ChatGPT will create a digital memory to help personalize its responses
OpenAI is adding a feature that will allow ChatGPT to remember both information about individual users and how they want the chatbot to respond to different types of queries. The feature is rolling out to a small number of free and paid ChatGPT Plus subscribers. OpenAI says the memory feature will be made available to business customers once the company is ready to broadly release the feature. An incognito-like mode will be available allowing people to conduct queries without drawing on memories. source : axios
“Super Sick Monday"
16.1 million U.S. employees will be completely absent from work today following Super Bowl Sunday, according to this year’s research from UKG. In 2023, nearly 18.8 million employees said they planned on missing work on Super Bowl Monday. However, 6.4 million further employees plan to come to work late, another 11.2 million are unsure of whether they will come to work, and around 6.4 million will decide what to do on the day. The number jumps up for U.S. employees who plan to miss at least some work on Monday, reaching around 22.5 million employees – 14% of the U.S. workforce. The research also finds six million employees have not yet notified their employers and will call in sick on the day or simply ‘ghost’ their employer on Monday. source : The Harris Pol, UKG Workforce Institute

Mandela's leadership and commitment to equality led to his election as South Africa's first black president in 1994, laying the foundation for the country's democratic transformation.
