Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech It only took them three and a half years, but the powers that be at OpenAI have apparently directed ChatGPT to start refusing requests to copy a specific author’s style, Ars Technica reports. And it’s causing an absolute meltdown among “writers” who had grown accustomed to using the chatbot to churn out stories. Word spread quickly on the r/WritingWithAI subreddit, where one person using ChatGPT to write an entire novel made a post fuming that the chatbot is “not letting you emulate specific…
Samsung is rumored to be working on a pair of Galaxy Buds with a new clip-on form factor (new for Samsung, that is – this has been done a lot by most of its competitors recently).

Current models (despite some clear examples of security risks) won’t be impacted, but future launches may face the ban. The current administration has a complicated relationship with China, to put it mildly, and when it’s not wreaking havoc on the global economy with tariffs, it’s fixating on the latest Chinese tech it wants to ban. This week, that has extended…
