The Download: your stake in OpenAI, and the Treasury’s AI warning

《下载》：你在 OpenAI 的股份，以及美国财政部的 AI 警告

This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. 这是我们工作日时事通讯《下载》的今日版，为您提供每日科技界动态。

Your family’s $300 stake in OpenAI: Sam Altman’s proposal that Americans should share in the wealth created by AI is back in the spotlight, with reports that he is discussing giving the US government a 5% stake in OpenAI. At the company’s current valuation, that stake would be worth roughly $320 per American household. The idea is meant to address concerns that AI companies are benefiting from human-generated work without compensating creators, while also easing fears that AI will cause a collapse of the labor market by providing a safety net. The details, however, remain unclear. Indeed, the offer may be more powerful as a political narrative than as a policy plan. Read the full story on what the dividend proposal reveals about the future of AI. —James O’Donnell 你家庭在 OpenAI 的 300 美元股份：萨姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）关于美国人应分享 AI 所创造财富的提议再次成为焦点，有报道称他正在讨论给予美国政府 OpenAI 5% 的股份。按公司目前的估值计算，这部分股份相当于每个美国家庭约 320 美元。这一构想旨在解决人们对 AI 公司在未补偿创作者的情况下利用人类生成成果获利的担忧，同时通过提供安全网来缓解 AI 可能导致劳动力市场崩溃的恐惧。然而，具体细节尚不明确。事实上，这一提议作为一种政治叙事可能比作为一项政策规划更有影响力。阅读关于该红利提议揭示了 AI 未来走向的完整报道。——James O’Donnell

Adventures in the genetic time machine: Eske Willerslev, a specialist in recovering DNA from old bones and objects, has made numerous breakthroughs. These include recovering the first more or less complete genome of an ancient human and 2.4-million-year-old genetic material from Greenland, revealing that today’s Arctic desert was once a forest with poplar, birch, and mastodons. These findings are part of a wave of discoveries from what’s being called an “ancient-DNA revolution.” Beyond revealing stories of human migration and vanished ecosystems, scientists believe ancient DNA can unearth clues about modern diseases. It could even lead to a better food supply for our warming world. “And can we get that?” Willerslev asks. “Yes, I believe we can.” Discover how ancient DNA could rescue the future. —Antonio Regalado 基因时间机器的冒险：Eske Willerslev 是一位从古老骨骼和物体中提取 DNA 的专家，他取得了多项突破。其中包括恢复了第一个相对完整的人类古基因组，以及来自格陵兰岛的 240 万年前的遗传物质，揭示了今天的北极沙漠曾经是拥有杨树、桦树和乳齿象的森林。这些发现是被称为“古 DNA 革命”的发现浪潮的一部分。除了揭示人类迁徙和消失的生态系统的故事外，科学家们认为古 DNA 可以挖掘出关于现代疾病的线索。它甚至可能为我们变暖的世界带来更好的食物供应。“我们能做到吗？”Willerslev 问道。“是的，我相信我们可以。”探索古 DNA 如何拯救未来。——Antonio Regalado
