Bible Verses of the Day

10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; 12 if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; 13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself. [2 Timothy 2:10-13, ESV]

When the U.S. introduced its latest export control rules for advanced AI and HPC processors, it not only restricted sales of sophisticated processors to Chinese entities, it also restricted supplies of these devices to multiple Middle East countries.

However, a new report indicates that Nvidia believes it can get an export license to sell its AI GPUs to a telecom giant operating in multiple Middle East countries.

Nvidia has entered into a deal with Ooredoo to 'introduce its AI technology' in datacenters across five Middle Eastern countries, reports Reuters. This collaboration signifies Nvidia's first major expansion in a region where the U.S. has restricted exports of advanced AI and HPC processors to prevent Chinese access to cutting-edge technologies to train its large language AI models or even advance its military capabilities.

Vox Media’s president, Pam Wasserstein, sent her staff a Slack message and an email on May 29 detailing what the company’s journalists say was shocking news: Vox had signed a content licensing deal with OpenAI.

The deal gives the AI company access to Vox’s current content, as well as the entire archive of its journalistic work, to train ChatGPT and other models. Wasserstein sent the alerts just moments before Axios published an exclusive detailing the licensing and product deal, much to the surprise of her journalists.

Writers at The Atlantic, which signed a similar deal with the Microsoft-backed AI giant, were also sent an email moments before the Axios piece went up.

None of the current or former journalists at either company who TechCrunch interviewed had any inkling that their work would be handed over to OpenAI. All of them are concerned that their employers are making short-sighted deals that will ultimately harm writers and journalism as a whole.
