OpenAI releases ChatGPT Translate, its version of Google Translate. How does it compare and can it successfully compete against the search giant? Social news aggregation and discussion platform Digg has officially relaunched. What’s it look like? Is an LLM’s output protected by the US Constitution’s first amendment? And are we witnessing a growth in independent media?
Starring Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Robb Dunewood, Andrea Jones-Rooy, Len Peralta, Roger Chang, Joe.
