Workers are legally protected when they choose to organize for the improvement of working conditions, the petition reads.
OpenAI Brings Its Ass to Court
In, the company sought to show the jury a remarkable trophy as physical proof of Elon Musk's concerning behavior. Wednesday's episode of the trial kicked off on Wednesday with a unique proposition: OpenAI wanted to bring its ass into the courtroom, and lay it bare before the jury. It's a good thing lady justice wears that blindfold. A lawyer for Sam Altman's AI behemoth, Bradley Wilson, approached US district judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers and handed her a small gold statue with a white stone base. It depicted the rear end of a donkey--with two legs, a butt, and a tail--and was inscribed with the message, "Never stop being a jackass for safety."

Why autism pioneer Uta Frith wants to dismantle the spectrum
Uta Frith seems remarkably cheerful and content for someone who's spent six decades trying and failing to get to grips with her life's obsession. "Very little has stood the test of time," she tells me as we sit down in her living room in a leafy estate in Harrow-on-the-Hill, London. Around us, high-ceilinged walls papered in a luxurious red print are barely visible between rammed bookshelves, several model brains and a collection of abstract art. Frith has been searching for the mechanisms that underpin the enigmatic condition of autism ever since she first met profoundly autistic children in the late 1960s. "We could identify them intuitively, but not really scientifically - and I have to say that this is, unfortunately, still the case." Still, Frith's influence on our ever-shifting understanding of autism has been monumental.
