The so-called scratchgate fiasco may have drummed up a lot of attention since Apple released its latest iPhones, but I've been struggling with a different issue. Over the last several weeks, my iPhone Air has had trouble placing and receiving calls, and there have been periods in which I've completely lost service, even after turning my phone off and on again.

OpenAI will reportedly release a TikTok-like social app alongside Sora 2

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-30 16:58:44

In a development that should surprise no one, OpenAI is preparing to release a standalone social app powered by its upcoming Sora 2 video model, Wired reports. The app reportedly "closely resembles" TikTok, with a vertical video feed and swipe-to-scroll navigation. The catch? It will only feature AI-generated content; there's apparently no option for the user to upload photos or videos from their phone's camera roll. Wired adds OpenAI will limit Sora 2 to generating clips that are 10 seconds lo

Job seekers in all fields can expect to soon be doing a lot more initial screening interviews. While that may sound like positive news, it doesn’t mean that there will suddenly be more open positions. Instead, recruiters, often bogged down with determining which applicants are qualified for the next round, will outsource the routine screening tasks — like checking backgrounds, salary needs, and availability— to (you guessed it) AI.
