Huge undersea wall dating from 5000 BC found in France ![](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/0ca9/live/f70b33a0-d6b0-11f0-9fb5-5f3a3703a365.jpg.webp) > With an overall mass of 3,300 tonnes, the wall must have been the work of a substantial settled community. And to have lasted 7,000 years, it was clearly an extremely solid structure. > "It was built by a very structured society of hunter-gatherers, of a kind that became sedentary when resources permitted. That or it was made by one of the Neolithic populations that arrived here around 5,000 BC," said archaeologist Yvan Pailler.

Who is OpenAI’s auditor? ![](https://images.ft.com/v3/image/raw/ftcms%3Ad3db6e1e-cb73-4677-9e31-b41ed4a6e37d?source=next-article&fit=scale-down&quality=highest&width=700&dpr=1) > Who is its auditor? It’s a simple question, which ought to have a simple answer. > Most public companies in OpenAI’s notional market cap weight class are audited by one of the Big Four: Deloitte, EY, KPMG or PwC. At the lower end of large-cap US stocks, names like Grant Thornton or BDO creep in. > OpenAI’s auditor is not disclosed. Now, as a private company, it is under no obligation to release this information — but it’s not trivial. The lack of information has left several people we’ve spoken to on Wall Street a bit confused.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books > OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. > OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. > A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.
