Twitter is reportedly raising Blue subscription's pricing on iOS to $11 📈
When Twitter's Blue subscription comes back, it may cost a lot more than before if you purchase it straight from the app. According to The Information, the company informed some employees that it's going to charge users $11 for Blue subscription if they pay through its iOS application. But if they pay through the web, it will only cost them $7 a month for the service, which includes getting the website's blue verification badge. As the publication notes, the change in pricing likely takes Apple's 30 percent commission for payments made through its system into account.

Elon Musk turns Twitter into 'hotel' for staff 🛌
The BBC has been given photos of Twitter office space that has been converted into bedrooms, which San Francisco authorities are probing as a possible building code violation.
One image shows a room with a double bed, including a wardrobe and slippers.
An ex-worker said new Twitter boss Elon Musk has been staying at the headquarters since he bought the firm.
Comment: Not content with breaking Twitter's own rules, it appears Elon Musk is breaking San Francisco's too.

Microsoft Teams takes on Facebook groups with community hubs 🧑🤝🧑
Microsoft Teams is now useful for organizing more than just your company meetings. Microsoft has introduced a communities feature on Android and iOS that effectively offers an alternative to Facebook groups for more personal uses — think of your softball team, a carpooling group or the local parent-teacher association. You can chat and make video calls, of course, but you can also arrange events, post messages and share documents.
Comment: Very interesting and surprise development. LinkedIn may have missed their chance to lead on Groups to a another Microsoft product.

ChatGPT Is Mind-Blowing — Everything You Need To Know ⚒️
What is ChatGPT? ChatGPT is OpenAI’s latest language model, specifically trained for interactions by conversation. Since the release of GPT-3, many problems have surfaced, such as the AI not being able to respond to some questions very well or making up information. While you can try to change the prompt (i.e. the text given to the AI), it is still you that is trying to cue the AI. But logically, it would be much better if the AI instead cued you. That is, instead of trying to iteratively rephrase a question to make the AI understand what you are looking for and answer correctly, the AI should simply ask you if it doesn’t understand in a conversational manner.
Comment: Mind blowing is right. AI is going to play an increasing role for research and content creation in social media. Let me know what you think. You can try it here: https://chat.openai.com/chat
