In the past, scientists thought that prehistoric peoples only traveled briefly through high-altitude mountain areas, rather than staying to take advantage of their resources. But new evidence suggests that, starting about 5,500 years ago, a prehistoric community repeatedly climbed up to Cave 338, 2,235 meters above sea level in the Pyrenees, to collect and process malachite for copper—returning many times over thousands of years. Additional finds, including jewelry, suggest that much more remains to be found when excavations reopen this summer. Source link

Bitcoin price crossed the $80,000 threshold late Sunday and into today, posting a brief 2% gain over 24 hours to reach a high of $80,750 — a level analysts describe as a major psychological resistance zone that has flipped to potential support.

Two days before the Elon Musk vs. OpenAI trial began last week, Musk texted the model maker’s president and co-founder Greg Brockman. Musk suggested to Brockman that OpenAI settle the suit. After Brockman replied by suggesting both sides drop their suits, the exchange went off the rails, with Musk responding: “By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America. If you insist, so it will be.” This is all according to a new filing submitted on Sunday by OpenAI’s lawyers. The filing didn’t include copies of the text exchange, and most of…

Bret Taylor’s AI startup Sierra is raising a $950 million funding round led by Tiger Global and GV, the company announced Monday, pushing its post-money valuation above $15 billion. The raise gives Sierra more than $1 billion to work with — capital the company says it will use to become the “global standard” for AI-powered customer experiences.

Today it claims to have more than…
