The group aimed to stop OpenAI's shift towards becoming a for-profit entity, which Musk and others feared would compromise its original mission. However, OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, rejected the offer, asserting that the company is not for sale. In response, Altman also suggested buying Twitter for $9.74 billion.

MIGRAIN: Narrative

  Read   Media Factsheet 14 - Telling Stories: The Media's Use of Narrative   and answer the following questions: 1) Give an example from film or television that uses Todorov's narrative structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium and new equilibrium.  The equilibrium introduces the four boys playing inside a suburban family home - identifying the social norms suggested by the narrative. This sequence focuses on the idea of the nuclear family living in a suburban home as the norm, with responsible parents caring for their children.

Advertising: Postcolonialism

Read ‘The Theory Drop: Postcolonialism and Paul Gilroy’ in MM75 (p28). You'll find our Media Magazine archive here - remember you'll need your Greenford Google login to access. Answer the following questions on your blog: 1) Look at the first page. What is colonialism - also known as cultural imperialism? The belief that native people were intellectually inferior, and that white colonisers had a moral right to subjugate the local populace as they were ‘civilising’ them: in other words, trying to make them more like Western European society. This was how they justified their actions, while all the time stealing their resources and, in some cases, people to be sold into slavery. 2) Now look at the second page. What is postcolonialism? Postcolonialism, like postmodernism, refers less to a time period and more to a critiquing of a school of thought that came before it. Postcolonialism exists to question white patriarchal views with a particular reference to how they relate to race...
