Since the release of GPT 4o on May 13th, bringing the new Voice assistant feature, fans have noticed how similar the ‘Sky’ voice sounds to famous actress Scarlett Johansson. During the development of the Voice model, Sam Altman had asked her twice if he could use her voice for the model, and she declined. Scarlett was furious that he would base a voice off her, since she had already declined.
While facing legal troubles from Scarlett Johansson’s lawyers, ChatGPT has taken down the Sky voice indefinitely. However, this voice was a fan favourite, and many GPT 4o users are complaining about the lack of this voice.
Concern about the recent Apple Vision Pro cracking in half
Since the release of the Apple Vision Pro in February, users have been noticing small cracks on the front plate usually down the center, as seen below. While not the biggest issue, it has still caused plenty of irritation amongst the community. Apple Technicians believe that it has something to do with temperature, and errors in manufacturing.
The video discusses various tech news updates including leaks about Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 50 Series GPUs, changes to AMD’s FreeSync certification process, rumors about Apple’s upcoming product releases, and potential developments in the headset and AirPods Pro.

Apple Event -May 7, 2024
Ipads have long since been a very popular device, suitable for all kinds of users. On May 7, 2024, Apple announced what might be their biggest ipad event since. New ipads are coming out, and there is nothing quite like them.
The ipad air is now available in 2 sizes, both 11 in and 13 in. The larger display allows for many more possibilities to express oneself through numerous apps. As well, the front camera is now on the landscape edge. With the M2 chip and other factors, the new airs are said to be over 50% faster than the previous models. Its liquid retina display is beautiful to see, and now supports apple pencil hover.
The ipad pros are also available in an 11 inch and 13 inch model, both of which are extremely thin. The 11 inch is 5.3 mm, and the 13 inch is 5.1 mm, making it the thinnest apple product ever. They are both extremely light, and feel great to hold and use. The display features two OLED panels to create great brightness and colour. Together, they can support 1,000 nits of brightness for SDR and 1,600 nits of brightness for HDR. This new display is named ultra retina XDR. The new ipad pro also uses the all-new apple silicon M4 chip to boost power from the previous generation while keeping the thin design. This new model gives 50% faster CPU than the M2 in the previous ipad pro, and 4x the rendering performance. This new chip also has the neural engine, or NPU. This quickens the artificial intelligence operations, and combined with all the other things, offers a huge leap in performance. In addition, the ipad features 20% better thermal performance, reducing discomfort while using many of the improved apps on ipad, such as logic pro and final cut pro. The camera is also a great aspect of ipad pro, featuring a 12 megapixel camera that has been moved to the landscape edge and 4 great microphones. Also, it has a new adaptive flash to get rid of shadows that may be in the way.
Beyond the ipad itself, the accessories have also been improved. The apple pencil now also has a pro version. There is a new sensor in the barrel that can do many things, like squeezing it to bring up a tool palette, which also produces haptic feedback. The apple pencil now also supports find my, and with the other features, offers a great experience for professionals as well as enthusiasts. Ipad has been called “the most powerful device of its kind.”
My Thoughts
The new ipad has had many significant improvements, and though the price is quite steep, it may just be worth it. I don’t consider myself a tablet guy. I use a smartphone, a touchscreen laptop, a smartwatch, but I just never saw the appeal of an ipad. After all, why carry around something that does what an iphone does with the amount of space as a laptop that doesn’t do what a laptop does?
Back when phones were just released, they were incredibly small and couldn’t do a lot, which shows the need for a tablet. However, in recent years, phones have gotten so much larger and more powerful with the ever-growing tech industry, lessening the appeal of a tablet. However, these new ipads, especially the ipad pro, seems to have bounced back.
Personally, I think their weight and size have been a huge improvement. A few weeks ago, when I went to the apple store to actually check them out, I was amazed by the slim design and how it still has such a strong chip inside. Ipads have gotten to the point where they could potentially replace my laptop. With the new magic keyboard and fast design, the ipad has started to feel less like a big phone and more like something I could use as a laptop. However, it is still missing some of the performance and perks you get on a laptop, which I suppose is the point. If they were the same, why need two separate products? Thus, I think that the new ipad is finally at the point where it could perhaps replace a laptop for a less professional user, as it covers most of the basic needs in a lighter, touchscreen design.
