📈 Google Gemini overtakes ChatGPT in app charts LINK
  • Google's Gemini is now the most downloaded free iPhone app in the US according to Apple's latest charts, moving the previously dominant ChatGPT into the second spot on the list.
  • The app's sudden leap to the top is likely driven by buzz surrounding its new, free Nano Banana AI image editor, which is built directly into the main Gemini software.
  • This editing tool lets people change scenarios or backgrounds in a photo using natural language prompts while keeping the main subject's original appearance consistent throughout all the modifications.
👓 Snap unveils Snap OS 2 LINK
  • Snap unveiled Snap OS 2.0 for its developer-only Spectacles, adding functional apps like an improved web browser with voice input, a new gallery, and live translation tools to make the glasses more practical.
  • The software introduces two AI translation apps: one for voice-to-text conversations with speech bubbles and another that translates text from real-world objects in your field of view.
  • Users can now watch videos recorded on the glasses in a new gallery app or view trending clips from Snapchat’s Spotlight feed with comments appearing in a separate window.
🤝 US and China reach TikTok framework deal LINK
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the US and China have a “framework” deal for TikTok, confirming that the commercial terms between two private parties have been fully agreed upon.
  • Just before the news broke, President Donald Trump hinted on his Truth Social platform that an agreement was reached to save a company very much wanted by young people.
  • This agreement was announced only days before the fourth TikTok ban deadline on September 17, as delegations from both countries met in Madrid to discuss economic policy matters.
📉 China rules that Nvidia violated its antitrust laws LINK
  • China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) issued a preliminary finding that Nvidia violated antitrust law by not following the rules set for its 2020 Mellanox Technologies acquisition.
  • The regulator began its anti-monopoly investigation last December after the US announced new export controls, and the timing of this statement appears linked to upcoming US-China trade talks.
  • As a result of the violation, the chipmaker could be fined up to 10 percent of its previous year's sales and may also be forced to change its business practices.
🕵️ North Korean hackers used ChatGPT for fake military IDs LINK
  • The North Korean hacking group Kimsuky used ChatGPT to craft a deepfake of a South Korean military identification card to make their targeted phishing attempt appear much more credible.
  • Instead of a real document, the email linked to malware capable of extracting data from the devices of journalists, human rights activists, and researchers who were targeted by the attack.
  • Cybersecurity firm Genians discovered the scheme and found they could bypass ChatGPT’s refusal to create government IDs by simply altering the prompt, reproducing the fake for their own investigation.
📰 Rolling Stone publisher sues Google over AI summaries LINK
  • Penske Media, the publisher of Rolling Stone, filed a lawsuit against Google claiming the company illegally uses its copyrighted articles to create answers for its AI Overviews feature.
  • The lawsuit argues Google now forces publishers to supply their content for AI summaries that cannibalize search referrals as a condition for being included in standard web results.
  • The publisher states it has seen “significant declines in clicks from Google searches” since the tool launched, which hurts the ad and subscription revenue that depends on site visits.
