Microsoft and Apple Give Up OpenAI Observer Board Seats, AI Regulation Silliness, A Few Apple TV+ Observations

Today's Above Avalon Daily email contains the following stories:

  • Microsoft and Apple Give Up OpenAI Observer Board Seats

  • AI Regulation Silliness

  • A Few Apple TV+ Observations

We kick things off with my thoughts on changes to OpenAI’s non-voting observer board seats. The discussion then turns to why so much of these attempts to regulate AI come across as silly. We conclude with a few Apple TV+ observations that have been on my mind. “Dark Matter” became the latest Apple TV+ series to be placed on my watched list.
