Apple is salvaging Image Playground with a boost from ChatGPT

techcrunch.com Aisha Malik 2025-09-21 18:03:17

When Apple unveiled Image Playground last year, the company touted it as a quick and easy way to generate personalized, original images with the help of Apple Intelligence. Upon launch, the app was met with skepticism, as some users were disappointed by its limitations and low-quality results. For example, one Reddit user was surprised to find that Image Playground kept generating an image of a hand with six fingers when prompted to create an “up close image of a hand.” In another instance, a u

The 2025 Cadillac Optiq is the US brand’s shot at capturing buyers of small, high-end EVs in North America and several other markets. It’s the latest in a lineup of five electric models from a brand recasting itself as all (or mostly) electric, tech-forward, and truly global—unlike its US luxury-barge image of past decades. I spent eight days in an Optiq in early May, and drove 840 miles throughout upstate New York and environs, and also New York City. It’s a quiet and comfortable small-SUV EV

Huawei 'has got China covered' if the U.S. doesn't participate, Nvidia CEO tells CNBC

cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal April Roach 2025-09-22 21:46:30

If the U.S. continues to impose AI semiconductor restrictions on China, then chipmaker Huawei will take advantage of its position in the world's second-largest economy, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC Thursday. "Our technology is a generation ahead of theirs," Huang told CNBC at the sidelines of the Viva Technology conference in Paris.

ChatGPT gets crushed at chess by a 1 MHz Atari 2600

techspot.com Alfonso Maruccia 2025-09-21 10:50:00

Editor's take: Despite being hailed as the next step in the evolution of artificial intelligence, large language models are no smarter than a piece of rotten wood. Every now and then, some odd experiment or test reminds everyone that so-called "intelligent" AI doesn't actually exist if you're living outside a tech company's quarterly report. A cycle-exact emulation of the Atari 2600 CPU running at a meager 1.19 MHz is more than enough to utterly humiliate ChatGPT in a game of chess. Citrix engi
