EXAMPLE
This Week with Reclaim’s Smart Calendar

That can’t be my calendar. How do I always feel so busy?

By overlapping multiple emails and integrating them into my Outlook Client I have a single source of truth.

Available on mobile, browser, and client I receive non-invasive recommendations, like taking time for decompression after a meeting.

Talk about work-life balance.

There is plenty of functionality you can take advantage of using the browser interface, and my personal favorite is the creation and tracking of habits. Never miss a day, a meeting, or a post from A Machine by setting aside time.

Are we missing the warning signs? What is going on, and what has been covered up? The timeline will shed some light on what has transpired in OpenAI, the masterminds behind ChatGPT, and the AI leaders of the world.

  • Nov 17, 2023: OpenAI announced CEO Sam Altman's departure, citing issues with his communication with the board, hindering their responsibilities.

  • Nov 18: Pressure from investors and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella for Altman's reinstatement, amidst speculations about a new AI venture by Altman and Brockman​​.

  • Nov 20: Altman and Brockman declare their decision to join Microsoft to lead a new AI initiative.

  • Nov 22: An agreement was reached for Altman's return to OpenAI as CEO, with a newly replaced board including Bret Taylor, Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo.

Here’s the kicker, Project Q* emerged in this fiasco as a significant artificial general intelligence (AGI) breakthrough, capable of advanced reasoning and problem-solving. Maybe not so coincidentally, just days before Sam Altman was fired, staff at OpenAI submitted a letter to the board about the potential threat of Q*.
