When B. Tiškevič was asked at the beginning of the conversation to share what she and her beloved Saulius experienced at the beginning of last year in Los Angeles, United States, when forest and bush fires raged, she said: “I was surprised that this realization – it comes gradually.You don’t immediately understand how serious this situation is.”
Experiences in the USA brought new colors to life
About her experiences in the USA, B. Tiškevič told the program in more detail. One thing really stuck with her for a long time – the diversity of everything.”At first, it’s very difficult to grasp that diversity, and then it starts to bring pleasure. I understand that if a man can go to work dressed in a dragon costume,then I can be all sorts of things too.America encouraged me to listen to myself even more, because in Lithuania, it seems to me, we live in a rather homogeneous society and we are all very similar to each other, we make very similar decisions, everything becomes uniform. <...>
Sometimes that’s good. simultaneously occurring,it sometimes takes away some of our self and authenticity. So, America says: well, open up – what is your self, what is your authenticity? Do anything, don’t match shoes to anything,” the woman said cheerfully.

What good is it for me to compare myself to the most gorgeous women? Why do I need to be the most beautiful? What do I gain from it? I have a wonderful life, a husband who loves me, I have beloved activities, I have friends, I enjoy sports.

Sam Altman was briefly ousted as CEO of OpenAI in November 2023, sparking a period of intense uncertainty before being reinstated days later.

OpenAI and Sam Altman: The Initial Removal

Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati was appointed interim CEO. The board stated it no longer had confidence in Altman’s ability to lead OpenAI, though specific details of the disagreements where initially scarce.
this decision followed internal discussions about the pace of AI development and the potential for AGI to pose existential risks. some board members reportedly expressed concerns that Altman was prioritizing commercialization over safety.
Example: The initial announcement was made via a blog post on OpenAI’s website, which briefly outlined the board’s decision without providing extensive details.
The Reinstatement and Microsoft’s Role
Following Altman’s removal, Microsoft, a major investor in OpenAI, quickly moved to secure his position and that of Greg Brockman, who had resigned from the board in protest. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced that altman and Brockman would join Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team.
This move put significant pressure on OpenAI’s board to reinstate Altman. Over the weekend of November 18-19, 2023, negotiations took place, ultimately leading to Altman’s return as CEO on November 22, 2023. greg Brockman also returned to OpenAI. as part of the agreement, a new initial board was formed, including Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo (the only remaining member of the previous board).

The changes included establishing a clear process for board member selection and removal, and increasing openness in decision-making.
