Yemen’s Houthi rebels reportedly have captured a British owned and Japanese operated, potentially Israeli ship in the Red Sea. The US Supreme Court has an ethics code of conduct now. During the week when CEO Sam Altman was removed from OpenAI and moved to Microsoft, here’s a how-to build an LLM via Hacker News. And ChatGPT has passed the legal ethics exam, of course.
