We got OpenAI's 2023 Form 990 IRS filing and there are some interesting details — such as that CEO Sam Altman received $76k in compensation last year, and Emmett Shear, who was interim CEO for a few days during Altman’s ouster, got $3,720.

Hear me out: “Home Alone” still slaps! (Watching it with my 8yo this weekend and it with the exception of some obvious plot holes — like how did they happen to have all those mannequins just lying around? — it’s still so funny.)
