TL;DR: 1minAI's lifetime subscription is on sale for 79.97 (over 80% off) before this price drop expires. You've heard of ChatGPT, Gemini, and the other top AI tools, but probably not the newest one that's rising as their biggest competitor. It combines them all into a single platform without subscription fees--and we think it's far easier to use, especially if you're new to AI. So, you need to generate articles for work? Use 1minAI's preset tool and select a tone, length, number of sections, and keywords, then describe your desired content.

'Bella the robot waitress won't replace our staff' 4 days agoShareSaveSophie CridlandReporting fromPortlandShareSaveBBCMike Deadman, from The View Cafe and Bar, said Bella was not being used to replace staff Bella carries multiple trays packed with food and drinks, deftly swerving any obstacles and delivering orders day in and day out to her customers. This is the latest recruit at The View Cafe and Bar at Portland's Heights hotel in Dorset. But Bella is no normal member of the waiting staff - she is a state-of-the art robot programmed to serve and even interact with the eatery's patrons. And costing a little under 9,000, it is hoped it can be an economical idea, as well as a novel one. But assistant manager Mike Deadman insists Bella - built by Chinese technology company Pudu - will not result in any job losses.

In its report The Climate Paradox: Why We Need to Reset Action on Climate Change, the Tony Blair Institute argues that global institutions such as COP and the UN have failed to make sufficient progress in halting climate change. At the same time, it argues, the public have lost faith in climate policies because the promised green jobs and economic growth have failed to materialise, thanks in part to global instability and the Covid pandemic. Writing in the foreword, Sir Tony says: "Though most people will accept that climate change is a reality caused by human activity, they're turning away from the politics of the issue because they believe the proposed solutions are not founded on good policy." He says "any strategy based on either'phasing out' fossil fuels in the short term or limiting consumption is a strategy doomed to fail". He also warns against the "alarmist" tone of the debate on climate change, which he says is "riven with irrationality".

OpenAI is working to fix a bug that allowed -- and, in some cases, reportedly encouraged -- minors to generate erotica on ChatGPT, as TechCrunch reported on Monday, April 28. OpenAI told TechCrunch that the company is "actively deploying a fix," since its policies don't allow its AI chatbot to send responses like this to users under 18 years old. Young people have been finding ways to access pornography and erotica since the dawn of the internet, so it's not surprising that youngsters would also test the limits of the popular AI chatbot. An OpenAI spokesperson told Mashable over email that its "model policies don't allow the kind of responses that happened here, and they shouldn't have been shown to users." "Protecting younger users is a top priority, and our Model Spec, which guides model behavior, clearly restricts sensitive content like erotica to narrow contexts such as scientific, historical, or news reporting. In this case, a bug allowed responses outside those guidelines, and we are actively deploying a fix to limit these generations," the OpenAI statement read.

Congress has passed a bill that forces tech companies to take action against certain deepfakes and revenge porn posted on their platforms. In a 409-2 vote on Monday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the "Take It Down" Act, which has received bipartisan support. The bill also received vocal support from celebrities and First Lady Melania Trump. The bill already passed the Senate in a vote last month. The Take It Down Act will now be sent to President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign it into law.

It's been clear for a while now that the default ChatGPT experience is designed to nod along with most of what you say. But even that tendency can go too far, apparently. In a thread on X posted on April 27, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that "GPT-4o updates have made the personality too sycophant-y and annoying." And today, Altman announced on X that the company was fully rolling back the 4o update for paid and free users alike. But users have started complaining online about the 4o model's overly agreeable personality.

As of Monday, April 28, OpenAI is experimenting with new ways to recommend products to ChatGPT users. OpenAI announced the update on Monday, saying the ChatGPT search tool will now make it "simpler and faster to find, compare, and buy products in ChatGPT." In a post on X, OpenAI said that the AI chatbot can now show product images, comparisons, pricing, reviews, and even a direct link to various retailers. Mashable was able to generate the new features using the ChatGPT 4o model. The new "shopping improvements" make ChatGPT a stronger competitor to Google's search product, which searchers often use to find product recommendations.
