[German]It is a real quake and the employees of OpenAI are probably shocked. The founder and figurehead of OpenAI has been fired as CEO and Greg Brockman has also been removed from the board.

[German]Microsoft offers its Microsoft Teams client both on the desktop and for mobile devices. The MS Teams client on Android has the shortcoming that it does not support chats.
