tvOS 17.5 is now available to everyone with an Apple TV that can run tvOS. While Apple didn't provide release notes for this operating system update, Cupertino is enhancing the experience on its set-top box while making it more secure. That said, it doesn’t seem tvOS 17.5 brings anything major, as Apple is already preparing for the tvOS 18 update. We’ll discover more about this operating system on June 10 with the WWDC 2024 keynote. With tvOS 17.4, Apple also offered us a mild software update, although it was full of references for unreleased products and operating systems. With beta 1, the company added references to unreleased homeOS software. Most likely, this software could be used for a HomePod with a screen. Bloomberg and other outlets have reported on a HomePod with iPad integration, like an Amazon Echo Show product. Apple is also apparently working on a HomePod with a circular display. That said, instead of the current wave animations that we have on the HomePod, we could see music and weather data, for example. That would come in handy, as tvOS 17.4 beta was adding a SharePlay feature for Apple Music. iPhone users could scan a QR code on the Apple Music app for the Apple TV and join a SharePlay session to add songs to a list and create a listening party. Unfortunately, it seems Apple scrapped this feature for now. In addition, HomePod Software 17.4 added a new feature for Siri. According to the release notes, “This update enables Siri to learn your preferred media service, so you no longer need to include the name of the media app in your request.” With that, if you use Pandora or YouTube Music, you don’t need to ask the HomePod to play a song on that streaming, as Siri will understand this is where you usually listen to songs. BGR will let you know if we discover anything new with tvOS 17.5. Apple has also released iOS 17.5, iPadOS 17.5, watchOS 10.5, and macOS 14.5 to all users. We’ll let you know if we find anything new with these updates.

OpenAI has debuted some big changes coming to its AI chatbot, including its new ChatGPT GPT-4o update, a desktop app, and some other big changes users can expect to see soon. Here are all of the biggest announcements from the OpenAI spring update. A new GPT model Perhaps one of the biggest announcements to come out of the spring update is the introduction of GPT-4o, the latest GPT model, which will start rolling out to ChatGPT users today. The new model’s API offers some massive improvements over GPT-4 Turbo, including being two times faster, 50 percent cheaper, and five times higher rate limits. The ChatGPT 4-o update will start rolling out today, but it won’t just be premium users getting access to the new model. OpenAI has also revealed that GPT-4o will be available with limited usage rates for ChatGPT free users, a huge improvement over past models like GPT-4, which was only available to those who subscribed to ChatGPT Plus. Official ChatGPT desktop app Alongside the new model, OpenAI is also launching a new desktop app with access to GPT-4o and other GPT models. The desktop app will feature options to capture your screen, listen to your voice, and directly interact with it through text and other means — like images and documents. It’s the first time that ChatGPT has offered an official desktop app, which should make it an even better option for those who want easier access to GPT on their computers without having to sign into their web browser.

OpenAI employees and acolytes were all over Twitter in the lead-up to Monday's spring update from the company, so much so that the breathless hype was practically unavoidable. "The world will change forever," one tweet promised. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman teased that what was coming felt like "magic" to him. And this was all on top of rumors that the ChatGPT maker is working on a Google Search rival, and that OpenAI is teaming up with Apple for a voice assistant. In reality, while there were a plethora of technical announcements that the company unveiled during its rather brisk live-streamed event (such as the release of a new desktop version of ChatGPT), one over-arching big reveal stood out to me. It's that the new ChatGPT-4o makes OpenAI's already impressive chatbot feel and sound so much more, dare I say it, human. Among other things, ChatGPT can now detect emotion in both the user's voice as well as from their facial expression, just like a human can. It also makes unprompted jokes, the way a human would who's trying to keep a conversation light, and it also lets you interrupt a response -- so that you no longer have to confine yourself to the stilted my turn-your turn dynamic of a conversation with a chatbot. https://twitter.com/mckaywrigley/status/1790073147431047248 To get a sense of what I mean about OpenAI making ChatGPT feel more human, check out this video the company posted in which the new GPT4-o model interacts via the camera with a cute dog. If you had your eyes closed, you'd think this is a real lady fawning over a cute puppy, when in fact it's an AI model that's learned how to express relevant and appropriate emotion -- in addition to making the same observations we would when we meet a cute dog for the first time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU_4vMu9xFI "GPT-4o ('o' for 'omni') is a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction," OpenAI explains about the update. "It accepts as input any combination of text, audio, and image and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. It can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, which is similar to human response time in a conversation ... GPT-4o is especially better at vision and audio understanding compared to existing models." That last part really speaks to the magic I was alluding to above. During the event on Monday, for example, ChatGPT read a bedtime story (with plenty of whimsy, emotion, and drama added to the narration). In a conversation, it repeats thoughts back to the user for purposes of clarity, and adds hmmms and pauses, just like a human. Does the world need a chatbot to read bedtime stories with the same level of emotion that your parents did when you were young? Honestly, no -- but having said that, it makes the technology much more approachable, similar to the way Apple adding handles to those early candy-colored Macintosh computers was unnecessary but at the time kind of delightful. https://twitter.com/heykahn/status/1790071051172331807 Similarly, OpenAI's voice assistant also now has some pretty impressive abilities when it comes to live-translation, to the point that this part of the demo actually took my breath away. This is what I mean about the big reveal, as I see it, from Monday's OpenAI event. The more the company makes the technology feel delightful, the greater the uptake on ChatGPT is going to be. Be honest: When's the last time a company realized a product or software update that delighted you and felt like magic?

Bindi Irwin was at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, for the Wildlife Warriors Steve Irwin Gala over the weekend. While speaking in honor of her late father, Steve Irwin, she revealed the cute mixup her three-year-old daughter often makes about her grandpa. Bindi said that her baby girl, Grace Warrior, often mistakes her uncle Robert for Steve, who she used to call “grandpa crocodile.” It is no news that Robert resembles the late crocodile hunter, who died on the job while filming in the Great Barrier Reef in 2006.

Bindi credited Steve and her mom, Terri, with being effective parents. She has now carried on these lessons to raise Grace, whom she shares with her husband, Chandler Powell. She thanked her parents for being “there for Robert and me 100% of the time,” regardless of “what was happening in the world, with our conservation work.” RELATED: AI Shares What Steve Irwin Would Look Like On 62nd Birthday As World Remembers Him The 25-year-old also considers it cute that Grace knows her grandfather to be an animal lover despite never meeting him. She ensures to show her videos of Steve, and “so many documentaries” to build a connection between them. “It’s so fun to watch her study him. I didn’t realize how much Dad’s passion for life and his animated facial expressions— I mean, they captivate her,” Bindi told PEOPLE in 2022. Instagram Two decades later It has been about 18 years since the Irwin family lost Steve. However, they have taken it upon themselves to continue his legacy in animal and wildlife conservation. Bindi and her brother marked the last Steve Irwin Day on November 15 on social media with touching tributes to the selfless icon who died from a stingray attack.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Bindi Irwin (@bindisueirwin) Fans also joined the kids in remembering the “Wildlife Warrior” while commending them for keeping his passion alive. Steve’s widow, Terri, has opted to remain single since his passing as she has enjoyed a “big, big love…enough to last a lifetime” with Steve. The fifty-nine-year-old mother of two has been rumored to have dated Russell Crowe and Richard Wilkins, however she debunked such reports and noted that she is way too busy for a new romantic relationship.
