Tuesday, January 20th, 2026 – 12:01 am OpenAI Gets Over Its Ad-bivalence Finally, the long-awaited day is almost here.  After years of hedging and will-they-won’t-they speculation regarding the launch of a ChatGPT ads model, OpenAI announced on Friday that it’s going to begin testing ads within its main AI chatbot for users in the US. The ads will only appear in ChatGPT’s free and Go tiers (the latter being its lowest-cost subscription option, introduced as an option for US customers the same day). Fidji Simo, CEO of Applications at OpenAI, is adamant that paid ads won’t affect product recommendations that ChatGPT deems “objectively useful,” nor will users’ data and conversations be sold to advertisers, per the announcement . Simply put, OpenAI wants to assure users that “ads do not influence the answers ChatGPT gives .” There’s a lot of certainty about what the ad business won’t look like. But what, exactly, it will look like isn’t set in stone. (And we all know Sam Altman’s take on ads is famously inconsistent .) For now, ads will exist at the bottom of ChatGPT feed and be clearly identified and separate from the organic recommendation. And the first ads will be part

Aphex Twin is currently drawing more monthly YouTube listeners than Taylor Swift, according to official streaming numbers. READ MORE:   Aphex Twin at Printworks, London: still one of the greatest electronic shows on earth The Cornwall experimental producer is currently clocking a total of 448million monthly listeners on YouTube’s streaming service YouTube Music as of today (January 17), well out-performing pop superstar Swift, who is currently sitting on 399million monthly listeners. The numbers on YouTube Music are derived from a metric that includes activity across all parts of YouTube, encompassing audio streams on YouTube Music and music video streams on artists’ official pages on YouTube itself. Crucially, it also includes music consumed passively on YouTube Shorts and fan-generated content, and it is believed that this is how Aphex Twin has managed to rack up such huge numbers. Some, including DJ RamonPang, have observed that the widespread viral use of Aphex Twin’s 2001 track ‘QKThr’ on many videos in recent months (via  Resident Advisor ) is likely to have boosted the figures. In 2014, writer and artist David Rees released an Aphex Twin-Taylor Swift mashup album, titled ‘AphexSwift’. ““I actually think Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) and Taylor Swift have a lot in common besides their songwriting talents – or, at least, they

In theory, I use social media solely to promote my work. In practice, I check it addictively. Even knowing it is a time-sink, I sit and scroll through aspirational interiors, influencers with filtered-to-perfection skin and occasionally interesting posts from people I like. I have ceded many hours, probably days, to these platforms that give so little and take so much. 2025 was a tough year in my life, and I used my phone as respite from the hard things happening around me. I half-read news articles and flicked between apps. When I had to put my phone down, I listened to podcasts in the shower and audiobooks while going to sleep. It’s no great revelation that smartphones pull us away from our immediate surroundings and the people closest to us, rendering us, as the American sociologist Sherry Turkle puts it, “forever elsewhere”.

These are heavy condemnations from big thinkers. But when life is hard, a portable experience-blocker that can

A judge approved Google’s $30 million settlement to families over accusations it invaded kids’ privacy on YouTube – and people eligible to benefit from the class-action suit need to file by Jan. 21 to claim their award. US Magistrate Judge Susan van Keulen on Tuesday gave the final stamp of approval to the settlement, ending a six-year legal battle in which parents claimed Google violated children’s privacy by collecting data while they watched YouTube videos. The 2019 lawsuit alleged YouTube “baited” kids into watching cartoons and nursery rhymes, collected their data without parental consent and then profited from that data as they used it to better advertise to minors. A judge approved Google’s $30 million settlement to families over accusations it invaded kids’ privacy on YouTube. AlexPhotoStock – stock.adobe.com Google, which owns YouTube, did not admit to any wrongdoing in the settlement. The company did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. The class of people entitled to settlement payments includes all people in the US who were under 13 and watched content “allegedly directed to children on YouTube” between July 1, 2013, and April 1, 2020, according to the ruling. To receive a settlement payment, class members
