Scoop from @RebeccaTorrenc5, @EdLudlow & @shiringhaffary: OpenAI's new fundraising round is expected to bring in at least $30 billion in new capital at a $1.4 trillion valuation. It's basically a bridge round, set to help the co with capital needs instead of a near-term IPO

New w/ @rachelmetz: For the past few days, the normie world has been getting a glimpse of the long-running "we're all gonna die" story in AI. But what is it, exactly, that we're talking about when we talk about doom? Or rather, what are we NOT talking about? (Accountability.)

Wow. Great Investigation from @oliviasolon @jeffykao and Priyanjana Bengani on how Phia, a startup founded by Bill Gates’ daughter Phoebe, takes $$ from other outlets (e.g. Wirecutter) by surreptitiously injecting its affiliate code into transactions it didn’t actually generate.
