00:52as the administration has imposed tariffs and maintained a tough regulatory stance,

00:57leading to a decline in the market value of major tech companies.

01:01In advancements within technology,

01:04ChetGPT is introducing a new feature that allows it to remember past interactions with users,

01:10enhancing personalized responses.

01:17On the media front, Quartz has undergone significant changes,

01:23resulting in the termination of nearly its entire editorial team,

01:26following a sale to Canadian software company Redbrick.

01:43the Department of Homeland Security has unveiled NEO,

01:47a four-legged robot designed to disrupt smart home devices

01:57to safely manage potentially dangerous situations

02:00by disabling Internet of Things devices that could be used against them.

02:04President Trump announced that he will share updates regarding semiconductor tariffs on Monday

02:10while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One.

02:14This statement indicates ongoing discussions about trade policies related to the technology sector.

02:20Airports are exploring the use of facial recognition technology

02:24to streamline the boarding process,

02:26potentially eliminating the need for boarding passes and check-in by 2028.

02:31In cybersecurity news, a sophisticated spam campaign utilizing OpenAI's language models,

02:44named AkiraBot, has targeted over 80,000 websites by bypassing spam detection filters.

02:50This Python-based framework generates unique AI-driven messages,

02:54tailored to specific sites,

02:56employing advanced techniques to evade security measures

02:58and promote dubious SEO services.

03:20due to the rope fix being part of the GGUF conversion process.

03:23The optimal step size for diffusion sampling algorithm has been integrated into Comfy UI,

03:30allowing for efficient sampling in models like Flux and one with fewer steps.

03:35This plug-and-play solution optimizes the sampling process,

03:40demonstrating significant improvements in workflow efficiency for text-to-image and text-to-video generation.

03:45Lastly, the development of Reforge has been temporarily halted,

03:51as announced by Ponchoviqs in a recent update.
