OpenAI whistleblowers have asked the SEC to investigate alleged restrictive non-disclosure agreements, turning the spotlight on secret-keeping in Silicon Valley. It’s like a magician revealing all his tricks to the audience. These whistleblowers claim that OpenAI's NDAs are too restrictive, preventing employees from speaking out about potential issues. Will the SEC pull a rabbit out of the hat and launch an investigation? Stay tuned for the next episode of “Whistleblower Whodunit.”
SpaceX's Falcon 9 has been grounded after a failure doomed a batch of Starlink satellites, making it the rocket equivalent of a belly flop.

Elon Musk might need to call in his space janitors to clean up this cosmic mess.

Amazon must comply with a US agency’s pregnancy bias probe, proving that even the biggest online retailer can’t dodge scrutiny.

The investigation aims to address allegations of pregnancy discrimination, and Amazon will need to cooperate fully. Time to face the music, Amazon—this isn’t a problem you can ship back.
The reinstatement of net neutrality rules has been temporarily halted by a US appeals court, leaving the internet in a state of regulatory limbo. It’s like a rollercoaster ride that suddenly stops at the top. The halt has sparked debates about the future of internet regulation, with supporters and opponents gearing up for the next round. Buckle up; the net neutrality saga is far from over.
