📝 Microsoft leaves OpenAI board

News of the Day
Microsoft has vacated its non-voting observer seat on OpenAI’s board, citing confidence in the AI company's progress and direction. OpenAI confirmed there will be no more board observers, likely dismissing reports of Apple gaining a similar position. Despite this change, Microsoft remains a key partner with a 49% stake in OpenAI following a nearly $13 billion investment. This move comes amidst antitrust scrutiny from the EU, which cautioned against large tech companies gaining controlling influence over emerging AI players.

it is astounding to me that in 2024 most CRMS are not connected fully to email. In Hubspot I only see emails that originated from Hubspot. But my gmail is connected, why don't they have them all?
Stupid.

This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies
Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.
That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.
Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.
We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.
