    --

    Green The Bid has released its Complete Production How-To Guide To Sustainable Production, a step by step guide to creating a sustainable and regenerative production. The guide was designed in collaboration with Green The Bid members Green Spark Group, harvest, Madam, Sweet, Assembly, The Light and The Lift which volunteered their experience and many of their resource documents to support the design of this free-to-use manual. 

    The guide was created for any production, agency or brand producer looking to manage a sustainable production internally, when the support of a sustainability consultant is not possible. It is broken down into chapters that guide the steps and practices needed to take to create a sustainable and regenerative production. 

    This includes, but is not limited to:

    • What to budget to ensure that a sustainable production is achieved.
    • Advance considerations for flying, donations, and end-of-life set builds.
    • What to prep to ensure all departments are informed and participating.
    • How to report on the measures used, waste avoided, and carbon consumed. 

    Green The Bid is a non-profit organization, educational resource, and community established to shift the global advertising industry to environmentally sustainable and regenerative production practices. In addition to the Complete Production How-To Manual, the Green The Bid website offers a wide variety of resources, from webinars to check-lists, to support the global industry transition. The community is free to join and volunteer-supported.

    Suchir Balaji, a former OpenAI engineer and whistleblower who helped train the artificial intelligence systems behind ChatGPT and later said he believed those practices violated copyright law, has died, according to his parents and San Francisco officials. He was 26.

    Balaji worked at OpenAI for nearly four years before quitting in August. He was well-regarded by colleagues at the San Francisco company, where a co-founder this week called him one of OpenAI's strongest contributors who was essential to developing some of its products.

    "We are devastated to learn of this incredibly sad news and our hearts go out to Suchir's loved ones during this difficult time," said a statement from OpenAI.

    Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on Nov. 26 in what police said "appeared to be a suicide. No evidence of foul play was found during the initial investigation." The city's chief medical examiner's office confirmed the manner of death to be suicide.

    His parents Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy said they are still seeking answers, describing their son as a "happy, smart and brave young man" who loved to hike and recently returned from a trip with friends.

    Balaji grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and first arrived at the fledgling AI research lab for a 2018 summer internship while studying computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. He returned a few years later to work at OpenAI, where one of his first projects, called WebGPT, helped pave the way for ChatGPT.

    "Suchir's contributions to this project were essential, and it wouldn't have succeeded without him," said OpenAI co-founder John Schulman in a social media post memorializing Balaji. Schulman, who recruited Balaji to his team, said what... Read More
