This free ChatGPT feature flew under the radar - but it's a game changer

zdnet.com Sabrina Ortiz 2025-12-05 21:04:45

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode is now available for free users. With the feature, users can access a conversational voice assistant. Advanced voice, now known as ChatGPT voice, replaces Standard Voice Mode. While OpenAI's new large language models (LLMs) in ChatGPT, such as GPT-5, which just launched today, typically steal the spotlight, some of the best gems are found in the less talked-about features, like Advanced Voice Mode.

Apple Maps cycling directions expand to Hong Kong and Taiwan

When Apple first launched cycling directions on Apple Maps, the feature was limited to a handful of cities like New York and Beijing. Since then, Apple has gradually expanded coverage. Now, cycling directions are also available in Hong Kong and Taiwan. If you ride a bike to get around where you live, you know that some information is essential for route planning: are there bike paths? Bike lanes? Do they cover the entire route?

The Best Colored Noise for Sleep (2025)

wired.com Julia Forbes 2025-12-06 09:12:40

As a certified sleep science coach and mattress tester of five years, I'm no stranger to soothing noises being part of many people's sleep hygiene arsenal. For some, the perfect soundtrack might be white noise. For others, it could be a different color entirely—sometimes streamed on their phone, but often courtesy of a sound machine. If your sound machine or app offers a variety of different colored sounds, how might you know what they mean, or which might be best for your brain? How Noise Is “

Scientists Appear to Have Spotted an Unknown Planet in Nearest Star System to Earth

It's not easy to uncover exoplanets, largely lightless objects that either lurk in the dark void of space or are blown out by the light of a nearby star. But astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope believe they've found a new one — and it's just four light years away. Using the James Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument, the team found strong clues of a mysterious gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system, the nearest star system to Earth.

Very Important Study Calculates Your Chance of Being Killed by an Asteroid vs Several Other Scary Things

The End of Bullshit AI

In every conversation about AI, you hear the same refrains: “Yeah, but it’s amazing,” quickly followed by, “but it makes stuff up,” and “you can’t really trust it.” Even among the most dedicated AI enthusiasts, these complaints are legion. During my recent trip to Greece, a friend who uses ChatGPT to help her draft public contracts put it perfectly. “I like it, but it never says ‘I don’t know.’ It just makes you think it knows,” she told me.

Is there any more charismatic animal than the much maligned koala?

And yet, they have not only survived but thrived for more than 25 million years, outcompeting faster, stronger and smarter animals. How is such a thing possible?
