ChatGPT has had support for voice conversations since the end of 2023, but if youre new to OpenAIs chatbot, figuring out how to converse with it can be tricky since there are a couple of ways to go about it. In this guide, I'll explain the main differences between ChatGPT's two voice modes and how to use both of them. What is ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode? As of the writing of this article, OpenAI offers two different ways of interacting with ChatGPT using your voice: Standard and Advanced. The former is available to all users, with usage counting against ones message limit. Advanced, meanwhile, has more granular restrictions. As a free user, OpenAI offers a monthly preview of the tool. Subscribing to the companys $20 per month Plus plan allows you to use Advanced Voice daily. OpenAI notes daily limits may change, but either way, the company promises to notify users 15 minutes before theyre about to hit their usage cap. Pro users can use Advanced Voice as much as they want, provided they do so in a way thats reasonable and complies with the companys policies. Outside of those limits, the primary difference between the two modes is the sophistication of the underlying models powering them. Per OpenAI, Advanced Voice is natively multi-modal, meaning it can process more than just text input. In practice, this translates to Advanced Voice offering capabilities that arent possible with Standard Mode, which is limited to reading a transcript of what you say to your phone. In addition to hearing your voice, ChatGPT in Advanced Voice can simultaneously process video and images. Its even possible to screen share with the chatbot, making it possible for it to guide you through using an app on your phone. Additionally, OpenAI says Advanced Voices multi-modality means ChatGPT can produce a more natural voice and is better able to pick up non-verbal cues. How do you start a voice conversation with ChatGPT? Igor Bonifacic for Engadget As mentioned above, OpenAI offers two different ways of interacting with ChatGPT using your voice. The steps below will show you how to access them on your iPhone or Android device. First, you need to download the ChatGPT app (Android, iOS). The features detailed in this guide arent available through the ChatGPT integration offered by Apple through its AI suite. To use Standard mode, tap the microphone icon to the right of the Message bar. If you need to grant the ChatGPT app access to your phones microphone, you can do so through its settings menu. After ChatGPT begins recording your prompt, tap the checkmark icon for the chatbot to start processing your question. If you want it to discard what you said, press the x icon. To use Advanced Mode, tap the waveform icon to the right of the Message bar. Tap the microphone icon if you want to mute your phones mic. You can exit Advanced Mode at any time by pressing the x icon. How do you share a photo of your screen with ChatGPT while having a voice conversation? If you want to screen share with ChatGPT or share a photo or video with it, tap the three-dots icon and select Share Screen, Upload Photo or Take Photo. If you dont see those options, update to the latest version of the ChatGPT app. You may also live in a country where OpenAI isnt offering those features yet. See below for more information. How many voice options are available? The first time you use Advanced Voice Mode, youll be prompted to select a tone of voice for ChatGPT. Right now, OpenAI offers nine different options. Ive listed them below, along with the companys descriptions of each one.

The Department of Justice and the FBI shared today that they have completed a project to remove malware used by Chinese hackers from computers in the US. The effort was essentially a court-approved counter-hack that remotely deleted malware known as PlugX from more than 4,200 computers. The agencies will notify the US owners of those impacted machines about the operation through their internet service providers. According to the DOJ press release, hacker groups known as Mustang Panda and Twill Typhoon received backing from the Chinese government to use PlugX to infect, control and gather information from computers outside China. The action to delete the PlugX malware from US computers began in August 2024. It was conducted in cooperation with French law enforcement and with Sekoia.io, a France-based private cybersecurity company. Sekoia.io has found PlugX malware in more than 170 countries. The Mustang Panda group has been conducting infiltration efforts around the world since at least 2014. For instance, cybersecurity firm ESET found that Mustang Panda gained access to cargo shipping companies' computers in Norway, Greece and the Netherlands in March. And the group was one of several China-linked hacking organizations identified as compromising telecommunications systems across the Asia-Pacific region in reports last summer.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/doj-remotely-cleaned-thousands-of-computers-infected-with-chinese-malware-191837967.html?src=rss

Meta is preparing for even more layoffs, according to reporting by Bloomberg. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a company memo that he plans on cutting about five percent of its "low-performers." Ive decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low-performers faster, Zuckerberg said in the memo. We typically manage out people who arent meeting expectations over the course of a year, but now were going to do more extensive performance-based cuts during this cycle. All told, this could result in 10 percent fewer staff at Meta, once attrition is accounted for. Bloomberg suggested that the forthcoming pink slips will focus on people who have been with the company long enough to receive a performance rating. Between increased layoffs and attrition, nearly 7,000 Meta staff might be leaving the company in the near future. This follows a firing spree that began in late 2022, eventually impacting over 20,000 workers. The company also laid off 60 technical program managers earlier this month. "A leaner org will execute its highest priorities faster. People will be more productive, and their work will be more fun and fulfilling," Zuckerberg said in 2024. Nothing says fun and fulfilling like living in constant fear of being fired. Meta has had an unusual year so far. We are only halfway through January and the Zuck has already ended third-party fact checking across Meta platforms, appointed UFC CEO Dana White to Metas board and took a trip to Mar-a-lago to bend the knee. The company also changed its "Hateful Content" policy to make it safer for homophobes and it came out that Instagram had been shadowbanning common LGBTQ hashtags.
