In a move that would likely make Shyamalan furrow his brow, Sam Altman, co-founder and former CEO of OpenAI (recently dismissed), seems to have found his way back to the Big Tent, and with a VIP pass! An official announcement from OpenAI cited an "agreement in principle" for Altman to resume his duties as CEO, along with a restructuring of the board.

This shakeup at the top comes after a series of tumultuous events that began with Altman's dismissal. Amid accusations of dishonesty with the board and a threat of massive employee resignation, Altman even contemplated the possibility of joining Microsoft. However, in the pure style of Arcadian superheroes, spurred on by his love for OpenAI, he won the battle for the throne and reclaimed his title as CEO. Much like his disgraced compatriot, Greg Brockman, who restores his seat as co-founder of OpenAI after having left in protest of Altman's dismissal.

🎪 More twists and turns than in a circus full of acrobats!

The entrance of new titans to the board - Bret Taylor, former CEO of Salesforce, Larry Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary, and Adam D'Angelo - as well as the possible removal of three members who precipitated Altman's dismissal, point to a significant reconfiguration of OpenAI. This change undoubtedly produces many murmurs and speculations about what direction the company will now take, and whether this "revolving doors" strategy is a cure-all or a quick fix for the company's deeper problems.

In conclusion, Altman's return to OpenAI marks another episode in this fascinating saga of corporate politics. His return, though interpreted as a challenge to the board's authority, typifies the blurred boundary between the powers of shareholders and company executives. Even so, it is expected to be full of surprises and feats, as any good circus show would have it.

Shining with his usual audacity, Elon Musk presents us with a provocative solution to the global energy demand: a gigantic "fusion reactor" planted directly above our heads. Are we contemplating alien interference? No, nothing so exaggerated. Musk simply suggests taking advantage of our beloved star: the Sun.

The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX proposes a massive photovoltaic plant, about 160 x 160 km, that would cover the entire energy demand of the US. It's no wonder this technological titan is visionary enough to consider such a proposal, especially when we remember that his company Tesla acquired SolarCity in 2016, one of the leading marketers of solar energy generation systems.

But Musk's proposals don't stop at the boundaries of sunsets and sunrises. Intergovernmental space organizations are exploring the idea of "space-based solar power", which, though it faces huge challenges, is being seriously studied. Between ESA's study on the viability of SBSP (space-based solar power) and the efforts of JAXA, the Japanese space agency, it's clear that the idea of harnessing solar energy on a massive scale is gaining traction.

Elon Musk has always been a leader in the technological revolution, and with this latest proposal, he shows us once again why. Solar energy powering an entire country? Gigantic solar power satellites in space? It may seem like a science fiction argument, but with the speed at which technology is developing and the growing need for sustainable energy sources, Musk's vision might be our reality in the not too distant future.

Hold on to your seats! The adventures of high tech and international diplomacy are in full swing! This time the stage is set at the APEC summit held this week in San Francisco and the protagonists are none other than the United States and China. The hot topic? Nothing less than the military use of artificial intelligence (AI). Who said high-level meetings were boring?

At the heart of the discussions are the risks associated with the military deployment of AI applications. According to senior officials from the United States Department of State, "We have a collective interest in reducing the potential risks of deploying unreliable AI applications." The idea is to establish limits to prevent an escalation of unintended risks, something that could be amplified by the reckless use of this technology. And of course, the US hopes to have a productive dialogue with China to address this crucial issue.

It seems that we are one step away from witnessing conversations that could define how we manage the amazing potential of AI, both in terms of the development of our society and the military field. The fact that an agreement is being pursued between the two most powerful nations in the world on how and when to use this technology will certainly mark a milestone in history.

Finally, and beyond any controversy that may arise, this situation once again highlights the pivotal role that emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, are playing in our contemporary life. Whether we're talking about the economy, education, health, and as we see, even war. Certainly, the eternal dilemma between what we can do with technology and what we should do with it will continue to be a recurring theme in our Daily Dose of news. We're ready for the journey, are you?
