🙏 Apple nears deal with OpenAI to use ChatGPTLINK
Apple is nearing an agreement with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into the iPhone's upcoming iOS 18, enhancing its devices with new AI features. While Apple has successfully advanced discussions with OpenAI, its negotiations with Google concerning the Gemini chatbot are still ongoing without a finalized deal. Apple aims to showcase its advancements in AI at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
✨ OpenAI to demonstrate new features for ChatGPT and GPT-4 next Monday that 'feel like magic'LINK
OpenAI is set to exhibit updates to ChatGPT and GPT-4 on Monday, May 13th at 10AM PT, teasing new features that could include a search engine-like functionality and enhancements dubbed "feels like magic" by CEO Sam Altman.
A speculated "GPT-4 lite" version, identified as gpt-4l and gpt-4l-auto, hints at faster, more cost-effective AI models with potential web browsing and information retrieval capabilities without being a traditional search engine.
The launch might also introduce "SearchGPT," a search product capable of text and image searches, alongside various interactive widgets, suggesting a significant step towards integrating search engine tasks within OpenAI's platform.
🚕 Waymo's robotaxis hit 50,000 weekly tripsLINK
Waymo, an Alphabet-owned company, has announced it is now serving more than 50,000 paid trips every week across Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
The company credits its success to a "safe and deliberate approach" to scaling its program, with over one million rider-only trips across four cities.
Despite surpassing rivals and increasing popularity, Waymo has faced controversies, such as causing traffic blockages and being involved in accidents due to software errors.
⚖️ X loses lawsuit against Bright Data over data scrapingLINK
A US judge dismissed Elon Musk's X lawsuit against the Israeli company Bright Data, which was accused of illegally scraping and selling content from the social media platform. The judge ruled that X could not prove Bright Data violated the user agreement by allowing scraping and circumventing anti-scraping technology. The court's decision highlighted that granting social media platforms control over public data use could lead to 'information monopolies,' dismissing the idea of 'de facto copyright ownership' by X.
🧠 New 3D brain scan generated 1.4 petabytes of data from millimeter-sized sampleLINK
Researchers created a detailed 3D scan of a millimeter-sized piece of human brain, revealing 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, and nearly 150 million synaptic connections.
The scanning process generated 1.4 petabytes of data by slicing the brain tissue into 5,000 sections and using high-throughput electron microscopy, followed by machine learning for reconstruction.
This groundbreaking scan offers the highest-resolution picture of the brain to date, uncovering new insights into brain architecture and could significantly advance brain science research.
