Suchir Balaji, a former OpenAI engineer and whistleblower who helped train the artificial intelligence systems behind ChatGPT and later said he believed those practices violated copyright law, has died, according to his parents and San Francisco officials. He was 26. Balaji worked at OpenAI for nearly four years before quitting in August. He was well-regarded by colleagues at the San Francisco company, where a co-founder this week called him one of OpenAI's strongest contributors who was essential to developing some of its products. “We are devastated to learn of this incredibly sad news and our hearts go out to Suchir’s loved ones during this difficult time,” said a statement from OpenAI. Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on Nov. 26 in what police said “appeared to be a suicide. No evidence of foul play was found during the initial investigation.” The city's chief medical examiner's office confirmed the manner of death to be suicide. His parents Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy said they are still seeking answers, describing their son as a “happy, smart and brave young man” who loved to hike and recently returned from a trip with friends. Balaji grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and first arrived at the fledgling AI research lab for a 2018 summer internship while studying computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. He returned a few years later to work at OpenAI, where one of his first projects, called WebGPT, helped pave the way for ChatGPT. “Suchir’s contributions to this project were essential, and it wouldn’t have succeeded without him,” said OpenAI co-founder John Schulman in a social media post memorializing Balaji. Schulman, who recruited Balaji to his team, said what made him such an exceptional engineer and scientist was his attention to detail and ability to notice subtle bugs or logical errors. “He had a knack for finding simple solutions and writing elegant code that worked,” Schulman wrote. “He’d think through the details of things carefully and rigorously.” Balaji later shifted to organizing the huge datasets of online writings and other media used to train GPT-4, the fourth generation of OpenAI's flagship large language model and a basis for the company's famous chatbot. It was that work that eventually caused Balaji to question the technology he helped build, especially after newspapers, novelists and others began suing OpenAI and other AI companies for copyright infringement. He first raised his concerns with The New York Times, which reported them in an October profile of Balaji . He later told The Associated Press he would “try to testify” in the strongest copyright infringement cases and considered a lawsuit brought by The New York Times last year to be the “most serious.” Times lawyers named him in a Nov. 18 court filing as someone who might have “unique and relevant documents” supporting allegations of OpenAI's willful copyright infringement. His records were also sought by lawyers in a separate case brought by book authors including the comedian Sarah Silverman, according to a court filing. “It doesn’t feel right to be training on people’s data and then competing with them in the marketplace,” Balaji told the AP in late October. “I don’t think you should be able to do that. I don’t think you are able to do that legally.” He told the AP that he gradually grew more disillusioned with OpenAI, especially after the internal turmoil that led its board of directors to fire and then rehire CEO Sam Altman last year. Balaji said he was broadly concerned about how its commercial products were rolling out, including their propensity for spouting false information known as hallucinations. But of the “bag of issues” he was concerned about, he said he was focusing on copyright as the one it was “actually possible to do something about.” He acknowledged that it was an unpopular opinion within the AI research community, which is accustomed to pulling data from the internet, but said “they will have to change and it’s a matter of time.” He had not been deposed and it’s unclear to what extent his revelations will be admitted as evidence in any legal cases after his death. He also published a personal blog post with his opinions about the topic. Schulman, who resigned from OpenAI in August, said he and Balaji coincidentally left on the same day and celebrated with fellow colleagues that night with dinner and drinks at a San Francisco bar. Another of Balaji’s mentors, co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, had left OpenAI several months earlier , which Balaji saw as another impetus to leave. Schulman said Balaji had told him earlier this year of his plans to leave OpenAI and that Balaji didn't think that better-than-human AI known as artificial general intelligence “was right around the corner, like the rest of the company seemed to believe.” The younger engineer expressed interest in getting a doctorate and exploring “some more off-the-beaten path ideas about how to build intelligence,” Schulman said. Balaji's family said a memorial is being planned for later this month at the India Community Center in Milpitas, California, not far from his hometown of Cupertino. —————- EDITOR’S NOTE — This story includes discussion of suicide.

