Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls. But
in the multitude of councilors there is victory Proverbs eleven fourteen.
Dear Lord, we acknowledge that we are all worse off alone.
When left to our own thoughts, opinions, and desires. Without
the sounding board of council, we are destined to fall.
We are all better together, Lord, We are best when
(00:21):
surrounded by wise friends, mentors, and teachers. We pray that
you would surround us with wisdom. Lord, hedge us in
with leaders and pastors who heed your wisdom. Grant us
insight that we can offer to others as well. And
in all things, may we rely on your word as
our true north, measuring all advice and council against your
perfect word. In Jesus name, we pray, Amen, welcome to

Pray News, where hope is our only bias. Today's news
at a glance. Sam Altman is ousted from Open AI
and welcomed in to the arms of Microsoft. Javier Malay,
a self proclaimed anarcho capitalist, has won Argentina's presidential election,
and Israel and Hamas are at the table negotiating the
Lisa Hostages. All of today's stories are about power struggles.
(01:04):
Every human being is born with a will, desires, and ambitions.
Just look at any toddler and they'll show you that
human beings are born with selfishness and force of will.
A sign of growth and maturity for our individual, family, community,
and nation is its ability to cooperate with others, seek
wise guidance, and sacrifice personal desires for the common good.
(01:24):
Here's to growth in our personal lives, corporations, and nations.
We're glad you're here. We pray today's take on the
News leaves you informed and transformed. A little housekeeping before
we head into our first story, pre News will not
be publishing an episode on Thanksgiving Day. We will, however,
have a special Thanksgiving episode coming out tomorrow and another
special episode for Black Friday. Be sure to follow the
(01:46):
podcast so you never miss an episode, and turn on
alerts so you can be the first to hear them.
Before we get to today's first story, let's hear a
word from these sponsors. Sam Altman, the poster boy for
artificial intelligence and co founder of open ai, the company
behind chatch Ebt, was recently ousted a CEO following a
significant disagreement with the Bore This unexpected development came amidst
(02:09):
concerns over safety and the rapid expansion of commercial offerings
by OpenAI. Greg Brockmann, open AI's president and another co founder,
expressed his shock and sadness over the board's decision resigned
in solidarity with Altman. Altman's exit was reportedly due to
a clash over the balance between speed and safety in
the company's expansion. He attributed his dismal He attributed his
(02:30):
dismissal to a power struggle, particularly with Alia Sutzkeiver, OpenAI's
chief scientist and fellow co founder. Sutzkeiv, increasingly concerned about
the long term safety of open AIS products, has advocated
for research into systems aligned with human values. Under Altman's leadership,
OpenAI transformed from a small nonprofit to a multi billion
dollar company, partly due to the launch of a for
(02:53):
profit arm, attracting major investments, such as a thirteen billion
dollar investment for Microsoft for a forty nine percent state.
Altman's vision for the advent of chat GPT marked a
significant shift in AI technology, drawing widespread attention and reshaping
perceptions of AIS capabilities. Altman's ouster and the subsequent leadership
changes have sent ripples through the tech world, affecting investor
(03:14):
confidence and raising questions about the future direction of OpenAI. Microsoft,
a key partner and investor, voicedeap commitment to continue working
with open ai under its new leadership. Hours following a
meeting between OpenAI and Altman to discuss his possible return, Microsoft,
in a strategic moved, announced the hiring of Sam Altman
and Greg Brockman. They are set to lead an advanced
(03:37):
research lab, marking a significant shift in the AI landscape.
Satya Nodella, CEO of Microsoft, highlighted this new endeavor as
a catalyst for innovation in stark contrast to the cautious
approach referred by OpenAI's bore. This acquisition by Microsoft is
more than just hiring two prominent figures in AI. It
signifies Microsoft's a deepened commitment to pioneering and artificial intelligence
(04:00):
and its readiness to embrace the visionary approach of Altman
and Brockman. Altman's departure from open ai and his subsequent
move to Microsoft underscore a growing rift in the AI community.
