📦 OpenAI's copyright infringement, Sam Altman's mystery hardware, SpaceX tries again
Uh oh, OpenAI and Microsoft have gotten into hot water with The New York Times, accused of using the media giant's publications to train their AI models. Sam Altman is all hyped about dropping a groundbreaking AI hardware device, and though there's little information on it, he's got an A-team backing him up (some might be ex-Apple folks). Lastly, SpaceX is gearing up to launch the X-37B space plane tomorrow—fingers crossed it all goes smoothly 'cause the January flight schedule's already packed!
📦 Introducing: Ferret, Apple's AI move, Copilot for Android
While we were unwrapping gifts, Apple pulled off two sneaky moves. First up, they dropped a large language model called Ferret, and we're just noticing it now! Additionally, reports claim they're chatting with big media players about using news archives for AI training. Let's admit it, they're stepping up their game. Also, if you're an Android user, today's your lucky day – Microsoft Copilot is now available on the Google Play Store!
📦 Google's ad evolution, Countdown to Vision Pro, Midjourney's gift
Looks like Google's really nailing the AI game across all its services. Things are getting so automated that certain job roles are shifting. We've heard whispers about Vision Pro dropping in February, but how sure can we be? Well, most developers working with visionOS got the memo from Apple to fine-tune their apps. And for the creative minds out there, Midjourney just dropped Version 6! Bringing even more realistic images and finally diving into text generation. What a cool present, huh? Wishing everyone a super Merry Christmas!
📦 Apple's own GPT, Starship's third flight, Samsung's Galaxy leak
Apple's dropping hints that they're really into AI, ensuring no one accuses them of falling behind again. Recent papers reveal a ChatGPT-style system for iPhones. If things go as planned, we might catch Starship soaring once more before the year ends. Fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle! Lastly, if Samsung was aiming for a big surprise in January, oops, some leaks have just derailed their plans.
📦 NACS club expands, AI and art, Copilot's new tunes
Many of us were just waiting for the day when Volkswagen would finally get on board with Tesla's NACS connector, and guess what? It happened before Christmas! And not just them – Audi and Porsche are also involved. The whole AI art vs. human art debate is still going strong. People have all kinds of opinions, but the funny thing is, we humans don’t always spot the difference easily. Oh, and by the way, Microsoft dropped a cool new Copilot feature, and it's all about music!
📦 Blue Origin's triumph, Psyche's cosmic cat, Cybertruck as a boat?
It's always good to give things a second shot, and after a long pause, Blue Origin has finally hit the skies with its New Shepard suborbital vehicle. Exciting times are ahead for the company. I'm a fan of funny cat videos online, but NASA just shared one that's out of this world, from Psyche's deep space journey. Oh, and who knew the Cybertruck was this versatile? Apparently, it can also be used as a boat. Talk about unexpected talents!
📦 Blue Origin's latest setback, Unlocking Bennu, SpaceX tries again
If, like me, you were stoked to see Blue Origin's New Shepard blast off, it looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer until they decide it's time to hit the skies. NASA thought they were in the clear after the Bennu asteroid retrieval mission, but nope! Now they're on another mission to delicately open the tiny canister without messing up the samples. And big cheers to SpaceX—they're gearing up for round five with the mysterious U.S. Space Force spaceplane launch on December 28. Hopefully, they'll make it!

On the other hand, many researchers hope to decode complex math tasks with large language models, and DeepMind appears to be in the lead. Oh, and remember Spotify's AI playlists? It is no longer a rumor! They're testing it right now. Wonder what I'd get if I typed "Songs to write a newsletter."
