the Rural Fire Service (RFS), the bushfires have spread roughly across 136,000 hectares (336,000) acres, an area almost the size of Greater London in the south and the smoke is continuously drifting towards Sydney. "We are seeing smoke drift from the Duck Creek-Pilliga Forest fire, which is burning in the northern part of the state, being pushed under very strong northerly winds down into the Hunter and it's being experienced in greater Sydney region as well," RFS spokesperson Greg Allan said. Watch | Delhi AQI: Air pollution in India's New Delhi turns 'severe', Delhi AQI stands at 468 × RFS said as many as 450 firefighters and other personnel were on the ground, working to control the blazes in easing conditions for the north of the state. Although no total fire ban has been applied so far, a high fire danger rating remains in place for an area stretching from Sydney’s west to the Victorian border. Temperatures reached into the mid-30s for Sydney, parts of the mid-north coast, and northwest and central-west slopes and plains. Delhi's pollution woes While the AQI reaching 161 is a one-off incident in Sydney, the pollution levels in Delhi constantly hover between 74 and 225. In the first couple of weeks of November, the levels usually surpass 400 as well due to stubble burning in the neighbouring states. Also read | Delhi's pollution woes likely to be solved by artificial rain after IIT Kanpur steps in Last month, the Delhi government ordered an early winter break in schools from November 9 to 18 due to deteriorating air quality.

To reduce the pollution level, the Delhi government had mulled using cloud seeding to induce artificial rainfall. The proposal, however, remains in the preliminary stage so far.
