I’ve been watching European regulators focus on OpenAI with particular interest — and not just because it’s one of the clearest test cases for how governments regulate fast-moving AI. When you use ChatGPT, DALL·E, or other AI-powered features...
I’ve been following the slow-burning but increasingly visible tide of union activity at Amazon warehouses for years. After the surprise victory in Bessemer, Alabama in 2021 — which was later overturned — and the shock win in Staten Island in...