This division is characterized by contrasting views of AI development's
pace and its implications for humanity. While Altman has been
a proponent of rapid AI advancements, others in the community
(04:20):
have expressed concerns over potential dangers. Emmett Sheer, the newly
appointed interim chief at OpenAI, brings a different set of
skills and experiences from his tenure at Twitch. His leadership style,
focused on efficiency and profitability, might influence the direction in
which OpenAI evolves in the coming years. The unique governance
structure of open ai, controlled by a nonprofit board with
(04:43):
limited investor influence, has been at point of contention recently.
This structure played a pivotal role in the events leading
to Altman's exit and will continue to shape the organization's
future trajectory. Microsoft's role in this saga is noteworthy. As
a major investor in open ai in NX, now the
employer of Altman and Brockman, Microsoft stands at a crossroads
(05:03):
of influence in the AI domain. The company's actions indicate
a strategic alignment with Altman's vision, possibly hinting at a
future where Microsoft could emerge as a dominant player in
AI innovation and be a competitor to all those it's
invested in. With Altman and Brockman at the helm of
a new research lab that Microsoft could accelerate its AI initiatives,
potentially reshaping the competitive landscape of AI technology. Their expertise
(05:28):
and vision will be pivotal in driving Microsoft's AI agenda.
As believers, this story reminds us of the importance of
ethical leadership and responsible stewardship in a rapidly evolving field
of technology. Proverbs eleven fourteen says, where there is no
guidance of people falls, but in the abundance of counselors,
there is safety. This passage underscores the value of collective
wisdom and accountability and decision making, especially in areas with
(05:51):
profound societal impact like AI. The development of AI technology
presents both immense opportunities and existential challenges. There is no
guesting away from the dramatic impact AI will inevitably have
on the world. It's not hyperbole to say that the
leadership surrounding AI's infancy will play a huge role in
shaping the world's future. As believers, we are called to
(06:12):
engage thoughtfully and prayerfully in these conversations. Advocating for the
development of technology that upholds human dignity reflects God's love
and serves the greater good. Sam Altman's departure from open
AI is more than a corporate upheaval. It's a reminder
of the delicate balance between innovations, safety and ethics, and
the tech industry. As we witness the unfolding of the story.
(06:32):
Let's pray for wisdom and guidance for those leading the
charge in AI, hoping they will navigate these complexities with
integrity and foresight. Dear Lord, in a world increasingly shaped
by artificial intelligence and technology, we pray for wisdom and
ethical discernment for those at the helm of these powerful tools.
Guide the leaders and innovators like Sam Altman and the
team at open AI to prioritize safety, human values, and
(06:55):
the betterment of society in their pursuits. Bless their endeavors
with the spirit of response, ability of collaboration, that their
work may reflect Your love and care for all of creation.
May their decision and innovations be used for good, proving
lives while safeguarding the integrity and dignity of all your children.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen. Javier Malay, an unconventional
(07:16):
libertarian figure, has secured the presidency of Argentina, marking a
significant shift in the country's political landscape, winning with a
substantial margin over Sergiomasa. Malay, a self proclaimed anarcho capitalist,
has promised to dismantle years of free spending populist rule
in a nation plagued by economic turmoil. This has been
described as one of the most critical elections in Argentina's history.
(07:38):
Massa's concession to Malay signifies the end of the ruling
party's dominance, particularly after his association with the economic failures
of President Alberto Fernandez's administration. This change in leadership is
seen as a direct response to Argentina's deepening economic crisis,
characterized by sorey inflation and poverty levels. Malay touts himself
(07:58):
as a provocative white knight ready to battle the economic spiral.
But Malay's victory opens the door to sweeping economic reforms.
