A HACKER STOLE OPENAI SECRETS, RAISING FEARS THAT CHINA COULD, TOO (8
MINUTE READ) [6]

A hacker gained access to OpenAI's internal messaging systems early
last year. They accessed details from discussions in an internal
online forum but did not get into the systems where the company houses
and builds its artificial intelligence. Details of the incident were
revealed to employees in April 2023. Executives decided not to share
the news publicly because no information about customers or partners
was stolen. It is believed that the hacker was a private individual
with no known ties to a foreign government. OpenAI did not inform the
FBI or anyone else in law enforcement about the incident.

APPLE M5 CHIP'S DUAL-USE DESIGN WILL POWER FUTURE MACS AND AI SERVERS
(1 MINUTE READ) [11]

Apple will reportedly use a more advanced System on Integrated Chip
(SoIC) technology for its M5 chips. SoIC technology allows for the
stacking of chips in a three-dimensional structure. It provides better electrical performance and thermal management compared to traditional two-dimensional chip designs. Apple intends to start mass producing
the chips in 2025 and 2026 for new Macs and AI cloud servers. The M5's
dual-use design is believed to be part of Apple's plans to vertically
integrate its supply chain for AI functionality across computers,
cloud servers, and software.

AGAINST INNOVATION TOKENS (21 MINUTE READ) [12]

The idea of using innovation tokens to identify which technologies
are innovative implies that everyone knows which technologies are
innovative. It also assumes that innovative technologies are
inherently costly and that their supply should be restricted. This
model is reactionary and borders on anti-intellectualism. It is better
to look at whether using a particular technology will introduce a
boundary between two different technologies with different conceptual
models.
