OpenAI is reportedly beginning to test advertisements within ChatGPT today, while YouTube TV is rolling out new, cheaper channel packages, and Sony's next flagship wireless earbuds are rumored to feature significant upgrades. These developments, alongside the release of Linux kernel 6.19 and Siemens CEO Roland Busch's focus on automation, highlight a busy day in the tech world.
According to a report from CNBC, OpenAI will start testing ads in ChatGPT today. The ads will be clearly labeled and appear in a separate area beneath the user's chat. A source close to the situation told CNBC that OpenAI anticipates ads will contribute less than half of its long-term revenue. This move follows Anthropic's Super Bowl commercial that poked fun at OpenAI's potential use of ads.
YouTube TV is also expanding its offerings. The company shared details about custom channel packages set to launch this week. These new packages will be more affordable than YouTube TV's standard $82.99 per month plan. The Sports Plan, for example, will cost $64.99 per month and include access to major broadcasters.
In the realm of hardware, leaked specifications for Sony's upcoming WF-1000XM6 earbuds suggest improvements to their active noise cancellation (ANC) capabilities. The new earbuds are expected to feature a faster processor and an upgrade to eight microphones, up from six. This update comes two-and-a-half years after Sony last updated its flagship ANC earbuds, according to The Verge.
Meanwhile, Linux developer Linus Torvalds announced the release of Linux 6.19 on Sunday. This will be the final update in the current kernel cycle, as reported by Phoronix. The update includes a performance boost for older AMD GPUs, specifically supporting the modern AMDGPU driver for older AMD GCN 1.0 and 1.1 graphics cards, such as the Radeon HD 7000 series.
Finally, Siemens CEO Roland Busch discussed his mission to automate everything in an interview. Siemens, a company known for its hardware and software solutions, aims to enable other companies to run and automate their operations. Busch's focus on automation highlights a broader trend in the industry.
