(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people. OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity.

South Korea transferred 500,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition to the U.S. in 2023 to replenish stocks depleted by security assistance to Ukraine. Poland, a critical frontline state, relies heavily on Korean hardware for its military procurement: look up where the chassis in the Krab self-propelled howitzer — another ornament of Ukrainian security assistance— comes from. Seoul has done quite a lot.

Reporter: Deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure violate the Geneva conventions and international law.  Trump: Who are you with?  Reporter: I'm with the New York Times Trump: Failing New York Times. Circulation is way down. Reporter: Are you concerned that your threat to bomb power plants and bridges amount to war crimes? Trump: No, not at all. These are disturbed people. Quiet.
