In the past few months, there have been unlimited ChatGPT partnerships as tech companies race to enter the world of artificial intelligence. There is no doubt about the fact that OpenAI did something most of us did not even have the imagination to dream of.
As ChatGPT grows and its user base soars, we see the Chabot being incorporated into many places. ChatGPT is not limited to our phones, apps, and desktop. You can now utilize its powers in your Apple Watch as well.
Petey is the name of the AI assistant by ChatGPT. Petey used to go by the name WatchGPT before naming copyrights. You can download Petey, an AI assistant, for Apple Watch from the App Store. You pay $4.99 for it once when you buy it. It is an Apple Watch-only app.
“The app requires watchOS 9, so it should work on Apple Watch Series 4 and newer models, and it currently supports 14 different languages, with more set to be added over time,” MacRumors said in a report.
WASHINGTON: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said on Monday that he was cutting 9,000 more jobs from the online retail giant’s workforce, following the 18,000 that were axed in January.
“Given the uncertain economy… and the indecision that exists in the near future, we have chosen to be more streamlined in our costs and headcount,” Jassy said in a memo to staff.
The layoffs account for a smaller percentage of Amazon’s total workforce, which ran up to 1.5 million people in December 2022, than the cuts seen at some other tech giants.
Meta has laid off nearly 25% of its estimated workforce in just a few months in what CEO Mark Zuckerberg has called the company’s “year of efficiency” as the US tech sector continues to downsize.
Amazon’s Jassy told his workers that the extra layoffs were essential after more feedback came from departments as the company seeks a way to downsize after years of sustained hiring.

YouTubers have a selection of ways to monetize their channels, including product sales and sponsorships. But Google advertising accounts for a sizable chunk of many YouTube stars’ revenues.
The YouTube Partner Programmed allows social media creators to monetize their videos using Google-placed adverts.
To start earning money directly from YouTube, creators must have at least 1,000 followers and 4,000 watch hours in the previous year. If they reach that amount, they can then apply for YouTube’s Partner Programmed, which enables creators to start generating revenue from their channels through adverts, subscriptions, and channel memberships.
Some YouTubers recently shared their revenue per mile or RPM rates with Insider. The eight creators said that they earned between $1.61 and $29.30 per 1,000 views.
There are several factors that decide how much money a YouTuber would make including not just the number of views but also the location of the audience and the type of content they are producing. Over 20 YouTubers shared their monthly incomes with the outlet, and the number ranged from $82 to $83,000.
