"Kali and Kalki: The Divine Battle of Endings and New Beginnings"

"Kali and Kalki: The Divine Battle of Endings and New Beginnings" In the grand tapestry of Hindu cosmology, the universe is divided into four epochs or Yugas—Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga. We are currently living in the Kali Yuga, the darkest and most challenging age, marked by moral decay, corruption, and spiritual degradation. But as per the ancient texts, there is hope, for this age will end with the arrival of Kalki, the tenth avatar of Lord Vishnu, who will restore dharma (righteousness) and bring a new age of truth and virtue. This blog explores the roles of Kali and Kalki in this cosmic drama, the nature of their conflict, and what it means for humanity and the world. To delve into this divine narrative, we need to understand not only the present times but also the great cosmic events that will shape the future. The Essence of Kali Yuga Kali Yuga, named after the demon Kali (not to be confused with Goddess Kali), is the last of the four Yugas. It

Sam Altman returns as CEO of OpenAI with Microsoft support

 


Sam Altman was fired as the CEO of OpenAI by the Board of Directors. In response, he fired the entire Board. However, just five days later, Altman was rehired as the CEO after a large number of OpenAI staff revolted and threatened to leave for Microsoft if he wasn't reinstated.

After firing Sam Altman, the Board had internal disagreements. Adam D'Angelo, a key member, changed his mind due to staff protests fearing a Microsoft takeover. On Tuesday night, Altman was reinstated as CEO with a new board that includes Bret Taylor, Larry Summers, and D'Angelo. Some who voted to fire Altman, like Ilya Sutskever, Helen Toner, and Tasha McCauley, are leaving. Altman's short-lived successor, Emmett Shear, is also departing.

The fight for control of OpenAI boiled down to two groups. One group, like many scientists, wanted to be careful with AI because they believe it poses a big risk to society. The other group, more focused on business, thinks these concerns are exaggerated and wants AI to develop without too many restrictions.

The split in OpenAI's board seemed to align with gender differences. Two women, Tasha McCauley and Helen Toner, who are linked to movements concerned about AI harming humanity, voted to oust Altman. There was also a behind-the-scenes clash between Google and Microsoft, led by Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella, both of Indian-American descent. Altman expressed gratitude to Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella for being reinstated.

"i love openai, and everything i’ve done over the past few days has been in service of keeping this team and its mission together. when i decided to join msft on sun evening, it was clear that was the best path for me and the team. with the new board and w satya’s support, i’m looking forward to returning to openai, and building on our strong partnership with msft." Sam Altman tweeted.

Nadella responded, "We are encouraged by the changes to the OpenAI board. We believe this is a first essential step on a path to more stable, well-informed, and effective governance. Sam, Greg, and I have talked and agreed they have a key role to play along with the OAI leadership team in ensuring OAI continues to thrive and build on its mission."

Microsoft has put over $11 billion into OpenAI and owns about 49% of the company, valued at $80 billion. By integrating OpenAI's main product, ChatGPT, into its search engine Bing, Microsoft is now able to compete with Google, which is the leader in the search industry.
