👑 Apple could crown OpenAI as King of the ValleyLINK
Apple and OpenAI are reportedly partnering to integrate ChatGPT into the iPhone's operating system, potentially making it a core feature on every device, as reported by Bloomberg and The Information.
The partnership could mark the end of Google's competition with OpenAI for being the main AI chatbot on iPhones, putting OpenAI in front of Apple's massive user base and enhancing its long-term influence in Silicon Valley.
While it’s unclear exactly how Apple will use ChatGPT, possibilities include powering Siri or offering it as a standalone app, with new AI features likely to be introduced as opt-in services during the Worldwide Developers Conference next week.
🤖 New ‘AI teammate’ can tell people what to do at workLINK
Asana has introduced an "AI teammate" that provides advice and plans for team collaboration, enhancing its platform's task management capabilities.
The AI model can assign tasks based on historical team relationships and skill sets, ensuring that work is allocated to the most suitable individuals.
A chat interface has also been announced, allowing users to interact with the AI teammate and ask questions about their projects.
🚗 Elon Musk explains reasoning for Nvidia chip re-route from Tesla to XLINK
Elon Musk has acknowledged diverting Nvidia AI chips intended for Tesla to his other companies, xAI and social media firm X, claiming the chips would have been unused otherwise.
This move comes as Musk repositions Tesla from solely a car manufacturer to an AI and robotics company, with plans to significantly increase its chip procurement for AI training by the year's end.
The timing of Musk's confession could affect the upcoming vote on his substantial pay package, raising concerns among Tesla shareholders about potential resource misallocation to his other ventures.
⚛️ OpenAI seeks ‘vast quantities’ of nuclear fusion energy to power superhuman AILINK
OpenAI is looking to secure a deal with Helion Energy to obtain "vast quantities" of nuclear fusion energy for creating advanced artificial intelligence.
Helion Energy, supported by significant investments including $375 million from OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman, aims to produce commercial-scale nuclear fusion energy by 2028.
Nuclear fusion is considered the "holy grail of clean energy" and is crucial for meeting the energy needs of future AI, but achieving it at scale remains highly challenging.
🏴☠️ TikTok says cyberattack targeted brands and celebrity accountsLINK
TikTok encountered a cyberattack aimed at various brand and celebrity accounts, including CNN's, and has taken steps to mitigate the attack, a company spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday.
The number of compromised accounts is reportedly minimal, and TikTok is actively collaborating with affected users to restore their access and enhance security measures.
Despite the targeting of notable figures like Paris Hilton, her account was not breached, while TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, is fighting a law requiring it to sell TikTok by January or face a ban in the U.S.
