OpenAI may launch search engine to take on Google
Popular tipster Jimmy Apples on X platform has claimed that OpenAI is expected to host an event on May 9, a week ahead of Google's annual I/O event (May 14).
In a recent podcast with Lex Fridman, Altman emphasized OpenAI's desire to avoid simply replicating Google Search. "I find the current model boring. The question shouldn't be about building a 'better' Google Search. It's about fundamentally improving information discovery, utilization, and synthesis," he explained.
It is widely reported that OpenAI is said to have used some of Microsoft Bing's resources to build its search engine.
This could also render Perplexity AI obsolete.

After being inactive for 3 years, Neofetch is now archived!
The owner archived the GitHub repository on Apr 26, 2024 and is now read-only, which means that the development for Neofetch has ceased. However, the development seemed to stall a few years back, as the pull requests and issues were ignored, and there were no new commits since 2020.
Here are some alternatives to Neofetch:
• hyfetch - Actively maintained Neofetch fork
• Fastfetch - Like Neofetch, but written in C
• screenFetch - Bash Screenshot Information Tool
• macchina - Currently in maintenance mode (bug fixes)
• Archey - Written in Python

A follow-up to my "Rabbit R1 is an Android app in a box" article:
In their attempted rebuttal, Rabbit made several misrepresentations of my findings - as well as of their own product.
I address their claims in my latest article for Android Authority.

No, you don't need a 'very bespoke AOSP' to turn your phone into a Rabbit R1 — here's proof
Rabbit recently said their AI service can only be accessed on the R1 with its “very bespoke AOSP” firmware, but that isn’t true.

United States Sanctions Senior Leader of the LockBit Ransomware Group
The United States, along with its allies, has identified and sanctioned Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev, a leader of the LockBit ransomware group. Khoroshev is believed to be responsible for developing and distributing LockBit ransomware, which has targeted critical infrastructure sectors worldwide. The US Department of State is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information that leads to Khoroshev's arrest.
LockBit is a Ransomware-as-a-Service group responsible for numerous attacks, including the attack on the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's U.S. broker-dealer and Chicago's Saint Anthony Hospital.
The sanctions imposed on Khoroshev will freeze his assets in the United States and prohibit US persons from doing business with him.
Edit:
Lockbit ransomware group has made a statement to the FBI. It says: "The FBI is bluffing, I’m not Dimon, I feel sorry for the real Dimon))) oh, and he’ll get p**sy for my sins)))"
