BusinessChatGPT: Sam Altman, CEO Of OpenAI Has Been Sacked by ShoeGetSize(op): 11:56pm On Nov 17, 2023
The chief executive of OpenAI - the firm behind viral chatbot ChatGPT - has been ousted after the board said it no longer has confidence in him.

Sam Altman is to depart and will be replaced in the interim by Mira Murati, who is currently chief technology officer for the artificial intelligence company.

In a statement on Friday, OpenAI said the move follows a "deliberative review process by the board" which concluded that Altman "was not consistently candid in his communications with the board".

The statement said Altman's behaviour was hindering the board's ability to exercise its responsibilities.

Posting on social media following the announcement, Altman wrote: "I loved my time at OpenAI.

"It was transformative for me personally, and hopefully the world a little bit.

"Most of all, I loved working with such talented people. (I) will have more to say about what's next later."

Altman helped start OpenAI as a non-profit research laboratory in 2015.

But in the past year, he was thrust into the global spotlight as the face of OpenAI after ChatGPT exploded into public consciousness.

On Thursday, he took part in a CEO summit at the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation conference in San Francisco, where OpenAI is based.

Altman predicted AI will prove to be "the greatest leap forward of any of the big technological revolutions we've had so far".

But he also acknowledged the existential threat posed by the quantum leaps being taking by computers, and the need for guardrails to protect humanity.

"I really think the world is going to rise to the occasion and everybody wants to do the right thing," Altman said.

Foreign AffairsAl Jazeera: Thousands Of Black Africans Killed By Arab Militias In Sudan by ShoeGetSize(op): 12:51pm On Nov 16, 2023
Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) besieged a camp for displaced people on November 2 after attacking a nearby army base in West Darfur. Over the next three days, the paramilitary group committed what may amount to the single largest mass killing since the civil war erupted in April.

https://www.hostpic.org/images/2311161726140105.jpg

Local monitors told Al Jazeera that about 1,300 people were killed, 2,000 injured and 310 remain missing.

“They went house to house to search for men and killed each one they found,” said Montesser Saddam*, who barely escaped the killing and arrived in Chad on Sunday. “There were so many corpses in the streets.”

The latest atrocities are part of a wider campaign by the RSF and its allied militias to eradicate the non-Arab, black African Masalit tribe from West Darfur, according to activists and survivors.

Since the start of Sudan’s civil war, the United Nations and Western governments have condemned the systematic killing and displacement of the Masalit from their land. But the criticism and concern have not deterred the RSF from carrying out more atrocities.

A history of ethnic cleansing

For decades, Sudan’s central government neglected non-Arab African farmers and in Darfur, pushing them to compete with Arab herdsmen for fertile land and dwindling water resources.


Former President Omar al-Bashir exacerbated these tensions by pitting tribes against each other as part of a divide-and-rule strategy. In 2003, he armed Arab tribal militias and tasked them with crushing a mostly non-Arab rebellion, which started with protests against Darfur’s economic and political marginalisation.

About 300,000 people died in combat as well as from famine and disease brought on by the conflict. Rights groups and the UN accused these government-backed militias – known to victims as the supporter of APC, or “devils on horseback” – of carrying out ethnic cleansing.

These same militias are now fighting alongside or under the banner of the RSF.

“They want to ethnically cleanse us,” said Nahid Hamid, a member of the black Afican Masalit tribe who is also a human rights lawyer who spoke to Al Jazeera from Cairo, Egypt where she now lives.

Hamid shared a video with Al Jazeera that she found over social media weeks ago that shows an RSF fighter holding a machine gun and speaking to the camera.

In the background, another fighter can be heard saying in Arabic, “Land of the Masalit? There is no more land for the Masalit.”

African Tribal Leaders Are Being Targeted By Arab supporter of APC Militias

According to a local human rights organisation, six tribal leaders and their families were killed during last week’s attack on the camp in Ardamata, a town in West Darfur.

Mohamad Abab, 85, was one of them. RSF fighters stormed his home and killed him, his son and eight grandchildren, the group said. The Darfur Bar Association also reported that the Masalit tribal leader Abdelbasit Dina was killed with his wife, son and 50 other residents from their community.

