Sam Altman is attempting to raise $7 trillion.
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI is currently seeking a whopping $7 trillion in funding for a “wildly ambitious tech initiative,” suggests a report from WSJ.

WhatsApp will be compatible with multiple platforms.
Cross-platform texting will soon be supported by WhatsApp, at least in the EU to abide by the Digital Markets Act. This should enable WhatsApp users to text people on other platforms like Telegram and Signal. End-to-end encryption is probably not included in these conversations, so they might not be as safe as native WhatsApp communications.
iPhones that fold are being developed.
It is rumored that Apple is developing a foldable iPad in addition to at least two folding iPhones. Apple is reportedly planning to concentrate on a clamshell foldable that resembles the Galaxy Z Flip5. This foldable is anticipated to be more costly and more durable than other foldables on the market.
