🔮 OpenAI suspended development of Astra model after attack on Hugging Face

Buffett is buying again! Berkshire Hathaway bought more shares than it sold for the first time in 3.5 years, spending $19.8 billion 💸
Warren Buffett remained chairman of the board of directors, but transferred the position of CEO to Greg Abel effective January 1. Abel is actively using accumulated reserves: during Q2, cash decreased from $397.4 billion to $365.5 billion.
