A new petition against OpenAI has been filed to the California AG.

A coalition of nonprofit, labor, and philanthropic leaders have filed a petition urging California Attorney General Rob Bonta to investigate OpenAI’s transformation from a mission-driven nonprofit to a multibillion-dollar AI juggernaut. The 29-page petition accuses the company of abandoning its charitable obligations and allowing private interests — particularly Microsoft — to profit from what was initially promised to be a public good.

“[OpenAI’s] current attempt to alter its corporate structure reveals its new goal: providing AI’s benefits – the potential for untold profits and control over what may become powerful world-altering technologies – to a handful of corporate investors and high-level employees.”

Bob McGrew first joined OpenAI in 2017, shortly after it had been founded, eventually rising through the ranks to become the company’s chief research officer. Last November, he suddenly departed the startup along with its CTO, Mira Murati. Now, it looks like McGrew has joined Murati at her new AI competitor, Thinking Machine Labs.

Google’s NotebookLM teases mobile app launch.

The AI note-taking tool that can process your documents and spit out insights (even in the form of AI-generated podcasts) is expanding beyond browser-only access, according to a recent company post.

Its only been available on desktop since launch, much to my chagrin. I need tiny screen access!
