Tech Bytes: Amazon Prime adds new features for ad-free subscribers
Amazon is now charging extra for high-quality video and audio. Amazon confirmed “Dolby Vision” and “Atmos Surround Sound” are now only available to people who pay an extra $2.99 a month for its ad-free subscription. Ads are new to the service, debuting just two weeks ago.
Lyft has expanded its program that matches female and non-binary riders to similarly-identified drivers. Women+ Connect is now available in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami as well as other locations. The opt-in feature is designed to increase customer and driver safety.
Finally, Open AI is adding a new memory feature to ChatGBT, allowing it to remember personal details from prior conversations. The goal is for the chat-bot to become smarter, and more attuned to your needs over time. Open AI says it’s been trained to not automatically remember certain topics, like health data.