Another thing is that many apps are just designed so much better for ipads and iphones. An obvious example is games, for which an ipad would be so much better than say a macbook. As for the screen, I typically don’t mind the display quality as long as it isn’t grainy or too dull. However, with this ipad, I was able to immediately see the contrast presented by the double OLED panels. Finally, the ipad gives you much better cameras than a laptop, and obviously have cameras in the back.
All things considered, the new ipad release has complete changed the tablet industry, to the point where it may even rival laptops for the position of powerful yet portable.

First Neuralink Patient -CBC News
Neuralink is essentially a computer that can be inserted into your brain. It allows you to control an invisible device wherever you go, essentially combining man and machine. This is a company started by Elon Musk, the wealthy entrepreneur and businessman. On January 29, 2024, Musk posted on the platform X that “The first human received an implant from @Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well. Initial results show promising neuron spike detection.” The chip is connected with threads thinner than a human hair, and “spike detection” refers to the ability to recognize what the brain is doing. Neuralink records the brain activity down to what individual neurons are doing and use those patterns to determine how the brain controls things. Generally, when we control a cursor, we use our brains to control our finger, which then moves across the trackpad or mouse to control the cursor. However, with neuralink, we skip the middleman, and just get our brains to control the cursor.
The first patient is Noland Arbaugh, who suffered a spinal chord injury in a swimming accident, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. His mother was his caretaker, and needless to say, this was a difficult time for both of them. However, Nolan reports that his life has gotten so much better with neuralink. He can now control a mouse on a laptop with his brain, and use a computer just like anyone else can. However, neuralink has been facing some problems concerning its safety protocols, and was reported to have been fined for “violating U.S. Department of Transportation rules regarding the movement of hazardous materials,” according to Kanjyik Ghosh.
My thoughts
Personally, I think that Neuralink is a step forward for most people, but definitely not the whole world. Firstly, it is a great way to better the lives of the less fortunate. It allows them to use many of the tools that are a daily thing for most, and perhaps even more than that. Allowing people to truly feel the world again is a great thing, as stated by Nolan, the first patient. I truly believe that it is a huge benefit to the world right now, as has the potential to give them so many more opportunities.
However as we know, technology often grows at a pace much faster than most of us can imagine. Personally, I think that neuralink may advance in the coming years to incorporate an actually computer that can be seen in one’s brain. In this way, patients will no longer need to carry a laptop with them, but can instead just think something into existence in their mind. While this seems great, it can, first of all, allow students to easily cheat during tests. Also, if and when AI gets incorporated into neuralink, what will stop computers from completely taking over our brains. Since they literally control how our neurons fire, they can easily just override our circuits. Even if this doesn’t happen, there is still a privacy concern. Personally, I wouldn’t want something in my brain that tracks how I think. Also, since neuralink is still relatively new, there may be some challenges that will eventually arise. We still do not completely understand how brains work, so it is understandably risky to try something like this.
All things considered, as more and more people start to use it, Neuralink will become a great boon to many people’s lives, but it may also have some problems that are yet to be discovered.
The CEO of Google and Alphabet, Sundar Pichai, speaks to 60 Minutes about his plan to infuse AI into every corner of the business. Pichai has been carefully crafting a strategy that involves AI, which was met with a surprise from longtime rival Microsoft and OpenAI. The chatbot from OpenAI seemingly knocked Google off its perch, challenging its cultural relevance. However, for Pichai, the frenzy is just part of the long game. In 2016, one of the first things Pichai did as CEO was to say that the company should be AI first. Pichai said he is incredibly excited about the beginning of what he thinks will be an extraordinary decade of innovation. Pichai grew up in Chennai, India in a middle-class family. His parents always emphasized learning and knowledge. Pichai perceived their life through the arrival of gadgets. He waited five years for a telephone, which was a rotary phone, but when it came to their home, it changed everyone’s lives. Pichai remembers getting their first television and suddenly being able to watch sports. Pichai never took technology for granted and has always been optimistic about how technology can make a difference.
