OpenAI x Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson expressed shock as ChatGPT used a voice similar to hers for their AI, despite her declining the offer. OpenAI denied the allegations but suspended the tool. Johansson's statement highlighted concerns over likeness and transparency in AI voice creation.

The incident raises questions about the ethical use of celebrity voices in AI technology and the need for clearer regulations in this evolving field.

Truth Social Posts Net Loss of $327.6 Million

Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) reported $770,500 in revenue and a net loss of $327.6 million for Q1 2024. The company, which owns Truth Social, had a market capitalization of about $6.6 billion. TMTG recorded $311 million in non-cash expenses related to the conversion of promissory notes.

Reddit — ‘We messed up’

Reddit brings back a revised awards system following user criticism of previous changes. The updated system includes new features like an awards button, improved UI, and safety measures. Users are compensated with exclusive awards as coins are replaced by purchasing gold starting at $1.79.

Despite the return of awards, some popular features like gilding posts with Reddit Premium subscriptions are not reinstated, causing mixed reactions among users.
