This week, we\u2019re looking at GM\u2019s decision to pull out of the robotaxi business, Google alluding to the existence of multiple universes, and how you can make some serious cash by getting an AI bot to fall in love with you. Let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Motors will no longer fund<\/strong> the development of its commercial robotaxi business and will instead absorb Cruise, its self-driving car subsidiary, and combine it with the automaker\u2019s own efforts to develop driver-assistance features \u2014 and eventually fully autonomous personal vehicles. Several Cruise employees told TechCrunch they were \u201cblindsided\u201d by the decision. GM acquired Cruise in 2016 for $1 billion and has since spent more than $10 billion on the company\u2019s efforts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>OpenAI has finally released<\/strong> the real-time video capabilities for ChatGPT that it demoed nearly seven months ago. ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro subscribers can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> to point their phones at objects and have ChatGPT respond in near real time. The feature can also understand what\u2019s on a device\u2019s screen through screen sharing. There are still a few more reveals planned for \u201c12 Days of OpenAI,\u201d so stay up to date with our live blog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Google this week unveiled<\/strong> its first-ever AI agent that can take actions on the web. Called Project Mariner, the Gemini-powered agent takes control of your Chrome browser, moves the cursor on your screen, clicks buttons, and fills out forms, allowing it to use and navigate websites much like a human would. While still a prototype from its DeepMind division, it represents Google\u2019s shift to move users away from interacting with websites directly.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If you\u2019d like to receive Week in Review in your inbox every Saturday, <\/em><em>sign up here<\/em><em>!<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-news\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"News\"><\/span><strong>News<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?w=680\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2927919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?resize=680,383 680w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?resize=430,242 430w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?resize=720,405 720w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?resize=900,506 900w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?resize=800,450 800w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?resize=668,375 668w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?resize=1097,617 1097w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/OwlGame_Duolingo.jpg?resize=708,398 708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Duolingo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Duolingo joins \u201cSquid <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>\u201d: <\/strong>Ahead of the release of the next season of \u201cSquid Game,\u201d Netflix has teamed up with Duolingo to help viewers learn Korean.