His bold propositions, including the adoption of the US dollar
as Argentina's currency, abolishing the central bank, and emphasizing trade
with capitalist countries over China, signal a radical departure from
traditional Argentine economic policies. However, these plans will likely face
(08:21):
significant resistance from the entrenched political powers, including libor unions
and left leaning factions. For decades, the country has been
slogging in the muck and meyer political corruption. Malay promises
to bring redemption, but many are skeptical that although Masa
was a slowly progressing cancer to the country, Malay might
be an atomic bomb. Malay, known for his distinctive appearance
(08:43):
and candidness, has garnered attention as a media personality through
social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube. His diverse background,
opposing views on social issues such as abortion and unconventional
economic beliefs, paint the picture of a leader unlike any
Argentina has ever seen before. Faces the daunting task of
addressing Argentina's severe economic challenges, including a crippling budget deficit
(09:06):
in a struggling currency. His presidency is expected to be
a departure from the past, but the deeply divided political
landscape in Argentina may post significant obstacles to implementing his
ambitious agenda. The election results have elicited mixed reactions. While
Malay supporters celebrate the promise of economic reform and freedom, others,
especially from poor communities, are worried and concerned about measures
(09:29):
and implications for Argentina's social safety net. Malay's election could
have profound implications for Argentina's foreign policy, especially its relationship
with major trading partners like China. His victory adds to
the complex political mosaic of Latin America, where governments of
varying ideological leanings can coexist. Political analysts view Malay's presidency
as a test of Argentina's political stability. His aggressive style
(09:52):
and ambitious reform plans will likely face significant challenges in
a Congress controlled by opposition forces, raising concern about governability
and investor confidence. Malaysa sent to power, calls her prayers
and for wisdom and discernment. Proverbs twenty nine two reminds
us when the righteous increase, the people rejoice, and when
the wick could rule, the people grown. As believers, we
(10:13):
are called to pray for all of our leaders, that
they may govern with righteousness, justice, and a heart for
people that they serve. Malay's presidency challenges us to reflect
on the Biblical principles of stewardship, justice, and care for
the least among us. It's crucial to remember that while
earthly leaders come and go, our ultimate trust and hope
lie in God's sovereign rule. As Malay embars on this
new chapter, let us pray that his leadership brings not
(10:35):
only economic revival, but also renewed commitment to the values
that reflect God's heart for all people. Time will tell.
Javier Malay's election as President of Argentina represents a significant
political shift, reflecting the nation's deep seated economic frustrations and
desire for change. As the world watches how Malay's presidency unfolds,
it's essential to approach this new era with a blend
(10:56):
of hope, caution, and prayerful reflection. Let's prays, Your Lord,
in these times of political and economic change for Argentina,
we lift up President Javier Malay and the nation as
he leads. Grant him wisdom and discernment to navigate the
complex challenges he faces. As we pray for every single leader,
May his leadership bring stability, prosperity, and justice. Help him
to govern with fairness and integrity, mindful of the needs
(11:18):
of all, especially the most vulnerable. Guide a nation that
has been divided and stuck in the muck and mire
of economic strain. Lord, may every decision that these people
may be aligned with your will, bringing peace and hope
to a nation that desperately needs it. Amen. Note this
report was written on November nineteenth at seven thirty pm
(11:38):
Pacific time. Things may have changed since The recent development
in Israel Hamas conflict has brought a glimmer of hope
amidst the tragic backdrop of escalating violence in humanitarian crisis
in Gaza. Reports indicate that Israel and Hamas are on
the verge of an internationally broken deal to pause fighting
and exchange hostages, a move that could alleviate some of
(11:59):
the tensions and suffering in the region. The talks, facilitated
by Egypt Guitar in the US, are centered around the
release of about two hundred and forty hostages held by Hamas.
In exchange, there is a proposal for Israel to release
a comparable number of Palestinian prisoners, specifically women and children,
from its prisons. The negotiations have been complex, with both
sides trying to reach a consensus on the terms of
(12:21):
the ceasefire in the details of the exchange. For Israel,
the release of hostages would relieve the domestic pressures and
could potentially reduce international scrutiny regarding the civilian toll of
its military operations in Gaza, Hamas, facing its own challenges,
would get from a pause in the fighting. It also
seeks concessions such as a steady entry of relief aid
into Gaza and restrictions on Israeli surveillance activities. The conflict
(12:44):
has had a devastating impact on the civilian population in Gaza.