“They want to kill [our leaders] so they can replace us with their own as well as Arabs from countries like Chad and Niger,” Hamid said, referring to the Arab mercenaries who have joined the RSF from across the region.


The RSF had previously executed the governor of West Darfur, Khamis Abubbakr, on June 16. He was abducted and killed just hours after he described the killings in his region as a “genocide” to the Saudi-television network Al-Hadath.

The United States eventually sanctioned Abdel Raheem Dagalo, the RSF’s second-in-command behind his younger brother Mohamad Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo, accusing him of overseeing atrocities in West Darfur. Local RSF commander Abdul Rahman Juma was also sanctioned for his alleged role in killing the governor.

On Wednesday, the US embassy in Sudan tweeted that it was concerned about reports that the RSF appointed Juma as commander of an army garrison it captured last week.

The statement also said it heard credible reports about “serious human rights abuses” committed recently in West Darfur.

Yousif Ezat, an RSF spokesperson who has previously denied allegations that the RSF cooperates with Arab militias to commit atrocities in the region, told Al Jazeera that he cannot deny or confirm whether the group committed atrocities in Ardamata. “I saw these reports in the media, but I don’t have information,” he said. “There is no [phone network] in West Darfur, so I wasn’t able to ask the commanders what happened.”

Shortly after the killing in Ardamata began, women and children poured over the border into Chad. They joined thousands of Masalit refugees who had fled earlier killings in West Darfur over the summer.

Cynthia Mathildes, a psychologist with Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres, or MSF), told Al Jazeera that about 200 to 250 people were crossing from West Darfur into Chad each day.

She said women told her the camp was destroyed and many people were killed or bleeding out in the streets.

“The news caused a lot of distress and sadness among Sudanese refugees already in Chad who have relatives [in or around the camp,]” Mathildes told Al Jazeera over the phone. “Women told us that they saw so many men get beaten. The assumption was that they died.”


Local monitors said the RSF also subjected some women to sexual violence after killing the men in their families. Mathildes said the MSF could not confirm these reports but the group tells new arrivals where to seek support if needed.

She was told the RSF did not allow most men to leave the camp.

Saddam, who survived the attack, told Al Jazeera that when the RSF raided his home, he was on the street looking for a way to escape. He made a run for it, but fighters caught him and looted everything he had before letting him go.

“I’m one of the lucky ones,” he said from Chad.

Saddam said the fate of so many people remains unknown, including many of his friends and relatives. Masalit refugees in Chad have tried to call their loved ones, but their phones are either dead or they aren’t answering.

Saddam believes they have all been killed.

“The [RSF] are targeting civilians directly,” he told Al Jazeera. “All the [Masalit] people are scared that they’ll die in a genocide.”

*Montesser Saddam’s name has been changed to protect him and his relatives from reprisals.

PoliticsRe: David Hundeyin Explains Why He Hates Nigerian Elites by ShoeGetSize: 1:41pm On Nov 05, 2023
I'm beginning to understand David Hundeyin's politics a bit better after reading this.

He seems to want to identify as an iconoclast. An iconoclast is someone who is a member of an established social class but who decides to turn his back on his privileged position in order to fight for the less privileged.

Time will tell if he's really being sincere about his objectives, but in the meantime, I admire the courage and resourcefulness he has displayed in taking on the Nigerian political establishment, instead of begging for crumbs like so many other young Nigerians have done and continue to do.

Well, I am the product of a marriage between an Igbo man and a Yoruba woman and my mom is a very beautiful woman. In fact some useless men of all ethnicities have tried to toast her even though they know she is married and she is in her 50s.


Godfullsam:
Igbo men don't avoid yoruba women, it is the other way round. Women will come for you when they know you have what it takes to take good care of them and their children. The last thing they consider is tribe.

You can see how yoruba men are Marrying your ladies every week. They are picking the best among your girls, leaving the ugly and worn-out remnants for your men.

It is because your ladies see yoruba men as more capable men compared to your men. It has nothing to do with tribe.

