Amazon's Alexa Upgrade: New Fees
Amazon plans to charge users extra for its upgraded Alexa with generative AI, separate from its Prime membership.
Users will reportedly need to pay a subscription fee for the "more conversational" version of Alexa.
The upgraded Alexa, powered by a large language model, promises better understanding and multi-request capabilities.
Competitors like Google and Apple are also enhancing their assistants with generative AI to improve conversational abilities.
This signals a shift in how Amazon monetizes its AI technology and highlights the ongoing competition among tech giants to improve virtual assistants with advanced AI capabilities.

How to Generate Images on Midjourney Alpha
Midjourney's website is now open to everyone who's made over 100 images. This makes it better when you're asking for images on their Discord.
Here's how:
Check if you've made over 100 images by typing /info in the Midjourney Discord. If you have, go to Midjourney Alpha.
In the main menu, look at other creations and search for prompts.
Click on "imagine" and type in what you want the image to be.
You can add a reference image by clicking "+" or adjust things like image size, style, or how strange it is using the "slider control" button.