My thoughts
Sundar Pichai seems to be on a mission to make AI the backbone of Google and Alphabet’s operations. His interview suggests a strategic shift towards AI-first, which isn’t surprising given the direction tech has been heading in recent years. The rivalry with Microsoft and OpenAI adds spice to the mix, highlighting the competitive landscape of the tech industry. Pichai’s personal background is interesting—it’s cool to see how his childhood experiences in Chennai shaped his outlook on technology. Waiting five years for a rotary phone definitely puts things into perspective, especially in today’s fast-paced digital world. I think that it’s pretty interesting that they are making AI the building block for new tech to come.
Story 2 – Laptop Processors
Summary
Dell’s leaked documents reveal that Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon X Series laptop CPUs have significant advantages compared to Intel, including 68% to 98% longer battery life during local video playback, depending on the display type. The leaked documents also suggest that the price of a Snapdragon X Plus is less than half the price of an Intel Raptor Lake core i7 136p. Nvidia is reportedly teaming up with mediatech to release its own arm-based Apu for PCs, which could launch as soon as next year. Open AI has announced the release of GPT 4, which features native multimodality and can process audio and images directly without having to transcribe them to text first, enabling its voice mode to respond to audio inputs within 320 milliseconds. Additionally, GPT 4 can detect and recreate different emotional tones and do improv singing. Asus has come under fire for allegedly refusing to honour warranty repair requests and expecting a payment of $200 to fix the LCD display and top case of a joystick drift issue with their Rog Ally. The company is set to unveil a new handheld, the Rog Ally X, which will retail for $800.
My thoughts
The leaked documents regarding Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon X Series laptop CPUs paint an optimistic picture, indicating significant advantages over Intel chips with notably extended battery life and a more appealing price point. Nvidia’s partnership with mediatech to develop an arm-based Apu for PCs introduces another dimension of competition to the market. OpenAI’s revelation of GPT-4 showcases impressive strides in natural language processing, boasting inherent multimodality and rapid processing of audio and images, alongside the capability to discern and replicate various emotional tones and engage in improvised singing. However, Asus faces scrutiny for purportedly rejecting warranty repair requests and demanding payment for fixes, which contrasts with the anticipation surrounding their forthcoming handheld device, the Rog Ally X, despite its hefty $800 price tag. I think that these innovations are interesting, It’s cool seeing how quickly the tech industry is changing, it’s also interesting knowing that in the near future everything will be AI.
Griff – Best Brawler (Chosen project #1 – News letter)
The greedy man is the best brawler of all time, negative diff griff.
Why he’s good
Griff’s effectiveness as a character in Brawl Stars depends on various factors, including his abilities, playstyle, and how well he synergizes with different team compositions. Here are some reasons why Griff might be considered good by players:
Shopkeeper Role: Griff’s primary function in Brawl Stars is running the in-game shop. While this doesn’t directly impact gameplay, it adds a unique element to his character and makes him stand out among other brawlers.
Attack Mechanism: Griff’s attack involves shooting three coins in a spread pattern. This can be effective for covering a wider area and hitting multiple targets simultaneously.
Super Ability: Griff’s super ability is called “Piggy Bank,” where he throws a briefcase that explodes upon impact, dealing damage to enemies within its radius. This ability can be useful for clearing out groups of enemies or controlling certain areas of the map.
High Damage Output: Griff has the potential to deal significant damage with his attacks, especially if all three coins hit a target. This makes him a threat to enemy brawlers, particularly those with lower health.
Versatility: Griff’s abilities provide him with versatility in various game modes and team compositions. Whether it’s in Gem Grab, Showdown, or Brawl Ball, he can adapt to different situations and contribute effectively to his team’s success.
Overall, Griff’s combination of damage output, area control, and versatility makes him a valuable asset in many Brawl Stars matches. However, as with any character in the game, his effectiveness ultimately depends on the skill of the player controlling him and how well he fits into the team strategy.

This video shows the story of the first-ever human to receive a Neuralink chip implant. Neuralink is a new technology created and developed by Elon Musk. It comes in the form of a chip that is implanted into one’s brain. The goal of this technology is for it to read people’s brain waves and perform actions based on what they’re thinking. For example, someone would turn their light switch off in their head, and their Neuralink connected to their smart home technology would turn it off, without the person having to move at all. In this video, a man named Noland Arbaugh shows us exactly how he uses the chip in his day to day life. Noland is a quadriplegic man who became handicapped after a diving incident. He spent years confined in his home with infinite free time, but nothing to fill this time with. Now, thanks to the neuralink chip, he is capable of controlling a computer with his brain. He can do almost everything from playing chess to listening to music, just by using his brain to control the cursor. Unfortunately, there was a small issue where the threads in the chip retracted. Before he was able to get this issue repaired, it was difficult for him to adjust back to his life prior to this technology, however, the scientists behind Neuralink were able to resolve the issue and get him a new chip.
