Rumored F1 movie digital release date points to imminent launch ahead of Apple TV+ debut

A new rumor claims Apple’s F1 movie will be available to own digitally on Friday. However, there are two reasons to be skeptical. The source of the rumor is the aptly named website When To Stream. It claims that F1 will come to PVOD, or premium video on demand, starting this Friday. Forbes notes that the website is “typically accurate for its PVOD reports,” but neither Apple nor Warner Bros. has announced a date.

In Brief OpenAI announced late Friday that it’s updating its latest model to be “warmer and friendlier.” The company recently launched the much-anticipated GPT-5 in a process that CEO Sam Altman admitted was “a little more bumpy than we’d hoped for,” with some users complaining that they preferred the previous model, GPT-4o. OpenAI is trying to address some of those complaints with this update, with changes that it says are “subtle” but will make GPT-5 “more approachable now.” “You’ll notice

The Plan to Turn the Caribbean’s Glut of Sargassum Into Biofuel

Esteban Amaro, director of the Quintana Roo Sargassum Monitoring Network, agrees that fuel is the best product to focus on. Processing the seaweed into other consumer products is possible, but inadvisable given that the health risks of doing so have not yet been sufficiently studied. “I believe that sargassum’s purpose is to produce energy, because when it decomposes, it releases many heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and cadmium,” Amaro says. “Therefore it is better to produce biofuels or bi
