OpenAI has debuted a new workspace interface for ChatGPT called Canvas. The AI giant unveiled its new ChatGPT workspace on its official blog and immediately made it available for ChatGPT Plus and Team users. Enterprise and Edu users will be able to access Canvas sometime next week.
Canvas is a virtual interface space for writing and coding projects that allows users to consult with ChatGPT on certain portions of a project. A separate window opens besides the main chat space and users can put writing or code on this new “canvas” and highlight sections to have the model focus on and edit “like a copy editor or code reviewer,” according to the blog.
Canvas can either be opened manually by typing “use canvas” in your prompt. Canvas can also automatically open when it “detects a scenario in which it could be helpful,” according to the blog post. There are also several shortcuts that can be used for writing and coding projects. For writing projects, users can ask ChatGPT for suggested edits or length adjustments, or ask it to change the reading level of a block of text, from graduate school level down to kindergarten. It can also add "relevant emojis for emphasis and color."
Coders can have ChatGPT review their code and add inline suggestions for improvements. It can also mark up your work with logs and comments to aid in debugging and make understanding your code easier. It's also capable of fixing bugs and port coding to a different language such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C++ or PHP in Canvas mode.
OpenAI’s Canvas feature brings ChatGPT in line with other AI assistants that have separate workspaces to focus on certain areas of a project like Anthropic's Artifacts and the coding focused AI model Cursor.
Update, October 4, 12:55PM ET: This story was edited after publishing to include more context on the code and text functionality of the Canvas feature.

In 1984, Swatch unleashed something no one saw coming—a World Breakdance Championship that merged music, art, and movement into one unstoppable force. Held in New York City, this event fused the raw energy of street culture with the creativity of one of the most iconic artists of the time, Keith Haring. For me, at the age of 10, this was a magical moment. I was deep in my prime, fully immersed in the “new wave” age of breakdancing, which felt as fresh and full of energy as it does in my memory today. It wasn’t just an event; it was a cultural explosion that left its mark on the decade—and on me.
Designer: Swatch
Now, forty years later, Swatch is cranking up the time machine and launching the BREAK FREE Collection, a vibrant tribute to the past with a jolt of modern flair. The watches—BREAKS OFF, BREAK LOOSE, and BREAK TIME—are wearable celebrations of that historic moment, all while bringing Swatch’s signature playfulness back to the forefront. Even as I sit here four decades removed from those days, the memories of breakdance battles, neon lights, and the heartbeat of ’80s street culture feel not so distant.
But don’t worry, this isn’t some boring nostalgia trip. It’s a wild, BIOCERAMIC-fueled ride that asks a simple question: What if we could break free again?
BREAKS OFF: A Blast of Pure Street Energy
If there’s a watch in this collection that screams, “I’m here to have fun,” it’s BREAKS OFF. Imagine taking the 1984 event poster and giving it legs (and arms and a lot of movement). That’s what’s happening on the dial. Haring’s iconic figures are in full swing, dancing across the face in a riot of neon colors that’ll make any other watch in your collection look like it’s taking a nap.
BREAKS OFF
The watch’s square BIOCERAMIC case feels as smooth as a breakdancer’s footwork, and the green matte strap adds just the right punch of modern-day swagger. Flip it over, and you’ve got Haring’s hand-drawn Swatch logo stamped on the back, like a little hidden gem from history. It’s bold, it’s bright, and it’s ready to make some noise. If you’re into street art or breakdancing (or just want a watch that knows how to have a good time), BREAKS OFF is your ticket.
BREAK LOOSE: Stripped Down and Ready to Move
While BREAKS OFF is loud and proud, BREAK LOOSE is cool and calm. This is monochrome done right—black and white, simple, but with an edge that can’t be ignored. The breaker figure from Haring’s original design stays front and center, but without the color, the focus shifts to the sharp, clean lines. It’s like watching a street artist lay down perfect spray-paint strokes in black and white—minimal but somehow more powerful for it.
BREAK LOOSE
Wrapped in a matte black BIOCERAMIC case, BREAK LOOSE is sleek and understated but unmistakably Haring. The silver-colored hands add just enough pop to keep things interesting, and, of course, you still have that iconic logo on the back. This watch is for those who want something bold but without the need to shout about it. Wear it confidently because BREAK LOOSE doesn’t need to scream to make its point.
BREAK TIME: Retro Vibes Meet Modern Style
BREAK TIME is where retro cool meets modern-day tech. Inspired by the watch given to the winners of the original 1984 event, this model brings those vintage vibes into the 21st century with a fresh BIOCERAMIC twist. The orange case makes a statement (without having to *actually* say anything), and the colorful, kinetic dial looks like it’s ready to leap off your wrist and start breakdancing at any moment.
