Microsoft wants to take down the MacBook Air

The new Surface Co-Pilot Plus PCs, which go on sale on June 18, are the fastest and most performant laptops Microsoft has ever made.

The MacBook Air has become the standard for the perfect mix of performance and portability, and Apple’s M3 has taken that to new heights. Microsoft says its new laptop beats that and spent a whole day walking reporters through the results.

Why did ChatGPT’s founder get fired? We’re hearing from a board member for the first time 

Former board member Helen Toner says the board was often kept in the dark and stopped trusting Altman after a series of inaccurate information was presented. She says that when ChatGPT launched in November 2022, the board found out about it on Twitter. They didn’t get any advanced heads up for something that would put the company on the map overnight. She also claims he provided inaccurate information about the company’s safety processes, something she says he did at a previous company where the management company went to the board to ask for him to be fired because of deceptive and chaotic behaviour.

Instagram’s Threads is looking more like Twitter every day
