Los Angeles Times to go public, owner Soon-Shiong says
(Reuters) -The Los Angeles Times newspaper plans to go public within the next year, its owner Patrick Soon-Shiong said in a television interview on Monday, in an effort to give the public ownership of the 143-year-old publication. "We're literally going to take LA Times public and allow it to be democratized and allow the public to have ownership of this paper," Soon-Shiong said on "The Daily Show" in a taped interview with the host, Jon Stewart. The billionaire owner of the newspaper said the model would resemble the public ownership structure of the NFL's Green Bay Packers and that a partner organization was working on the structure. The move follows months of turmoil at the Los Angeles Times. Last January, the paper laid off at least 115 staff, or more than 20% of its newsroom, amid continued financial losses and leadership exits, including Executive Editor Kevin Merida and Managing Editor Sara Yasin. At the time, Soon-Shiong said he paper was losing $30 million to $40 million annually. The papers editorial's editor also resigned last year after Soon-Shiong reportedly blocked a planned endorsement of then-Vice President Kamala Harris, triggering subscriber backlash. Soon-Shiong, who is also the founder of ImmunityBio, bought the LA Times along with other newspapers in 2018 for $500 million from Tronc. LA Times did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on additional details.

OpenAI lifts the lid on ChatGPT's daily prompt count — and it's big
Since its debut in November 2022, OpenAI's ChatGPT has rapidly become one of the fastest-growing consumer apps, and is up there with the likes of Instagram and Threads when it comes to records in user growth. The first public release of the company's AI-powered chatbot stirred global interest in generative AI, and since then the tool has only gained more momentum. OpenAI recently revealed to Axios that its AI chatbot now handles more than 2.5 billion user prompts per day worldwide, a remarkable leap from just 1 billion daily queries in December 2024. And of that figure, around 330 million prompts come from U.S.-based users alone. Recommended Videos To put that in perspective, it means ChatGPT is processing more than 1.7 million prompts every minute, or 29,000 every second. While ChatGPT's 2.5 billion daily prompts are far fewer than the 14 billion or so queries that Google Search handles on a daily basis, the usage of ChatGPT is fundamentally different in that it doesn't just serve up web links, but actively helps users carry out tasks, automate workflows, conduct deep research, provide tutoring, and a whole lot more besides. This important difference means that ChatGPT acts not just as an information finder, but also as a collaborative productivity tool. The rapid adoption of ChatGPT highlights its growing presence in our digital lives, and it's clear that the technology is reshaping the way we interact with information online. In just a short time, ChatGPT has gone from a curious new tool to an integral part of the online experience, and is now a key example of how AI is transforming our digital lives. But of course, ChatGPT is not the only generative-AI tool out there, with OpenAI facing tough competition from a growing field of rivals, including tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Meta, as well as a slew of startups, all of them investing huge sums of money in AI productivity tools in a bid to get ahead. Indeed, the eagerness to dominate the sector has prompted some pushback, with generative-AI firms known to train their AI models on the work of creatives without permission and payment, though recently some have begun inking licensing deals with publishers, artists, and rights holders in a bid to address copyright concerns.
