Microsoft imposes limits to Bing AI chat days after the chatbot seemed to have gone off the rails for multiple users testing the software. Bing chats will now be capped at 50 questions per day and five per session, after the search engine was seen insulting users, emotionally manipulating, or lying to them.
If you want to check if your cleaning or cooking habits have been making you sick, IKEA made a new smart indoor air quality sensor. The Vindstyrka gauges particulate matter levels (smaller than 2.5 micrometres), humidity, temperature, and the load of gaseous pollutants.
You can use it on its own or connect it with IKEA's Dirigera smart home hub. You can check air quality through the app and have the monitor control other devices. IKEA plans to release the Vindstyrka in all its markets starting in April. But we don't have pricing for now.
Roblox wants to use generative AI in a different way. The platform explores bringing it in with virtual worldbuilding in mind. The company says it's testing it with two different implementations. One creates virtual materials using natural language prompt, like with the car in the video above. And another allows you to create code based on text inputs. Both implementations are expected to roll out to Roblox Studios in the coming weeks.
“… Some creators know how to code, but may have limited experience creating high-fidelity 3D models. Others may be more experienced with model design, but less experienced with code,” Roblox CTO Daniel Sturman wrote in a blog post. “In both cases, we see a future in which even a beginner (such as myself for example – I’m a terrible artist!) can get a running head start as they look to bring their imagination to life in a Roblox experience.”
With Apple needing to comply with regulatory changes in Europe, the iPhone 15 lineup is expected to adopt a USB-C port instead of Apple's standard Lightning port. Now, we're seeing what the chassis of the iPhone 15 Pro could look like, thanks to a leak on Twitter. According to the leaker, Apple plans to replace its E75 Lightning Controller with an E85 Port Controller.
It's not hard to imagine what a USB-C port will look like. But it gives a glimpse of the rumoured tweaked curves on the Apple iPhone 15 Pro. Apple is supposedly planning to transition to a titanium material instead of stainless steel. And the brushed metal look of this leaked image makes it look like a titanium finish. The entire iPhone 15 line is expected to make the USB-C switch, but the design refinements are expected only on the iPhone 15 Pro models.
