ChatGPT to carry adverts for some users
Adverts will soon appear at the top of the AI tool ChatGPT for some users, the company OpenAI has announced. The trial will initially take place in the US, and will affect some ChatGPT users on the free service and a new subscription tier, called ChatGPT Go. This cheaper option will be available for all users worldwide, and will cost $8 a month, or the equivalent pricing in other currencies. OpenAI says during the trial, relevant ads will appear after a prompt - for example, asking ChatGPT for places to visit in Mexico could result in holiday ads appearing. In example screenshots shared by the firm, the ads look like banners.

Israeli strikes kill two in Lebanon, UN forces report drone attack
Israeli strikes have killed two people in Lebanon, according to the Lebanese health ministry, in the latest violation of a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. In a statement on Friday, the Ministry of Public Health said an "Israeli enemy strike" on a vehicle in Mansuri in southern Lebanon had killed one person. Israel said the victim of that attack was a Hezbollah member who it alleged "took part in attempts to reestablish Hezbollah's infrastructure in the Zawtar al-Sharqiyah area". The Israeli military on Thursday also carried out several strikes in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa region, north of the Litani River, after issuing warnings to evacuate. United Nations peacekeepers deployed in southern Lebanon on Friday sent a stop-fire request to the Israeli army after a drone "dropped a grenade" on its troops.

It has now evolved into variations like " Chinamaxxing " (acting increasingly more Chinese) and " u will turn Chinese tomorrow " (a kind of affirmation or blessing).

Indonesia sues six companies over environmental harm in flood zones
Indonesia's government has filed multiple lawsuits seeking more than $200m in damages against six firms, after deadly floods wreaked havoc across Sumatra, killing more than 1,000 people last year, although environmentalists criticised the moves as inadequate. Environmentalists, experts and the government pointed the finger at deforestation for its role in last year's disaster that washed torrents of mud and wooden logs into villages across the northwestern part of the island. The sum represents both fines for damage and the proposed monetary value of recovery efforts. The suits were filed to courts on Thursday in Jakarta and North Sumatra's Medan, the ministry added. "We firmly uphold the principle of polluter pays," Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq said in a statement.