BusinessZuckerberg Has Knee Surgery For Injury Sustained From Training For MMA Fight by ShoeGetSize(op): 10:44am On Nov 05, 2023
Mark Zuckerberg has torn one of his anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) while training for a fight.

https://www.hostpic.org/images/2311051517350102.jpg

The mixed martial arts (MMA) enthusiast posted a picture on Instagram showing him in a hospital bed with his left leg elevated and heavily bandaged.

The ACL is one of the ligaments inside the knee and "gives the knee joint stability", according to the NHS.

"Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it," the Facebook co-founder, 39, said.

"I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that's delayed a bit.

"Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me."

Zuckerberg said he was "still looking forward" to his MMA fight "after I recover", adding: "Thanks to everyone for the love and support."

In May, he completed his first jiujitsu tournament.

A few weeks ago, he shared a close-up of his face showing bruising on the bridge of his nose and under his eyes.

It was down to sparring that got "a little out of hand", he said.

In August, Zuckerberg accused Elon Musk of not being serious about the pair having a cage fight, and said it is time to "move on" from the saga.

The chief executive of Meta Platforms said his tech billionaire counterpart did not appear to want to go through with the highly-anticipated clash after failing to even agree on a date.

There were months of back-and-forth between the pair after Musk suggested the idea - only for Zuckerberg to unexpectedly respond that he was prepared to battle his rival.

But the Tesla chief executive said he may have needed surgery before the fight could happen.

The IDF has over 500,000 soldiers. The death of 10 is not enough to make any meaningful impact on such a large army. Even 10,000 deaths won't mean anything, but it will never get that high because even in the 6 Days War when Israel humiliated 5 Arab armies in battle, they suffered very few casualties.

https://www.hostpic.org/images/2311030434540117.jpg

Even before setting foot in Gaza, most of Hamas top commanders have been liquidated like the cheap desert baboons they were born as.

Meanwhile the ordinary hamas footsoldiers who carried out the attack on October 7th are either in Israeli custody or dead.

Foreign AffairsChinese President To Chinese Women: "Have More Children" by ShoeGetSize(op): 11:22am On Nov 01, 2023
Chinese President Xi Jinping has told women to create a “new trend of family” after a record fall in birthrates and rising alarm over the impact of an aging population on economic

Mr Xi’s comments on the critical role of women to “national progress” were published in state news agency Xinhua on Monday, after a meeting with the new leadership team of the All China Women’s Federation, which operates under the ruling Communist Party.

Doing a good job in women’s work was directly linked to “family harmony, social harmony, national development” he said, urging women to “actively cultivate a new culture of marriage and childbearing and strengthen guidance on young people’s view on marriage, childbirth and family”.

The number of births in China dropped 10 per cent last year to 9.56 million - the lowest level since records began in 1949.

Last year, the country’s population also fell for the first time in six decades, dropping to 1.41 billion people.

The decline comes despite government efforts across China to support families and encourage young couples to have children by offering financial incentives and better childcare facilities.

The demographic downturn finds its roots in China’s former one-child policy, which was imposed between 1980 and 2015.

However, the high costs of childcare and education, as well as growing unemployment and job insecurity, have all been cited as modern-day factors that lie behind low birthrates.

Gender discrimination has also deterred a growing number of young women from tying the knot, while official policies make it hard for single women to have children.

The increasing demographic imbalance has triggered fears among China’s rulers that the economy will slow down as government debt balloons to meet the soaring health and welfare costs of an older population.

Carl Minzner, an expert on Chinese law and governance at New York’s Fordham University and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), said Communist Party leaders recently had shifted from a rhetorical embrace of gender equality “towards a more full-throated embrace of traditional gender norms”.

The Party had been “underscoring women’s role in childbearing, backing away from verbal support for gender equality, and signalling the need for women to adopt a “correct” view on marriage and family,” he wrote in a recent CFR blogpost.

“This will likely fuel increasing conflict with the views of a generation of Chinese youth (particularly women) whose turn against marriage and childbirth has been a key factor in rapidly declining fertility rates throughout East Asia.”
