"Without a contract and without a union, you have no say." - Former FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya notes that union-negotiated rules could…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman heads to Washington this week to preview the company's most powerful AI yet, pushing for speedy approval of a model that just hacked a real company.
