Apple has introduced a new security mode called Stolen Device Protection for iPhones. This feature adds a layer of security to safeguard against theft or attacks where the user’s private passcode is compromised. Stolen Device Protection requires the use of FaceID facial recognition along with a passcode for sensitive actions when the user’s phone is not at home or work. Its goal is to prevent attackers from using the stolen passcode to disable theft protections or gain access to sensitive information. How does the combination of FaceID facial recognition and passcode enhance the security of iPhones in the Stolen Device Protection mode? Why must Apple introduce additional security measures like Stolen Device Protection to protect user data and mitigate evolving threats?

According to private investors, OpenAI is currently valued at an impressive $86 billion. In 2022, OpenAI’s nonprofit parent entity generated $44,485 in revenue, as reported in their IRS filing. However, the financial details of OpenAI’s for-profit division, responsible for commercializing ChatGPT, were not disclosed in the filing. It is important to note that audited financial statements are not required for nonprofits, which contributes to the limited transparency regarding OpenAI’s financials.Interestingly, OpenAI’s revenue in 2017 was significantly higher at $33.2 million compared to the reported revenue for 2022. The organization faced leadership challenges when the board fired CEO Sam Altman but later reinstated due to pressure from employees and investors. This upheaval has raised questions about OpenAI’s nonprofit status, and there is speculation that they may consider transitioning into a startup and giving up their nonprofit classification. How does the lack of audited financial statements impact our understanding of OpenAI’s revenue and financial stability as a nonprofit entity? What are the potential benefits and drawbacks for OpenAI in continuing as a nonprofit versus transitioning into a startup?
