Microsoft has hired OpenAI co-founder and former chief executive Sam Altman just days after he was ousted from his company. Mr Altman was fired on Friday, less than a year after launching the hugely successful AI chatbot ChatGPT, with OpenAI’s board saying it “no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI”. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was reportedly “furious” about being blindsided by Mr Altman’s firing, despite the tech giant being a key investor of the artificial intelligence firm. On Monday, Mr Nadella announced that both Mr Altman and fellow OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman would be joining his company. “We’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team,” Mr Nadella wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.” Mr Altman replied to the post: “The mission continues.” Mr Altman had previously posted a picture of himself wearing an OpenAI guest pass over the weekend, together with the caption: “First and last time I ever wear one of these.” Mr Nadella followed up his original post on X with further details about what Mr Altman’s new role might be within the company. “I’m super excited to have you join as CEO of this new group, Sam, setting a new pace for innovation,” he wrote. “We’ve learned a lot over the years about how to give founders and innovators space to build independent identities and cultures within Microsoft, including GitHub, Mojang Studios, and LinkedIn, and I’m looking forward to having you do the same.” Read More OpenAI in talks to bring Sam Altman back days after CEO ouster, reports say OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman ousted as CEO ChatGPT Plus stops signups after major update ChatGPT creator mocks Elon Musk in brutal tweet ChatGPT goes offline ChatGPT update allows anyone to make their own personalised AI assistant

Months of speculation over Kanye West’s relationship status have been put to bed thanks to a fruitlessly flirtatious TikTok encounter. A content creator called Nue filmed himself having a conversation with a “sexy” bleach-blonde woman while out shopping. He wrapped up their encounter by asking for her number, to which she replied: “I’m married!” This may sound like a pretty conclusive end to the story, but it was only the beginning of a social media feeding frenzy. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter You see, the woman turned out to be none other than Ye’s latest love interest Bianca Censori. @gratefulboynuee Yea Married To Kanye ? #fyp #omg #beauty #ye #foryou #rizz #famous #trending Censori, 28, is the head of architecture for the Yeezy brand and has been linked to the disgraced rapper since January. Sources told DailyMail.com at the time that Kanye, 45, had secretly married the model and designer in an intimate ceremony. And an insider told The US Sun that they’d exchanged vows at the $5,000-a-night Amangiri Resort in Utah. However, the paper confirmed that the pair hadn’t registered for a marriage licence in the state. It is still not known whether or not the couple secured the necessary paperwork to make their union legally binding. The rumoured knot-tying came just two months after the ‘Gold Digger’ singer finalised his divorce from Kim Kardashian, with whom he has four children. It also came as Ye single-handedly destroyed his own career and reputation via a string of anti-Semitic tirades. All we can confidently say at this stage is that Censori considers herself to be off the market, and no, she won’t give her number out to smooth-talking strangers.