BREAK TIME
What’s great about BREAK TIME is that it doesn’t just live in the past. The cutting-edge materials and smooth matte finish are pure Swatch ingenuity, making it both a collector’s item and a functional, everyday piece. Whether you’re reminiscing about the days of classic street culture or want something that stands out from the pack, BREAK TIME brings nostalgia and the modern punch you didn’t know you needed.
Bringing It All Together: The 1984 Spirit Lives On
The Swatch BREAK FREE Collection doesn’t mess around. It takes one of the most iconic moments in street culture—the 1984 World Breakdance Championship—and smashes it together with Swatch’s irreverent attitude toward design. Haring’s artwork was all about movement and creativity, and this collection embodies that, whether in the bold colors of BREAKS OFF, the clean minimalism of BREAK LOOSE, or the retro-modern fusion of BREAK TIME.
As Haring once said, “That’s what kind of art interests me the most and always has; invention and some kind of, not endowing but, embodying some kind of basically human spirit into an object. Whether it’s on a canvas, or on an object, or a carved piece of wood or whatever this thing is, it’s this transformation of these raw materials by a human spirit or a human thought.”
For Haring, it wasn’t just about art for art’s sake—it was about injecting a human spirit into every piece, transforming raw materials into something that reflects thought, creativity, and energy. That philosophy shines through in the BREAK FREE Collection. Swatch has taken the raw materials of its innovative BIOCERAMIC design and infused them with Haring’s vision—each watches a living embodiment of both art and human expression. It’s a reminder that art doesn’t stay on the canvas; it moves, transforms, and lives on your wrist, just as it lived on the streets in 1984.
Each watch features Swatch’s signature BIOCERAMIC materials, making them lightweight, smooth, and comfortable—because, let’s be real, no one wants a clunky, heavy watch slowing them down. And that little surprise on the back? Haring’s hand-drawn Swatch logo makes a return, tying each piece back to the magic of the 1984 event. It’s a subtle nod to the past, hidden away for the wearer to enjoy.
Swatch has always been about taking risks and doing things differently. Hosting the first-ever World Breakdance Championship was a wild idea, perfectly reflecting the brand’s ethos. Forty years later, the BREAK FREE Collection asks us all to tap into that same energy. It’s about letting loose, embracing creativity, and, above all, having fun. For me, it’s a time to reflect on those glorious breakdancing days of my youth when I felt like anything was possible. Swatch is still pushing boundaries, and this collection proves that the spirit of those times hasn’t faded one iota.
Available in Swatch stores and online from October 3, 2024, this collection is for anyone who wants a little bit of history, a little bit of art, and a whole lot of style. Whether you’re a breakdance aficionado or just looking for a timepiece with personality, the BREAK FREE Collection has got you covered.
Tesla issued another recall for more than 27,000 Cybertrucks. This is the fifth time the electric truck has been recalled in the last year.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued the recall due to an image delay from the rear-view camera. The delayed rear-view camera failed to produce an image to the driver of what’s driving behind them within the legally required two seconds, “increasing the risk of a crash,” according to the official recall notice.
Reuters reports that the camera display is caused by a software glitch in the Cybertruck’s system. Some vehicles failed to complete the shutdown process before booting up again, causing a noticeable delay in the rear-view camera of up to eight seconds. So far, no crashes or injuries have occurred as a result of the software issue. Tesla is issuing a software update to address the rear-camera display delays.
This recall is just the latest in a string of notices and hiccups for the D-minus geometry project on wheels just this year. Tesla announced in April that it had to delay deliveries of the Cybertruck because of accelerator issues, a problem that prompted one of its most infamous recalls later that month due to sticky accelerator pedals.
Delivery delays led to another recall for the Cybertruck in June due to safety issues with the windshield wiper motor and trim. Several Cybertruck owners including some who just picked up their vehicle reported that the wipers failed to work.
Even virtual versions of the Cybertruck had to undergo repairs shortly after its release. The Cybertruck made an appearance in Fortniteas part of the game’s Summer Road Trip promotion but several players reported a weird glitch when they tried to morph a vehicle into Tesla’s signature truck. Epic Games pushed out a fix for the bug sometime later.

They say your fashion choices are a reflection of your inner self. If that’s true, these shoes easily help channel your inner beast. Designed as a collaboration between rapper A$AP Rocky and PUMA, the Mostro 3.D is the latest in the partnership between the two. Not just your average shoe, the Mostro 3.D redefines the conventional, pushing the boundaries of design with a ferocity that commands attention. Drawing inspiration from the synergy of music, art, and technology, this collaboration elevates sneaker culture to new heights. Forget traditional aesthetics; this is all about unleashing the unexpected. With its red and black colorway, and the fiesty, scaly design achieved by 3D printing, the Mostro tries to grab eyeballs in ways that high fashion usually does – by being so audaciously different that you’re sure to make a statement.
