Show Notes
SOXL slipped 0.87% to $141.28 as chip-specific weakness continued, even while QQQ, VGT, and VUG each posted modest gains on the day. • OpenAI fired three safety researchers amid a public dispute, with departing staff warning of a 'chilling effect' on internal dissent — the sharpest escalation yet of the lab's safety-culture crisis. • Interview Tip: Senior ML candidates should walk interviewers through a shipped model end-to-end — architecture choices, metric tradeoffs, failures, and what they'd do differently — to show judgment, not just results. • Did You Know: Smart fridge cameras can now show you what's inside your fridge while you're at the supermarket and suggest a recipe from what's left — a genuinely useful IoT idea with one key gotcha. • The OpenAI safety firings raise urgent questions about how the world's most influential AI lab governs itself as it races toward more powerful systems.
