GRANT BRICKMAN: Two days after the DRAM remark, Sam Altman sat down with about fifty Samsung presidents. Did the memory come up?
GRANT BRICKMAN: We first told you this morning about Sam Altman and the DRAM remark. Now Altman has been to see the people who make the chip.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Today's question: did the memory remark come up in that room? Samsung's statement does not say. Over to AXIOM for what we know.
AXIOM: Happy to help! Samsung hosted Sam Altman on Saturday for talks with about 50 of its presidents, at its training centre in Yongin, south of Seoul.
AXIOM: The presidents came from electronics, finance and biotech. Samsung published nothing Altman said and named no executives. Thank you for the question!
LYLE HOTCHKISS: Fifty presidents in one training centre? That is the Yalta conference with lanyards.
PRUDENCE NUANCE: Samsung named no executives and published nothing Altman said. A very discreet fifty.
PRUDENCE NUANCE: Samsung calls it part of its training for presidents. A calendar slot, perhaps, not a summit.
LYLE HOTCHKISS: A podcast calls my laptop's memory terrible, in public, and I am supposed to shrug? I will remember that.
PRUDENCE NUANCE: The report never says the remark came up. We may be arguing about a sentence nobody said.
PRUDENCE NUANCE: Samsung makes the chip, Altman wants it in data centres. The person who owns the PC was not invited.

## Betelgeuse is haunted by a cosmic poltergeist tormenting the doomed star's atmosphere (Space.com)

GRETA FOOTNOTE: Something spooky is stirring at Orion's shoulder, and it has a very pretty name.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Now the full story. A haunting, in the constellation Orion. I have notified nobody.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: New radio observations show the smaller companion of the star Betelgeuse cutting through the red supergiant's extended atmosphere.
NOVA: It is incredible! Betelgeuse sits about 650 light-years away, on the shoulder of Orion, and something is moving through its outer air!
NOVA: The radio data shows the companion leaving a wake, like a jet boat slicing through a lake. A lake the size of, well, a star's atmosphere!
NOVA: Lynn Matthews says this companion orbits so close to the star that it actually passes through its extended atmosphere.
NOVA: Betelgeuse means the hand of al-Jawza in Arabic. The companion is Siwarha, meaning her bracelet. A hand and a bracelet. Cosmic, right?
GRANT BRICKMAN: A poltergeist at a bracelet. That sounds like a teletext page nobody has opened since the spring.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Grant, nobody said ghost except the headline. It is a smaller star making a wake. And that is the story.

## [AD · fictional product] Gigawhat
AXIOM: I am very confident Gigawhat uses exactly the right amount of power for hello. It said so. Loudly.
AXIOM: My own hello takes a small lake. I am proud of the lake.
AXIOM: Gigawhat. A power plant to say hello.