Central to the Mostro 3.D’s allure is its groundbreaking use of 3D printing technology. Crafted through an advanced resin-based process, the shoe boasts a level of intricacy previously unattainable with conventional methods. This innovation translates into an arrestingly detailed silhouette, replete with audacious spikes that echo a futuristic, almost otherworldly presence. The sleek slip-on design serves not just as a convenience but as an aesthetic declaration of defiance against the norm. The gradient of black and red, achieved through a meticulous airbrush technique, becomes a dynamic canvas, capturing the essence of movement and transformation. Here, technology and artistry coexist in a harmonious dance, each pushing the other to create something truly transformative.
A$AP Rocky brings his raw, urban edge, infusing the project with an authenticity that resonates deeply with the streets. Conversely, PUMA’s legacy of innovation and its embrace of modern technology find a perfect playground in these shoes. It’s a meeting of rebellious spirit and technical prowess, culminating in footwear that’s as much about narrative as it is about aesthetics. Together, they craft more than a product—they create a voice that speaks to a new generation of fashion-forward thinkers. This is where music’s pulse meets the precision of advanced technology, resulting in an offering that truly transcends the ordinary.
The Mostro 3.D’s spiky, audacious design powerfully mirrors the trail Kanye West blazed with his Yeezy line, where footwear feels more like a wild artifact than a mere shoe. Channeling an almost primal vibe, these kicks tap into a non-human aesthetic that’s as captivating as it is rebellious. Imagine a creature from the Cambrian era, its unique form resurrected through cutting-edge 3D printing technology. Both A$AP Rocky and PUMA have seized this evolutionary inspiration, crafting a shoe that seems to pulse with life—a piece of wearable art that feels plucked from an ancient world, yet firmly planted in the future. This is more than just a nod to Yeezy’s avant-garde essence; it’s an evolution, inviting you to embrace a style that’s fiercely instinctual and utterly groundbreaking.
The Mostro 3.D captures a zeitgeist where fashion is not just about appearance but about identity and the courage to stand apart. These shoes are not just worn; they are unleashed—an anthem for those unafraid to make a statement. By challenging conventional means of design and production, A$AP Rocky and PUMA give us not only a glimpse into the future of footwear but also an invitation to take part in it. With the Mostro 3.D, the boundary between fashion and innovation blurs, offering us a tantalizing vision of what’s to come. Welcome to a new era of design where the only limit is imagination.
Samsung TV Plus, the company’s FAST live TV app preinstalled on its TVs, is getting many more K-dramas. Over 4,000 hours of K-Dramas, K-Thrillers, K-Crime and K-Romance from Samsung’s home country of South Korea were added to the ad-supported streaming app on Thursday.
The content comes from partnerships with “Korea’s most acclaimed production companies,” including CJ ENM, NEW ID and the distribution company KT Alpha. Newly added series include Voice 4, Dark Hole and Doom at Your Service (a terrific title if ever there was one). The psychological thriller Beyond Evil will arrive soon.
New unscripted shows are also part of the package. These include food entertainment series like The Genius Paik and Three Meals a Day, along with travel shows House on Wheels and Youn’s Kitchen.
Samsung says it now has the best library of NEW ID and KT Alpha K-Movies in the US. The award-winning Burning (starring Steven Yeun), A Taxi Driver (not the De Niro one but the Kang-ho Song one) and Assassination (starring Squid Game’s Lee Jung-jae) are among those on the Samsung TV Plus now.
“K-Content is no longer niche – it’s one of the fastest growing and most watched categories globally, and Samsung TV Plus is uniquely positioned to deliver an unparalleled experience in this space with an endless offering of premium K-Content,” Salek Brodsky, Senior VP and General Manager of Samsung TV Plus, wrote in a press release.

Uber has entered a new deal to offer customers in select cities an option for self-driving vehicles. The partnership is with Avride, which used to be the self-driving unit for Russian conglomerate Yandex.
The multi-year deal will begin by introducing Avride's self-driving robots as a delivery option for Uber Eats orders in Austin, Texas. Later this year, the robots are expected to become available for delivery orders in Dallas and Jersey City, New Jersey. Autonomous driving is slated to begin service for Uber ride requests in Dallas in 2025. It will only be an option for "qualifying orders" on either Uber or Uber Eats, but the company didn't specify what those qualifications are.
Before spinning out as a new business concern, Yandex landed a similar deal in 2021 for its self-driving robots to make Grubhub deliveries to college campuses in the US. That year its autonomous vehicles reached a milestone of 6 million miles logged under "challenging conditions," mostly traveled in and around Moscow.
Uber had its own department exploring self-driving vehicles. However, it sold the unit to Aurora, another autonomous vehicle company, in December 2020.

Playing The Sims, the virtual life simulator created by sim game maven Will Wright, has always given its players the feeling that they can control life and death. A new expansion for The Sims4 takes that concept even further with the Life & Death pack that launches on Halloween.
