Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announces that ousted OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will join Microsoft to head a new AI research unit, with the possibility of OpenAI going forward as an independent company if the board resigns. OpenAI employees show support for Altman and former board chair Greg Brockman, rejecting offers from rival tech companies attempting to poach talent. Uncertainty remains for developers dependent on OpenAI's technology, but whether Altman and his team return to OpenAI or join Microsoft, the AI landscape is unlikely to drastically change. A deal between Israel and Hamas for the release of hostages and a multi-day ceasefire is expected to be announced soon, marking a significant diplomatic breakthrough.
