See our ethics statement. It’s been a couple of days since OpenAI rolled out ChatGPT’s new advanced voice mode, and the small group of ChatGPT Plus subscribers given access to it seem pretty impressed so far. Various clips of the feature in action have appeared online, demonstrating its ability to sing, imitate accents, correct language pronunciation, and perform narrative storytelling. An example of the latter can be seen in the below videos, in which X user @nickfloats asks ChatGPT to “tell me a story as if you’re an airline pilot telling it to passengers on a flight.”  The ch...

It’s been nearly three years since the first season of Squid Game premiered on Netflix, and the show has gone on to be a humongous success for the streaming service. Netflix is staying pretty tight-lipped about the plot for what’s to come, but here’s a brief plot synopsis from a Netflix PR email: Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to...
