Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 💰 Google is Paying Samsung an ‘Enormous Sum’ to Preinstall Gemini

3. 👀 Will OpenAI Buy Google’s Chrome?
Hypothetically speaking if Google is forced to sell off Chrome… ChatGPT’s Head of Product says they’d be an interested buyer. The Chrome departure is a proposed solution by the US Department of Justice after last year’s ruling that Google is a monopolist in online search. (The Verge)

5. 🍬 FDA is Getting Rid of Artificial Dyes
Say goodbye to the brilliant teal of Mountain Dew Baja Blast and the florescent red of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. The US Food and Drug Administration is phasing out the use of petroleum-based synthetic dyes, like the infamous red dye 40, by the end of next year. (CNBC)
6. 🧍 Character.AI Unveiled its Lifelike AI Chatbot Video Model
Leading AI-generated character chat and roleplay platform Character.AI unveiled its next video generation model, AvatarFX, which creates human-like characters for its platforms users. Available in closed beta, the model is different from competitors like OpenAI’s Sora as it can generate videos from preexisting images, not just from text. (TechCrunch)
7. 🤑 Max Streaming is Cracking Down on Password Sharing
Want to share your HBO Max streaming subscription with a friend? They’ll have to pay for that. Warner Bros. Discovery’s service launched a new feature called ‘Extra Member Add-On’ which allows users to add an extra person outside your household for $7.99/mo, similar to Netflix’s sharing model. (CNBC)
