The chapter delves into the evolving control dynamics at OpenAI, focusing on AI alignment challenges and leadership priorities. It also touches on the struggles faced by auto workers in the South regarding unionization efforts, specifically at Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen. Additionally, it discusses the resolution between Uber, Lyft, and Minneapolis over a minimum wage law for rideshare drivers, examining the negotiation power of these companies.

This time, the team wanting long-term AI safety said, “We out.” Then, the UAW’s campaign to unionize the South hits a roadblock with Mercedes-Benz in Alabama voting against unionizing. Plus, Minnesota reaches a minimum driver pay with Uber and Lyft. Also, Manchester City and Blue Origin are this past weekend’s winners. Meanwhile, the popularity of THC-infused drinks is starting a turf war between the cannabis and alcohol industries. Next, sunscreens in the US are far behind the rest of the world…what’s up?
