Oh honey, this is a hot vegan mess! Matthew Kenney out here living life like he's in a real-life game of Monopoly, bouncing checks and burning bridges faster than you can say "seitan". And still, he's got investors falling over themselves to back him? It's like watching a car crash in slow motion, but the car is a fancy organic food truck. Don't get me wrong, I love a good vegan risotto as much as the next person, but not when it's served with a side of sketchy business practices and a garnish of harassment allegations. New ventures? Honey, how about some new ethics? The only thing plant-based here is the growing pile of legal disputes!

This Medium.com page contains an article by John B. Dutton titled "Sam Altman’s $7 trillion poker face." The article discusses OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's proposal to raise up to $7 trillion to enhance global chip-building capacity. According to Altman, this substantial investment is necessary for training and powering future versions of large language models (LLMs) and other machine-learning platforms and products. The article draws an analogy between Altman's proposed investment and a poker game where the CEO is potentially bluffing. Dutton also includes thoughts from historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari, who warns of the dangers of focusing solely on AI development without understanding human consciousness. The page also features links to other articles, author information, and the option to upgrade to a paid Medium membership for full access to all stories.

This New York Times article discusses the instance where Charlotte Cowles, a columnist for New York magazine, became a victim of a $50,000 scam. The scammers impersonated Amazon and government agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). They fabricated a story of identity theft, leading Cowles to withdraw $50,000 from her bank under the guise of safeguarding her assets. The article attempts to clarify what each of these entities would do in case of actual identity theft by reaching out to each one. Amazon confirmed they would not transfer customers to any government agency, and if customers receive a suspicious call, they should disconnect and contact Amazon directly through the app or website. The FTC affirmed that their staff would never provide badge numbers or ask for personal financial details. A CIA spokesperson stated that their organization does not handle such matters, as they are not a law enforcement agency. The article also touches on the role of banks in such situations, with the author noting that the Bank of America allowed Cowles to withdraw a large amount of cash without hindrance, though they provided a warning about scams. The bank declined to comment further on their policy regarding large cash withdrawals. The piece concludes by talking about the psychological manipulation scammers employ and the need for people to trust their instincts in suspicious situations.
