Amazon Says Prime Deliveries Are Getting Faster

Amazon has significantly accelerated its Prime delivery service, achieving over 2 billion same or next-day deliveries to Prime members in the first quarter of 2024 alone.

The company notes that nearly 60% of Prime orders in 60 major U.S. metropolitan areas are now fulfilled within a day.

The expansion of faster delivery options comes as Amazon continues to invest heavily in its logistics capabilities, including an in-house fulfillment network with planes, trucks, drones, and robots, aimed at competing with traditional shipping companies like FedEx and UPS.

What Am I Watching
Boston Dynamics Made Their Dog… A Dog

Recently, the Verge recommended Boston Dynamics enshroud their bots in some kind of hair because more hair = less scare. Yesterday, they did just that by showing off a sparkly blue dog costume for their Spot robot.

It’s one of those videos that makes you ask yourself, “what the hell am I watching right now.”

ChatGPT Remembers Preferences Of Paying Customers

OpenAI has improved ChatGPT with a new "Memory" feature, now available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers outside Europe and Korea.

This functionality allows the AI to remember user preferences and details across sessions, transforming ChatGPT into a more personalized assistant.

Users can instruct ChatGPT on specific memories to retain or have it learn from ongoing interactions — making interactions more efficient by recalling user preferences like meeting note styles or personal details relevant to tasks.

This feature will also be rolled out to ChatGPT Enterprise and Teams subscribers, with plans to expand to custom GPTs in the GPT Store, though specific timelines for these extensions were not disclosed.

Files On-Demand
Microsoft Rolling Out OneDrive’s Offline Mode

Microsoft has begun deploying a new offline mode for OneDrive on the web — available to work and school account users.

This update allows users to access and manage files without an internet connection, enhancing the service's utility with capabilities to open, rename, sort, move, and copy files offline. The changes will then sync once connectivity is restored.

The enhancement builds on the existing Files On-Demand feature, which is integrated into File Explorer on Windows and Finder on macOS, allowing users to select which files are always available on their device.
