A spokesperson told Fortune only that the company is “focused on building AI that benefits everyone” and that “non-profit is core to[the company’s]mission and will remain.”OpenAI started as a nonprofit that relied…

And seven months after the launch of Apple’s Vision Pro, which coincided with a…
Marvel’s announcement of the upcoming Rogue: Savage Land may feel like a callback to a “controversial” moment for some. Written by hack/slash creator Tim Seeley and once again teaming up with HEXWARE artist and Disneyland Paris 2024 Marvel Art Atelier winner Zulema Ravina, the pair will depict what happened to Rogue while surviving without her powers in the Savage Land. Of course, this is based on Chris Claremont’s Uncanny X-Men #269 and #274-275, and of course the highly evocative image of Savage Land Rogue drawn by Jim Lee. The assumptions are: The X-Man known as Rogue has always survived, but…
Image Comics has been practicing the art of teasers lately, and yesterday they released a pretty sweet teaser that hints at Grant Morrison’s return to the comics world. Morrison has been basking in his comic book glory since returning to writing after wrapping up his Green Lantern serial in 2021. After all, as the now 64-year-old MBE told me in 2016, “I don’t have anything left. The truth is, I don’t have any dream projects right now.” They’ve also been entertaining people with stories from the Substack vaults for a while now. But as the teaser suggests, there may be…
Once you’ve decided which Apple iPad you want, the next step is finding the right accessories. For getting work done, you’ll likely want a mouse and keyboard. For drawing and note-taking, a stylus is the obvious choice, but we also recommend a paper-like screen protector for added texture. Power banks let you recharge your slate whenever you need to and a hub helps you get the most out of your iPad’s processing power with connections for wired peripherals. After testing (and owning) iPads over the years, we’ve singled out a dozen-plus accessories that help expand what Apple’s tablets can do.Which…
