View quick summary
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 has silently released as a slightly overclocked successor to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1. The difference lies in the fact that the 6 Gen 3 uses performance cores clocked at 2.4GHz instead of 2.2GHz. It still uses the same four efficiency cores as the 6 Gen 1.

A new WSJ report has highlighted that ChatGPT has had AI-detection tools with 99.9% accuracy in place, ready to release to the public, for a year now. However, the report also suggests that the company has been internally divided on whether or not to make it publicly available. The text watermarking method that OpenAI uses can accurately detect text that's straight away generated by ChatGPT without going through paraphrasing or any such external modifiers. Meanwhile, ChatGPT is also working on detecting the origins of a text via its metadata, which is a bit more complex to achieve. There have also developed C2PA Metadata for AI-generated Images that provides a reliable history of such images. All things considered, OpenAI should really stand its ground and release these tools to the public, and finally stay true to its promise of using AI responsibly.

Nothing Phone 2a Plus Review: Well, That Doesn’t Add Up
View quick summary
The Nothing Phone 2a Plus is just a glorified Phone 2a, with a couple of upgrades that just don't hit the spot.
