Quick Glance: OpenAI appoints new board members, reinstates CEO Sam Altman
- Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is rejoining the company's board of directors.
- Joining alongside him are three new members, including former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Sue Desmond-Hellmann, ex-Sony Entertainment president Nicole Seligman, and Instacart CEO Fidji Simo - expanding OpenAI's board to seven people.
- The appointment of the four new board members - and the reinstatement of Altman - comes after OpenAI faced criticism for its all-male board makeup and the nomination of Summers, who made derogatory remarks about women.
- OpenAI's expanded board is certainly diverse - at least in terms of their backgrounds.

Quick Glance: Judge's Approval of Trump's $91 Million Bond
- A federal judge signed off on former President Trump’s approximately $91 million appeal bond in advice columnist E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit on Tuesday.
- Carroll did not oppose Trump’s bond application after his lawyers agreed to make one change to the conditions.
- The approval of Trump’s bond by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the litigation, allows the former president to continue fighting his staggering defamation judgment and prevents Carroll from taking steps to enforce it.
- It is indicated indirectly that the major insurance company Chubb underwrote Trump’s bond, but it remains unclear what cash or collateral the former president was required to put down.

Quick Glance: Fl. Law 'Stop Woke Act' Blocked by Court Decision
- A federal appeals court decision on Monday prevented the enforcement of a law in Florida, supported by Governor Ron DeSantis, that limits how private companies can teach diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

- Julia Friedland, a spokeswoman for DeSantis, stated in a release on Tuesday that the governor's office is 'considering all options for future appeals.'
- The 'Stop Woke Act' was passed in March 2022 by the Republican-controlled Florida legislature and was a key priority for DeSantis, who labeled it as the 'Individual Freedom Measure.'
