What to expect from WWDC 2024: iOS 18, macOS 15 and so much AI
Whereas last year’s WWDC will be remembered as the event that finally introduced the world to the Vision Pro, the company is hoping to make next week’s event even more memorable as it finally spells out its generative AI plans. WWDC’s opening salvo is different from other Apple keynotes, in that it’s the kickoff to a weeklong online and in-person event, running from June 10 to 14. While the company began opening things up more to the public during the pandemic, it’s important to remember the reason for the season: Much like Google I/O and Microsoft Build before it, the true purpose for the event is showcasing the latest updates for developers.

AI apocalypse? ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity all went down at the same time
After a multi-hour outage that took place in the early hours of the morning, OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot went down again — but this time, it wasn't the only AI provider affected. On Tuesday morning, both Anthropic's Claude and Perplexity began seeing issues, too, but these were more quickly resolved. It's unusual for three major AI providers to all be down at the same time, which could signal a broader infrastructure issue or internet-scale problem, such as those that affect multiple social media sites simultaneously, for example.

TikTok acknowledges exploit targeting high-profile accounts
TikTok says its security team is addressing an issue that allowed hackers to compromise several high-profile celebrity and brand accounts on its video platform, including those belonging to Paris Hilton, CNN and Sony. The ByteDance-owned video app maker didn't provide any information about the nature of the attack or the company's mitigation techniques, instead saying only that it had taken measures to stop the attack and prevent it from happening in the future. The malicious attack, as reported earlier by Semafor and Forbes, appears to have involved malware transmitted through TikTok's direct messages and may have affected the account owners' ability to access their TikTok profiles.
