Ever since ChatGPT came out, the tech world has jumped on a new hype train—just like it did before with crypto, NFTs, and the metaverse. This time, I think the hype spread even faster because it was so easy to try—just open a website and start typing. ChatGPT quickly became one of the fastest-growing products ever, reaching 100 million users in 2 months. Like past trends, it also brought a lot of debate and strong opinions.

Two Chinese satellites have rendezvoused with one another more than 20,000 miles above the Earth in what analysts believe is the first high-altitude attempt at orbital refueling.
