These are the daily tech headlines for Monday, January 6, 2025. I'm Sarah Lane. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced in a blog post Monday that he's confident in achieving Artificial General Intelligence, also known as AGI, and predicted that AI tools will significantly impact company outputs. This year. OpenAI's focus is shifting towards super intelligence tools, surpassing human intelligence to accelerate scientific discovery and prosperity. Altman says OpenAI is currently losing money on its 200 per month ChatGPT Pro subscription because quote people use it much more than we expect it. I personally chose the price and thought we would make some money, end quote. OpenAI also plans to transition to a for profit model, keeping the mission that AGI benefits humanity. All right, let's talk about some ces news at CES 2025, Samsung introduced Vision AI for Samsung TVs, promising better picture quality and optimized sound with AI upscaling audio, HDR remastering, Adaptive Sound Pro and Color Booster Pro. Also featuring Microsoft's Copilot in some capacity, although the company was a little cagey about how that would work. The TVs also promise new viewing experiences, such as being able to recreate a dish from a movie or TV show that you're watching with recipes using Samsung Food, which promises to analyze what's in your fridge and build a shopping list of missing ingredients. Samsung AI Home Security makes your TV a Smart Security Hub with Knox Matrix providing end to end encryption for personal data. Samsung is also using AI to power new features like Live Translate for closed captions on live broadcasts in up to seven languages. Also at CES, LG announced new smart TVs featuring a dedicated AI section and integration with Microsoft Copilot. We're seeing a trend here. The rebranded AI Remote will let users use Copilot to organize information using contextual cues. LG also introduced its new AI Chatbot for enhanced search and contextual queries, emphasizing the role of large language models in in its latest TVs. Disney and Fubo have formed a joint venture to combine Hulu plus live TV with Fubo's operations, creating a pay TV service with 6.2 million North American subscribers. Disney will own 70% of the venture, Fubu will hold 30%, but both brands will continue to operate separately. The deal includes a new Fubo sports service featuring Disney's networks like abc, espn, espn, along with a new carriage agreement for these channels. However, Hulu's on demand service not part of the agreement. Last week, Hisense got a jump on Hardware news pre CES by announcing the L9Q laser TV projector featuring a 150 inch display, 5000 lumens brightness, a 6.2.2 channel Dolby Atmos sound system and Google TV integration. No word on pricing, but based on similar previous models could exceed $6,500. Universal Music Group, Concord Music Group and Abkco all sued AI company anthropic back in 2023, alleging copyright infringement for training its language model on song lyrics from over 500 songs without consent. The lawsuit highlighted existing licensed markets being undercut by unlicensed use. A new agreement has Anthropic maintaining guardrails to prevent unauthorized reproduction of lyrics, and publishers can intervene if up. A court ruling on a potential injunction barring future training on copyrighted lyrics is still pending. All right, back to some CES news. Intel unveiled its Core Ultra 200h and 200hxai chips, targeting thin and light notebooks and gaming laptops. The top tier Core Ultra 9 285H features 16 cores and 5.4 GHz speeds. The Core Ultra 9 285HX offers 24 cores and and 5.5 GHz speeds for high performance workloads designed to pair with discrete GPUs. Systems featuring these chips are expected within the next few months along with desktops powered by the KOL Ultra 2002 series, a new AR entry from Haliday Glasses features a near eye Digi window display and a 3.5-inch virtual screen in the upper right field of view. Designed to still be visible in bright sunlight and supporting prescription lenses. Proactive assistance such as a summary about your next meeting, real time translation in up to 40 languages, navigation and discrete message replies are all touted as features. The Haliday Glasses run anywhere between 399 and $499. They connect by Bluetooth and are expected to ship by the end of Q1 this year. Microsoft appears to be using a new tactic for Bing users by mimicking Google's interface when users search for Google without signing into a Microsoft account. When that happens, Microsoft serves up a page that looks a lot like Google. There's a Google like search bar, there's a Doodle style image, there's Google ui, although it's actually Bing. We're going to have a ton of CES news all week, but finally for today, this one's for new parents. LV unveiled the Rise, an $800 app controlled baby bouncer that converts into a bassinet without disturbing the baby. Hopefully so. It's designed for infants up to 6 months old and includes customizable bounce patterns through the LV Rise Sleep and Soothe app. Designed to mimic a caregiver movement, the device is said to meet safe sleep guidelines. It's portable, with a collapsible design and includes a magnetic charger. Pre orders are open now with shipping starting March 14th.