DAMASCUS (AP) — Exuberant Syrians observed the first Friday prayers since the ouster of President Bashar Assad , gathering in the capital's historic main mosque, its largest square and around the country to celebrate the end of half a century of authoritarian rule. The newly installed interim prime minister delivered the sermon at the Umayyad Mosque, declaring that a new era of “freedom, dignity and justice” was dawning for Syria. The gatherings illustrated the dramatic changes that have swept over Syria less than a week after insurgents marched into Damascus and toppled Assad. Amid the jubilation, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with allies around the region and called for an “inclusive and non-sectarian” interim government. Blinken arrived in Iraq on a previously unannounced stop after talks in Jordan and Turkey, which backs some of the Syrian insurgent factions. So far, U.S. officials have not talked of direct meetings with Syria's new rulers. The main insurgent force, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has worked to establish security and start a political transition after seizing Damascus early Sunday. The group has tried to reassure a public both stunned by Assad's fall and concerned about extremist jihadis among the rebels. Insurgent leaders say the group has broken with its extremist past, though HTS is still labeled a terrorist group by the United States and European countries. HTS's leader, Ahmad al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani, appeared in a video message Friday congratulating “the great Syrian people for the victory of the blessed revolution.” “I invite them to head to the squares to show their happiness without shooting bullets and scaring people,” he said. “And then after, we will work to build this country, and as I said in the beginning, we will be victorious by the help of God.” Huge crowds, including some insurgents, packed the historic Umayyad Mosque in the capital's old city, many waving the rebel opposition flag — with its three red stars — which has swiftly replaced the Assad-era flag with with its two green stars. Syrian state television reported that the sermon was delivered by Mohammed al-Bashir, the interim prime minister installed by HTS this week. The scene resonated on multiple levels. The mosque, one of the world's oldest dating back some 1,200 years, is a beloved symbol of Syria, and sermons there like all mosque sermons across Syria were tightly controlled under Assad's rule. Also, in the early days of the anti-government uprising in 2011, protesters would leave Friday prayers to march in rallies against Assad before he launched a brutal crackdown that turned the uprising into a long and bloody civil war. “I didn’t step foot in Umayyad Mosque since 2011," because of the tight security controls around it, said one worshipper, Ibrahim al-Araby. “Since 11 or 12 years, I haven’t been this happy.” Another worshipper, Khair Taha, said there was “fear and trepidation for what’s to come. But there is also a lot of hope that now we have a say and we can try to build.” Blocks away in Damascus' biggest roundabout, named Umayyad Square, thousands gathered, including many families with small children — a sign of how, so far at least, the country's transformation has not caused violent instability. “Unified Syria to build Syria,” the crowd chanted. Some shouted slurs against Assad and his late father, calling them pigs, an insult that would have previously led to offenders being hauled off to one of the feared detention centers of Assad’s security forces. One man in the crowd, 51-year-old Khaled Abu Chahine — originally from the southern province of Daraa, where the 2011 uprising first erupted — said he hoped for “freedom and coexistence between all Syrians, Alawites, Sunnis, Shiites and Druze.” The interim prime minister, al-Bashir, had been the head of a de facto administration created by HTS in Idlib, the opposition's enclave in northwest Syria. The rebels were bottled up in Idlib for years before fighters broke out in a shock offensive and marched across Syria in 10 days. Similar scenes of joy unfolded in other major cities, including in Aleppo, Homs, Hama, Latakia and Raqqa. Al-Sharaa, HTS' leader, has promised to bring a pluralistic government to Syria, seeking to dispel fears among many Syrians — especially its many minority communities — that the insurgents will impose a hard-line, extremist rule. Another key factor will be winning international recognition for a new government in a country where multiple foreign powers have their hands in the mix. The Sunni Arab insurgents who overthrew Assad did so with vital help from Turkey, a longtime foe of the U.S.-backed Kurds . Turkey controls a strip of Syrian territory along the shared border and backs an insurgent faction uneasily allied to HTS — and is deeply opposed to any gains by Syria's Kurds. In other developments, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Turkey’s Embassy in Damascus would reopen Saturday for the first time since 2012, when it closed due to the Syrian civil war. The U.S. has troops in eastern Syria to combat remnants of the Islamic State group and supports Kurdish-led fighters who rule most of the east. Since Assad's fall, Israel has bombed sites all over Syria, saying it is trying to prevent weapons from falling into extremist hands. It has also seized a swath of southern Syria along the border with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, calling it a buffer zone. After talks with Fidan, Blinken