Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has witnessed a fantastic launch, probably the franchise's most successful entry, as it captured the attention of over half of the US Xbox Series S/X players. Well, it won't be wrong to say that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has managed to put behind all the woes we had with Activision and partners in terms of their take on the franchise since the newest entry has managed to break all previous records, in terms of the anticipation and hype. During Microsoft's recent earnings call, CEO Satya Nadella verified that Call of Duty: Black […]

Here's something we weren't expecting: Age of Empires II Definitive Edition might be about to launch on PlayStation consoles. The rumor comes from the franchise's subreddit, where someone spotted players supposedly joining a multiplayer match from Sony's platform, possibly while testing the port. Truth to be told, The Verge's Tom Warren did hint it could happen in a newsletter posted a few months ago: As part of Project Latitude, Microsoft has also been considering launching Age of Empires II Definitive Edition on rival consoles in early 2025, and its upcoming remastered spinoff, Age of Mythology: Retold, could come, too. Age […]

The five-day drama, which showcased the firing of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and then reinstating him as the company’s Chief Executive, is just another example of how haywire the realm of Silicon Valley can be. However, Altman’s firing was not due to him maintaining a rebellious attitude with the board but due to an AI breakthrough discovery by OpenAI researchers that could potentially be dangerous to humanity. Several OpenAI staff researchers wrote a letter to the board, informing them of the dangers this AI breakthrough possesses, which ultimately led to the firing of Sam Altman Assuming AI is left unchecked […]
After a remarkable weekend in Silicon Valley that saw its latest innovation, A.I., sitting dead center between typical corporate boardroom politics, OpenAI's former C.E.O Sam Altman returned to his company triumphantly. Altman's friction with OpenAI's board has caused a lot of discourse in social and traditional media, with the disagreements believed to stem from the divide between OpenAI and its holding company's profit/non-profit nature. However, a for-profit approach might not have been the only reason for the divide, as a fresh report from the New York Times shares that a key source of friction was a research paper written by […]
After OpenAI co-founders set aside their differences to work together again, former and current CEO Sam Altman announced his return to the company late at night yesterday. The announcement was confirmed by the company, too, on X, after xAI CEO Elon Musk shared a letter on GitHub with stunning allegations against the firm that was formed as a moonshot attempt at humanity's first artificial general intelligence (AGI) computing software. OpenAI's ChatGPT, trained on the latest semiconductors designed by NVIDIA Corporation, has been the center of media coverage for a year now, and with the fairy tale completing its first 12 […]
Shortly after being fired and replaced with Emmett Shear as interim CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman will return to the company at his rightful place of Chief Executive, with the drama finally coming to a close after five days. In response to his firing, around 500 employees stationed at OpenAI threatened to walk out of the company and join Microsoft, the software giant that recently announced that both Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and other colleagues will lead a new advanced AI research team. Needless to say, OpenAI’s value would likely have dropped to zero if the board did not backtrack […]
Just when you thought there could not possibly be any more climactic twists left in this ongoing saga, former OpenAI employees have come forward to level serious allegations against the just-deposed CEO, Sam Altman. What's even more surreal, the letter from these employees has landed in the hands of Elon Musk who has now called for a thorough investigation. For the benefit of those who might not be aware of all of the intricate details in this live soap opera, OpenAI's board of directors sent shockwaves throughout the global tech sector on Friday when it dismissed Sam Altman for not […]
OpenAI is the research organization behind ChatGPT, the AI-generated chatbot that took the internet by storm last year for its capacity to have really weird conversations with tech journalists. It’s at the center of Microsoft’s big bet on generative AI...
A "juvenile 4-person board" and "kids' poker" are some of the words being bandied about today as the entire social media collectively erupts with hot takes on the power moves that transpired over the weekend, relegating the erstwhile apex predator of the world of generative artificial intelligence to the dustbin of history as Microsoft ascends the proverbial throne while treading on OpenAI's crumbling carcass. What Happened? As we reported on Friday, OpenAI's board of directors fired its then-CEO, Sam Altman, with nary a prior notice for not being "consistently candid," a deliberately vague charge that immediately set the proverbial tongues […]
After Sam Altman’s Interim CEO replacement was announced, Microsoft’s Chief Executive Satya Nadella came in with a surprise on X, stating that while the software giant and OpenAI will continue to have a strong working relationship, there are other changes that will happen at the company, starting with the formation of an advanced AI research team. Along with a few other colleagues, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, both co-founders of OpenAI, have joined Microsoft to lead this team, securing quick employment after their abrupt departure from one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies. Microsoft’s Satya Nadella says that the company […]
