😴 OpenAI says it is investigating reports ChatGPT has become ‘lazy’LINK
OpenAI acknowledges user complaints that ChatGPT seems "lazy," providing incomplete answers or refusing tasks.
Users speculate that OpenAI might have altered ChatGPT to be more efficient and reduce computing costs.
Despite user concerns, OpenAI confirms no recent changes to ChatGPT and is investigating the unpredictable behavior.
👀 Grok AI was caught plagiarizing ChatGPTLINK

An xAI engineer explained that Grok inadvertently learned from ChatGPT's output on the web, resulting in some overlapping behaviors.
The company recognized the issue as rare and promised that future versions of Grok will not repeat the error, denying any use of OpenAI's code.
🍎 Apple responds to the Beeper iMessage saga: ‘We took steps to protect our users’LINK
Beeper Mini created a method for Android users to send iMessage texts, but Apple disrupted the service citing security concerns.
Apple stated they blocked Beeper Mini to prevent risks like metadata exposure and phishing, as they cannot verify Beeper's security practices.
Despite Apple's actions, Beeper is attempting to restore the service, challenging Apple's tight control over iMessage.
🤫 The quiet plan to make the internet feel fasterLINK
L4S (Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput) is a new internet standard designed to significantly reduce internet latency, attracting interest from major companies.
By signaling congestion earlier, L4S aims to minimize data queuing, enabling faster data flow and improving online experiences like web browsing and video calls.
Although L4S is not widely implemented yet, trials are underway with industry support, and it promises to be compatible with existing network protocols for gradual roll-out.
