AI Daybreak: Your Daily Dose of Silicon Beach Madness

By Tommy Vee

Welcome back to the chaos, fellas. This edition’s packed with AI drama, from Apple’s rogue news alerts turning your phone into a gossip queen, to Google’s Sundar Pichai betting the house on Gemini like it’s the next heavyweight champ. And don’t forget OpenAI’s latest stunt—trying to play god with your lifespan. Buckle up, because the AI world isn’t just evolving—it’s throwing punches and breaking rules. Let’s dive into the madness.

Siri, Stop Lying: Apple Halts AI News Feature

Apple’s AI decided to play telephone with the news, and let’s just say it didn’t end well. Their error-prone feature started pushing out bogus alerts, turning iPhones into the next best thing to a gossip rag. Apple’s pulling the plug on this malfunctioning mouthpiece in the iOS 18.3 beta update, after some embarrassing “hallucinations” made headlines—literally. One classic screw-up? A BBC alert falsely claimed “Luigi Mangione shoots himself,” making the news sound like a bad crime drama. For now, Apple’s AI is going back to school, and hopefully, it’ll learn to stop making stuff up.

Reprogramming Humanity: The GPT-4b Micro Gambit

So, OpenAI’s got a new gig—trying to keep us all alive a little longer, like a bad sequel that just won’t end. They teamed up with Retro Biosciences, a startup that thinks it can cheat the reaper by a cool ten years. Together, they cooked up GPT-4b micro, a model that messes with Yamanaka factors to turn back the clock on your cells. Think of it as a digital plastic surgeon for your DNA. Sam Altman’s backing it, because apparently, immortality is the new black. They’re even planning to drop their findings soon. Stay tuned—science just got a little more sci-fi.

Google’s Big Bet: Can Gemini Catch Up?

Sundar Pichai’s got a new ace up his sleeve—Google’s Gemini, and he’s betting it can outsmart the competition. After getting blindsided by ChatGPT’s debut, Google’s been hustling to reclaim its AI throne. Pichai’s aiming for 500 million users by year’s end, but right now, Gemini’s got some catching up to do. ChatGPT’s racked up 465 million downloads while Gemini lags behind with 106 million. Google’s tossing in some freebies, phasing out its $20 AI fee on Workspace, but jacking up other prices. Gemini might be the future, but for now, it’s still in training wheels mode.
