🚀 Welcome to the March 4th edition of AI Unraveled. Today, the "walled gardens" of tech are being redesigned. Apple has just lowered the drawbridge with the most affordable MacBook in a decade, while OpenAI is reportedly building its own GitHub to escape the outages and oversight of Microsoft. We also dive into the "Anti-Cringe" update for ChatGPT and the sobering reality of "AI world models" hitting the factory floor.