said there was “broad agreement” between Turkey and the U.S. on what they would like to see in Syria. That starts with an "interim government in Syria, one that is inclusive and non-sectarian and one that protects the rights of minorities and women” and does not “pose any kind of threat to any of Syria’s neighbors,” Blinken said. Fidan said the priority was “establishing stability in Syria as soon as possible, preventing terrorism from gaining ground, and ensuring that IS and the PKK aren’t dominant” — referring to the Islamic State group and the Kurdistan Workers Party. Ankara considers the PKK within Turkey's borders a terrorist group, as it does the Kurdish-backed forces in Syria backed by the U.S. A U.S. official said that in Ankara, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Fidan both told Blinken that Kurdish attacks on Turkish positions would require a response. The official spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity to discuss private diplomatic talks. The U.S. has been trying to limit such incidents in recent days and had helped organize an agreement to prevent confrontations around the northern Syrian town of Manbij, which was taken by Turkey-backed opposition fighters from the U.S.-backed Kurdish forces earlier this week. In Baghdad, Blinken met with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed al-Sudani, saying both countries wanted to ensure the Islamic State group — also known by its Arabic acronym Daesh — doesn't exploit Syria's transition to re-emerge. “Having put Daesh back in its box, we can’t let it out, and we’re determined to make sure that that doesn’t happen," Blinken said. The U.S. official who briefed reporters said that Blinken had impressed upon al-Sudani the importance of Iraq exercising its full sovereignty over its territory and airspace to stop Iran from transporting weapons and equipment to Syria, either for Assad supporters or onward to the militant Hezbollah group in Lebanon.

Vikings waive former starting cornerback Akayleb Evans in another blow to 2022 draft classIt’s a huge job raising young kids today, but with the rise of the 'your body, my choice' rhetoric, some of us might be wondering what we can do to raise boys who go on to become healthy, thriving men. According to recent analysis there was a 4,600 per cent increase in mentions of the trending phrase on X and a similar spike in calls to "get back in the kitchen", all within 24 hours after Donald Trump's win. While some studies link the way we raise our children to future mental health outcomes – particularly when childhood abuse or neglect is involved – it's difficult to prove that raising boys in a positive, healthy way will guarantee they won't become violent, explains Deanne Carson, CEO of Body Safety Australia. Zac Seidler, the global director of research at mental health organisation Movember, says research on outcomes for boys is scant, because "cultural narratives are typically geared towards looking out for risk, rather than exploring what helps [boys and men] thrive". But we know from recent data that almost 40 per cent of young men today feel pressured to conform to certain rules, such as acting strong or fighting back in order to behave like a 'real man'. Thirty-four per cent feel society expects them to 'use violence to get respect if necessary'. So what's the good news? Well, there are things we can do as parents and adults to nurture little boys in our lives and help them recognise toxic attitudes they'll be exposed to, particularly on social media. "We see children in their joy and their generosity and their kindness. I think that if we can be deliberate in retaining those qualities in children as they grow, we can really inoculate them against some of the negative messaging as they get older," Ms Carson says. We spoke to three experts to find out what some of the most powerful things we can do as parents, carers, grandparents and educators are for young boys today. Here are four of the big ones. Understand what typical boy behaviours are – and don't try to fix them all Ms Carson says it's developmentally normal for young boys to hit out in frustration, be more physical on the playground or to have poor impulse control. But if we help them understand "other people's bodies belong to them" and it's ok if they don't get their way, they will become more confident. "We're really giving them skills that they'll need for their relationships when they're older," she says. Dr Seidler says there's a huge role parents can play in shaping what matters to young boys, without telling them how they should act. He says young boys' "rambunctious" behaviour and the way they interact with peers often leads to "tenderness and intimacy". It's vital we find a way to understand it. Dr Billy Garvey, a senior developmental paediatrician and founder of Guiding Growing Minds, agrees. He says instead of aiming for compliance, we should be aiming to form healthy relationships. That includes modelling what healthy intimacy and affection is in relationships with our partner, family and friends. "We know the adult mental illness rates are horrific and that multi-generational trauma and cycling is really hard to break, but it is breakable, and that's the beautiful thing," he says. Emotions are healthy – support them (and look after yourself, too!) It's easy to get frustrated and angry with our kids for having a tantrum, talking back to us and displaying a range of emotions. Finding our own calm before supporting our kids is the first step, says Dr Garvey. Otherwise, we're "adding fuel to the fire". "If we can show them that unconditional love and support exists and we will face things together with them, then they become adults that expect that from their relationships — and also give that to the ones that they're a part of," he says. Boys often don't talk about their feelings and they push down challenging emotions, Dr Garvey says. When they do express themselves, they're often told that "boys don't cry" or they're "being a girl". Ms Carson says we all have internalised messaging we perpetuate in our parenting, but by stopping and admitting when we're at fault, we can make a big difference. "Coming back to the conversation with your child is really, really important, even if it means apologising to them and saying, 'I'm sorry. I said don't be a girl. Stop crying. But actually, that was the wrong message to give you. And I could see that you're upset, and I'm here to talk about it'," Ms Carson says. And as Dr Seidler explains, choosing the right moment to talk to your boy can make a big difference. "The time to sit down and have a discussion with your six-year-old boy is not when he's at his highest intensity, it's finding ways with him in those quieter moments to work out what it is that he requires," he says. Spend screen time together — and share ideas As Ms Carson says, we're never going to be completely ahead of everything that comes up in the social media cycle, but the best thing we can do as parents of early childhood and primary school boys is ensure they can recognise toxic attitudes in the media they consume. "It can be so tempting to give them an iPad to let them watch their programs, but actually sit down and watch Bluey with them and tell them why the values in Bluey match your family values, or if you're watching a movie or a TV show and something does stand out to you as being a bit sexist or racist, actually explain that. Don't be afraid of these hard conversations," she explains. "If you think that these issues are teenage issues, they're not. Please talk to your children. And I think nine to 12 is the sweet spot to do that." Dr Seidler agrees. He says asking lots of questions is a great way to engage them in healthy conversations, but you need to "park your own biases and emotions" and aim for "openness, curiosity, and your own discomfort". He wants us to ask our boys the following questions: "What are you watching? Why are you watching it? What does it make you feel? What do you like about it? Is there anything you don't like about it?" Build up their sense of self-worth This is a big one, Dr Garvey explains. He says the most important thing we can do as parents is "celebrate" our kids. "I think that we get caught in these cycles of we've just got to get through the day and you've got to do your homework ... But none of us have kids for that reason. We have them because we want to give someone this beautiful life," he says. "They have a voice, they can disagree, they can have a say, and that's from toddlers to teens." Ms Carson says building "really strong self-worth, right from birth" is not about ego. "I'm not talking about telling little boys how great they are, or how strong they are, or how handsome they are, I'm talking about really helping them understand their value as a human being, so that as they face adversity, as they get older, they're not externalising. They're not looking for someone to blame. They're not looking to blame feminism for all of the problems that they face." Dr Seidler says little boys are simply good men waiting to flourish, and we need to offer them the space, love and warmth to do that. "Offer them the skill set to practice all of these different things. Do not box them in. Fundamentally, that is the way to success," he says. ABC

Amazon is doubling its investment in Anthropic to $8 billion in a deepened collaboration on artificial intelligence, the companies said Friday. The e-commerce and technology behemoth will remain a minority investor in Anthropic, having pumped an initial $4 billion into the artificial intelligence developer late last year and becoming its primary cloud computing provider. "The response from AWS customers who are developing generative AI applications powered by Anthropic in Amazon Bedrock has been remarkable," said Matt Garman, chief of AWS cloud computing division. "We'll keep pushing the boundaries of what customers can achieve with generative AI technologies." Amazon is investing the additional $4 billion in Anthropic as part of an expanded alliance that includes working together on "Trainium" hardware to optimize machine learning, according to the companies. "We're looking forward to working with Amazon to train and power our most advanced AI models using AWS Trainium, and helping to unlock the full potential of their technology," said Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei. More from this section The announcement came just days after Britain's competition regulator cleared Google-parent Alphabet's investment in Anthropic, following a probe. The Competition and Markets Authority concluded that the big tech giant had not acquired "material influence" over Anthropic as a result of the deal, which was reported to have cost $2 billion. The British regulator is one of several global regulators concerned with reining in big tech companies and their partnerships with AI firms. In September, the CMA cleared Amazon's initial investment in Anthropic, saying it did not believe that "a relevant merger situation has been created." gc/mlmTesla Afterhours!
