NORTH CAROLINA, (WAVY) — Dominion Energy North Carolina is proposing two rate changes for its customers.

The first change would come in the form of a $19 increase in monthly bills. Dominion Energy said the increase would support investments in grid reliability, clean energy and an improved customer experience.

Later this year, the company expects a substantial decrease in its fuel rate that it says will offset the base rate increase.

According to Dominion Energy, both changes would result in about a $4 decrease in monthly bills for North Carolina residents.

These proposed changes require approval by the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC).

It was surprising because unlike in many other fields, venture capitalists don't traditionally move around very much — especially those who reach the partner or general partner level as Rabois had.

ChatGPT's new face is a black hole
OpenAI just announced a few updates to its flagship conversational AI model, ChatGPT, and among them is a new app and interface, starring the system's new user-facing personality: a giant black dot. Onstage at the OpenAI Spring Event, CTO Mira Murati alluded to the changes: "We know that these models get more and more complex, but we want the experience of interaction to actually become more natural, easy, and for you not to focus on the UI at all." In one sense it is a positive and decisive change, a nod to the minimalism Apple once embraced.
