OpenAI recruits Jony Ive to design AI hardware in $6.5 billion deal

OpenAI has recruited Jony Ive, the designer behind Apple's iPhone, to lead a new hardware project for the artificial intelligence company that makes ChatGPT. OpenAI said it is acquiring io, a product and engineering company co-founded by Ive, in a deal valued at nearly $6.5 billion. OpenAI said its CEO Sam Altman had been quietly collaborating since 2023 with Ive and his design firm, LoveFrom. Ive worked at Apple for over two decades and is known for his work on iconic iPhone, iMac and iPad designs. Ive was Apple's chief design officer before leaving the company in 2019 to start his own design firm.

Grok's focus on South Africa's racial politics 'unauthorised': Musk's xAI

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company said an unauthorised modification to its chatbot Grok was the reason why it kept talking about South African racial politics and the subject of white genocide on social media this week. An employee at xAI made a change that directed Grok to provide a specific response on a political topic, which violated xAI's internal policies and core values, the company said in an explanation posted late Thursday that promised reforms. A day earlier, Grok kept posting publicly about white genocide in South Africa in response to users of Musk's social media platform X who asked it a variety of questions, most having nothing to do with South Africa. One exchange was about streaming service Max reviving the HBO name. Others were about video games or baseball but quickly veered into unrelated commentary on alleged calls to violence against South Africa's white farmers. It was echoing views shared by Musk, who was born in South Africa and frequently opines o