According to health authorities in the Hamaser and Gaza strip,
the debt toll has surpassed thirteen thousand, with more than
half of them being women and children. This staggering number
has drawn widespread condemnation and heightened the urgency for a
diplomatic resolution. The United Nations has been vocal in its
(13:04):
criticism of the conditions in Gaza, particularly highlighting the dire
situation at Alshifa Hospital, which has been described as a
death zone. Recent reports have verified that Israel's staged evidence
of Hamas within the hospital to justify their attacks, creating
even more scrutiny around their campaign into Gaza. One major
hurdle in the negotiations is the difficulty in accounting for
(13:26):
each hostage. This complexity is compounded by Israel's meticulous verification
process to ensure that none of the released Palestinian prisoners
are connected to Hamas in any way. The US, Egypt,
and Katar have been instrumental in mediating the talks. Their
involvement underscores the international community's concern over the escalating violence
and its implications for regional stability. The US has been
(13:48):
actively engaged in negotiations, with officials expressing cautious optimism about
their prospects of reaching an agreement. While the potential hostage
deal offers a momentary respite, it does not adjust the
underlying issues fuelling the Israel Hamas conflict. The situation remains volatile,
with the risk of further escalation always present. Any long
term resolution will require addressing the root cause of the conflict,
(14:11):
including issues related to governance, security, and the humanitarian situation
in Gaza. The potential Israel Hamas hostage deal represents a
critical juncture in the ongoing conflict. While it offers a
chance to reduce immediate hostilities, the broader challenges remain. It
is imperative for the international community to continue its efforts
to find a sustainable solution to the conflict, one that
(14:32):
ensures security, peace and dignity In these trying times, we
are reminded of the biblical call for peace and reconciliation.
Psalm thirty four to fourteen urges us to seek peace
and pursue it, a principle that resonates deeply in the
context of the Israel Hamas conflict. Peace is elusive and shifty,
and meant to be pursued like a hunter to its prey.
As the world watches the unfolding events, we pray for wisdom, courage,
(14:55):
and compassion, and we pray for the insatiable pursuit of
peace for all the involved in the peace process. Hoping
for a future where harmony prevails over discord. Let's pray,
Heavenly Father, we pray for peace and understanding the Israel
Hamas conflict, especially for the families and communities affected by
the violence and loss. May wisdom and compassion guide the
(15:16):
leaders and negotiators as they work towards this crucial hostage exchange.
Grant strength and wisdom to overcome obstacles and the foresight
to prioritize humanitarian needs. May this step lead to further
reconciliation discussions and a path to enduring peace in the region.

involvement underscores the international community's concern over the escalating violence
and its implications for regional stability. The US has been
(13:48):
actively engaged in negotiations, with officials expressing cautious optimism about
their prospects of reaching an agreement. While the potential hostage
deal offers a momentary respite, it does not adjust the
underlying issues fuelling the Israel Hamas conflict. The situation remains volatile,
with the risk of further escalation always present. Any long
term resolution will require addressing the root cause of the conflict,
(14:11):
including issues related to governance, security, and the humanitarian situation
in Gaza. The potential Israel Hamas hostage deal represents a
critical juncture in the ongoing conflict. While it offers a
chance to reduce immediate hostilities, the broader challenges remain. It
is imperative for the international community to continue its efforts
to find a sustainable solution to the conflict, one that
(14:32):
ensures security, peace and dignity In these trying times, we
are reminded of the biblical call for peace and reconciliation.
Psalm thirty four to fourteen urges us to seek peace
and pursue it, a principle that resonates deeply in the
context of the Israel Hamas conflict. Peace is elusive and shifty,
and meant to be pursued like a hunter to its prey.
As the world watches the unfolding events, we pray for wisdom, courage,
(14:55):
and compassion, and we pray for the insatiable pursuit of
peace for all the involved in the peace process. Hoping
for a future where harmony prevails over discord. Let's pray,
Heavenly Father, we pray for peace and understanding the Israel
Hamas conflict, especially for the families and communities affected by
the violence and loss. May wisdom and compassion guide the
(15:16):
leaders and negotiators as they work towards this crucial hostage exchange.
Grant strength and wisdom to overcome obstacles and the foresight
to prioritize humanitarian needs. May this step lead to further
reconciliation discussions and a path to enduring peace in the region.