Personal Commentary:
I think this technology is going to become one of the biggest leaps in tech history. Once it gets further developed, we are going to see it used more frequently in workspaces, at home and in everyone’s day-to-day life. I find it especially inspiring that it’s helped the life of a handicapped person, and hopefully, it can help many more disabled people perform actions and tasks that they struggle with in their daily lives. I do however, fear for how this technology can be used negatively in the future. The neuralink could potentially cause harm to people’s brains or bodies, as there hasn’t been enough research for us to see these effects yet. The government or other third-party associations could hack into the chip and access extremely personal information (or even read your thoughts) through your brain waves, which could be extremely dangerous. Additionally, this technology can become extremely addictive and people can lose connection with the real world. They will begin relying so heavily on this technology to do everything for them, that we will almost be living in a world of robots. We will end up seeing the effects of what people feared with VR happening with the Neuralink chip.
#2 – New iPhone 16
Summary:
In this video, we explore the features coming to the new iPhone 16, expected to launch this September in multiple different models. They are rumoured to have a larger display, a new “capture” button, and new camera technology while keeping the square camera bump. Apple is also currently upgrading the chips used in iPhones as well as the wifi and service connection for the iPhone 16. The iphone camera technology will feature better zooming-in and zooming-out possibilities, along with a coating over the lens which will deflect excessive shinign and lens flaring, allowing for better photo quality. The new iphone will use the usb-c port, like the iphone 15, but with a better battery life.
Personal Commentary:
I believe that while these new features will improve the user’s experience, I don’t think these changes will make a significant difference. Apple releases a new iphone model every year, and with that comes plenty of old iphones thrown away and wasted. I think apple should slow down their releases and focus on making drastic improvements that are well distinguished from the rest of their models. Right now, it feels like the only people buying the new models are people who want to show off their iphones. It’s unnecessary and wastes important resources, contributing to climate change and the consumerism industry.
On June 5th 2023 Apple announced their new product The Apple Vision Pro, a VR headset with detailed cameras so the consumer can very easily mix projections and reality. Ever since June 5th many people have been patiently waiting for this release until about 3 months ago when on february second it was finally available for purchase. When customers received their devices it was very clear that apple was intending the apple vision pro for work and not gaming whereas its competing model the meta quest 3 is much more game focused which partly differentiates the consumer market of the vision pro to other headsets. This is a very good thing for Apple that people have realised this because then apple can set a very high price and it can be considered not overpriced. Apple have clearly taken advantage of this and are charging $3,500 which is 7 times more expensive than the meta quest three $500.

Solar energy has been a popular topic in recent years due to its usefulness and constant staggering advancements. In November 2023 a group of solar experts from silicon valley got together and shattered the previous efficiency records by adding a thin layer of specially formed crystals that enhanced the effectivity of the screen. This shows that scientists are creatively improving solar efficiency and testing many new ways to improve. This matters because solar energy is a very good plan B for energy production and even though we may not rely on it now, the fact that we are still improving it for the future is very important.

An Autonomous Vehicle or self driving car is when technology is used to partially or entirely replace the human driver in navigating a vehicle. There are currently no self driving cars available on the market however many companies are in trial and production with this technology attempting to bring it to market. Tesla is one of the primary companies leading this race. Despite the promise of reducing accidents caused by human error, consumer concerns remain high, particularly after incidents involving Tesla’s autonomous vehicles. A significant percentage of Americans, around 93%, have expressed apprehensions about self-driving technology, primarily due to safety concerns and recent recalls. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, remains optimistic, predicting that Tesla will achieve full self-driving capability by the end of the year. However, his past forecasts have often been overly optimistic, and achieving fully autonomous driving still requires overcoming numerous technical and regulatory hurdles. Musk’s vision includes not only technical advancements but also increased regulatory oversight to ensure the safety and efficacy of these vehicles.
