TechCrunchThis Week in AI: Can we (and could we ever) trust OpenAI?
This week in AI, OpenAI launched discounted plans for nonprofits and education customers and drew back the curtains on its most recent efforts to stop bad actors from abusing its AI tools. OpenAI removed one of the voices used by its AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT after users pointed out that it sounded eerily similar to Johansson's. Johansson later released a statement saying that she hired legal counsel to inquire about the voice and get exact details about how it was developed -- and that she'd refused repeated entreaties from OpenAI to license her voice for ChatGPT. Now, a piece in The Washington Post implies that OpenAI didn't in fact seek to clone Johansson's voice and that any similarities were accidental.

Startups Weekly: Musk raises $6B for AI and the fintech dominoes are falling
In a twist that shocks absolutely no one and thrills pyromaniacs who love seeing money burn, Elon Musk's newest venture, xAI, has snagged a casual $6 billion in funding. Valor, a16z, and Sequoia are stacking the money on the xAI-shaped roulette table, with Musk spinning the wheel. What makes this particularly nuts is that the $6 billion bonanza is just the latest chapter in Musk's epic saga of "how to get the world to fund my sci-fi fantasies."

Google admits its AI Overviews need work, but we're all helping it beta test
Google is embarrassed about its AI Overviews, too. Google -- a company whose name is synonymous with searching the web -- whose brand focuses on "organizing the world's information" and putting it at user's fingertips -- actually wrote in a blog post that "some odd, inaccurate or unhelpful AI Overviews certainly did show up." The admission of failure, penned by Google VP and Head of Search Liz Reid, seems a testimony as to how the drive to mash AI technology into everything has now somehow made Google Search worse.

Mill’s redesigned food waste bin really is faster and quieter than before
As before, the bin accepts a wide variety of food waste — only a handful of items like oyster shells are off limits — and grinds and dries it to a consistency that looks like chunky coffee grounds. Where the old bin worked as promised, it wasn’t always as quiet or fast as I would have liked, sometimes taking nearly a day to complete a cycle of drying and grinding the food.

Buying a rental car? Here's everything you need to know

Lately, large rental car agencies like Hertz have made major headlines as they thin out their fleet of electric cars, mostly Tesla Model 3 and Model Y EVs but also others from Chevrolet and sometimes Polestar.