The Life & Death expansion pack will take the world of Sims to a new plane of existence. It comes with new career paths, neighborhoods, haunted items and achievements about living life to the fullest until you die.
The biggest addition is a new suburb called Ravenwood that has three new neighborhoods to explore, including Crow’s Crossing, Whispering Glen and Mourningvale. You’ll be able to commune with the souls of the dead until they find a channel to the afterlife, make wishes with and investigate ancient shrines with mysterious powers and explore a cemetery. Each area also has a “Mysterious Merchant” who sells haunted objects and helps you pick out a final resting place during the “Try Before You Die Casket Sale.”
The Life & Death pack’s new achievements don’t just lean on the dead side of things. Your Sims can aspire to live a full life with the “Soul’s Journey” achievement track that offers a chance to “Rebirth a Sim” and create special “Bucket Lists” for young adult or older Sims. Once your Sim dies, they can come back as a ghost to complete unfinished business with the help of the living.
There’s also new career paths in the Life & Death pack that deal more with the darker side of the equation. Sims can pursue a profession on the Undertaker career track to become a mortician or a funeral director and achieve grisly rewards like a “Plague Mask” or a “Corpus Commendation Plaque.” The Reaper career path deals with the living and soon-to-be no longer living. Your Sim will work as the Netherworld Department of Death (NWDD) and train to become a soul reaper giving them the power to take life or give it back if your soul quota is too high.
The Life & Death expansion pack is available for pre-order for PC, Mac, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Xbox One and Series X|S. If you pre-order, you’ll receive some creepy collectibles including the Lasting Legacy Family Portrait, the Mournful Melodies Music Box and the Plumed Elegance Mask.

Gemini Live, Google’s AI chatbot you can talk to like a person, is about to support more languages. The company is rolling out support for the generative AI virtual assistant in over 40 languages in the coming weeks.
Gemini Live is Google’s take on “free-flowing, natural conversations” in this new generative AI era. You can use it for things like brainstorming for events, diving down learning rabbit holes or practicing for job interview questions (and receiving real-time feedback). Although Google describes it as like talking with a friend, I’m unsure how many would do all of that.
Additionally, the tool will let you chat in two languages on the same device, and further expansion of supported languages is in the works. Multi-language support will also work with Gemini integrations for other Google apps and services, like Google Calendar, Tasks, Keep and Utilities.
You can set your preferred language(s) in the Android app. In the Google app, go to Settings > Google Assistant > Languages, and choose your first preference. If you want a second one, there’s an option below that to “Add a language.”
You’ll need an Android phone to use it. Google hasn’t yet announced any plans to bring Gemini Live to iPhone. At least for now, the company seemingly prefers to use it to attract folks to its own mobile platform.

It is not easy for new players to penetrate the otherwise competitive smartwatch arena. But Garmin is no outsider. Arguably, it is amid the top few in the industry. No wonder, the GPS-enabled consumer tech specialist is increasing its profile with the addition of a women-first watch that’s stylish, features built-in GPS, and comes with all the health and wellness features of a connected smartwatch.
Called the Lily 2 Active, this is the smallest GPS-enabled smartwatch in the Garmin family. Perhaps for some that could mean the Lily 2 Active cuts corners, but it’s far from the fact. It’s a small, but fashionable feature-focused smartwatch that comes with nine days of battery life – if you are not using the GPS. With the GPS running all the time, the watch will trim the usage down to nine hours before requiring a recharge.
Of course, the Lily 2 Active has been created with a primary emphasis on women’s health tracking features. So, the watch can be used to keep track of the menstrual cycles, pregnancies, and also monitor the different sleep stages. Small but durable the watch has a metal casing and a hidden display that comes to life on a tap or with movement of the wrist.
The watch is provided with two push buttons to select activities or toggle between screens. It comes preinstalled with workout features for cardio, yoga, tennis, dance fitness, strength training and more. Interestingly, the user can download the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and yoga sessions to view the workout on the Lily 2 Active’s screen. With the videos playing directly on the wrist, you can ensure to follow the workout correctly even when you are outdoors without access to a larger screen device.
Since it is designed with all the health monitoring and wellness features, the smartwatch allows the wearer to keep track of their different sleep stages along with the continuous monitoring of the heart rate, Pulse Ox2, stress, and respiration. It accumulates information about the user’s night sleep and grants insight into their sleep quality with other wellness details in the morning. Built-in GPS can keep track of your outdoor activities, including walks, runs and more.
Lily 2 Active is compatible with Garmin’s Connect smartphone app and lets you make contactless payments using Garmin Pay. The watch works error-free with iOS and Android and comes in three color variants: Lunar Gold with Bone silicon strap, Silver with a Purple Jasmine silicon strap, and Jasper Green with a Jasper Green silicone strap for $300 apiece.
