OpenAI is now set to become a Public Benefit Corporation, with its investors entitled to uncapped profit shares. Its nonprofit foundation will retain some measure of control and a 26% financial stake, in sharp contrast to its previous stronger control and much, much larger effective financial stake.

For most of the year, my dad was a mild-mannered banker, avid bowler, and frustrated architect. But, in October, he transformed himself into "The Count" and used his design skills to build out one of the most popular haunted houses in Chicago for over twenty years. A steady cast of werewolves, Frankenstein's monster, creepy cavemen, and assorted ghouls and goblins waited in the darkness to scare the crap out of people. In this episode, I have an exclusive conversation with one of the "original

Considering this CV, the announcement that Thiel would give a series of four lectures on the AntiChrist was puzzling. Why would a tech-bro with a

Send us a text Fr. Chris Myers walks us through the habits of becoming faithful listeners as a means of enhancing our faith lives and prayer experiences. In a society riddled with information overload presented through constant stimuli, we are reminded of the need to seek solitude and simply listen, using each of our senses.

Our cohosts' begin with Plato, then try to anticipate what Aristotle might have said about comedy (it would not have been

Halloween ha le sue origini nel festival celtico chiamato Samhain, che si celebrava oltre 2.000 anni fa in quello che oggi è l'Irlanda. Per i Celti, Samhain segnava la fine dell'anno agricolo, l'inizio del nuovo anno e l'inizio dell'inverno, che rappresentava la parte oscura dell'anno.Era celebrato la notte del 31 ottobre e simboleggiava il momento in cui il confine tra il mondo dei vivi e quello dei morti si assottigliava, permettendo agli spiriti di tornare sulla Terra.Durante Samhain, i Celti
