Elon Musk’s revived lawsuit against OpenAI includes fresh allegations against the company and two of its founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. This new legal salvo comes after Musk withdrew a previous lawsuit in June.

The earlier suit had primarily focused on claims that OpenAI had breached its founding agreement to keep the company’s technology open source. The fresh complaint, however, takes a more aggressive stance.

Musk’s legal team alleges that Altman and Brockman “assiduously manipulated Musk into co-founding their spurious non-profit venture” by making promises about OpenAI’s safety and transparency that set it apart from profit-driven alternatives. The lawsuit goes so far as to claim that assurances about OpenAI’s nonprofit structure were “the hook for Altman’s long con.”

Most grocery store patrons take for granted just what it takes to transport a humble sweet potato out of the ground and into a shopping basket. The slightly-sweet red root vegetable can come in various sizes and flavor profiles but consumers have come to expect a level of consistency.

To meet that market demand, sweet potatoes are subjected to rounds of laborious and time-consuming quality assessments to root out undesirable batches that are either too firm, not sweet enough, or otherwise deemed unlikely to sell.

This process is currently performed methodically by humans in a lab, but a new study suggests hyperspectral cameras and AI could help speed up that process. Scientists used hyperspectral imaging to sort produce.
