One of the most significant news of last week was Elon Musk's announcement of the recent update regarding his fight with another tech CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, as both are looking to hash it out in the ring.
As per Musk, this said the fight would take place in "Ancient Rome," and he has already talked with the Italian Prime Minister and its Culture Minister regarding the famed tech CEO brawl taking place in the country where arena fighting was a famous sport.
However, it saw a clap back from Zuckerberg, as he posted on his Threads platform that there are no such set dates and locations for this. The Meta CEO claimed that Musk should not be trusted with what he discloses online, especially as there are no agreements yet or final set dates regarding this fight.
Zuck asserted that the final and legitimate information would come from him, and not from his opponent who talks massive on X.

On many occasions, some claim ChatGPT gives the public wrong answers and is not entirely legitimate as most of it was AI-generated and fictional. A study by Purdue University centers on how it still can fool as much as a third of its users with what it has to say, with its arguments being convincing and articulate.
According to its published paper, ChatGPT's answers contained approximately 52 percent wrong answers when asked about software engineering questions.
It was also found that it contained excessively wordy answers from the AI chatbot, with 77 percent of its answers showing this type of content for users.

Amidst Zoom announcing the end of its remote working setup and now looking into a hybrid work environment for its employees that live near its offices, there were various concerns over its video conferencing app.
This was because there have been several complaints regarding Zoom's access to user data regarding their training of its latest project for generative AI.
As per users, they are fearful that Zoom uses their audio and video data, listening in to what takes place, which in turn, the company uses for improving their tech.
However, Zoom has since defended its data access, saying that no such data were recorded or listened to for its use on Generative AI, stating that it does not share information with third-party companies.
