X's new AI image generator will make anything
xAI’s Grok chatbot now lets X Premium subscribers create images from text prompts, leading to content like Barack Obama doing cocaine, Donald Trump with a pregnant woman resembling Kamala, etc. However, Grok refused to generate a single request: an image of a naked woman.
Grok will tell you it has guardrails if you ask, which probably aren't real rules, as responses vary when asked multiple times, with different policies each time.
Unlike OpenAI, which restricts prompts for real people and harmful content, Grok’s approach aligns with Musk’s disregard for standard AI safety norms amid ongoing investigation from the European Commission.

Geekbench AI Announced
Primate Labs — the makers of Geekbench has introduced the Geekbench AI app, a cross-platform AI benchmarking tool designed to evaluate the performance of AI workloads using real-world machine learning tasks. The new benchmarking tool was previously known as Geekbench ML during its preview stage
It asses how the CPU, GPU, and NPU perform in machine learning tasks and bases its score on accuracy and speed. Each test run on Geekbench AI delivers 3 scores - single precision, half-precision, and quantized. Scores also have an accuracy measurement to them to see how accurately the models can accomplish tasks & there’s a comparison to relative efficiency over time. Each workload is tested for at least five iterations to ensure devices reach their peak during testing.
Geekbench AI supports many AI frameworks including CoreML for macOS & iOS, OpenVINO for Windows & Linux, QNN for Snapdragon-powered Arm PCs as well as vendor-specific frameworks for Android devices.

OnePlus India Offers Upgrade Vouchers to Customers Affected by Green Line Issue OnePlus India has announced new vouchers to upgrade their phones for those affected by green lines issues on previous OnePlus models OnePlus 7 series and below: ₹12,000 (~150$)…
OnePlus Silently Changes its Green Lines Issues Policy
OnePlus recently announced vouchers for affected green lines users of OnePlus 8 and 9 series users. For example users can grab a OnePlus 11R for just 50$ by exchanging a OnePlus 9R affected with green lines
Recently, Samsung also announced display replacement for FREE for green lines issues on Galaxy S20 and S21 series (including Note and FE models) but on a condition that the device should NOT be more than 3yrs old from the date of purchase. Unlike Samsung which already clarified to users about the device age, OnePlus did it quietly. OnePlus is now denying users of vouchers if their device is more than 3yrs old
Many users with their 9R affected with green lines were denied a voucher for 11R just because their device was more than 3 years old even if its just 10 days. So the only option is now screen replacement with around Rs. 500 (~6$) labor charge fee

USA Considers Breaking Up Google
A federal judge ruled in favour of US's Department of Justice (DoJ) that Google violated US antitrust law by maintaining a monopoly in the search and advertising markets. The judge's decision was historic, as it was the first time an American company was found guilty by an American court in the past 40 years.
Thus, acc to Bloomberg, the DoJ plans to separate Android and Chrome from Google, and maybe forcing Google to sell AdWords platform. These are the worst propositions discussed, but there are less severe measures to prevent Google from gaining a monopoly, including forcing the company to share more data with competitors and measures to prevent it from gaining an unfair advantage in AI products & abusing its position.
The US authorities tried something similar with Microsoft two decades ago and failed, and now time will tell if it will succeed in pushing Google to divest Chrome, Android, and AdWords, its most lucrative businesses.

What will Happen to Mozilla Firefox?
Google has been declared monopolistic in the search and advertising markets. The US Justice and states had sued Google, accusing it of illegally cementing its dominance, in part, by paying other companies, like Apple and Samsung, billions of dollars a year to have Google automatically handle search queries on their smartphones and web browsers.
Since the US federal court ruled in favour of states, thus, the DoJ is planning to break Google apart by taking measures to even separate Chrome and Android & the DoJ may also consider forcing Google to sell their AdWords Platform.
However, Google's deal with Mozilla Firefox makes up 81% of their revenue. According to the Mozilla Foundation's 2021–2022 financial statement, which is the most recent one published, $510 million out of its $593 million in revenue came courtesy of Google's search payments.
So if Google STOPS paying Mozilla, will the Firefox survive?
