OpenAI Just Cut ChatGPT Pro’s Price in Half

While ChatGPT may have kicked off the generative AI era we now live in, it is far from alone these days. There is steep competition from multiple companies in this space, including Google, Anthropic, and even Microsoft—which has a huge financial stake in OpenAI. To compete, it seems OpenAI is trying to make its paid subscription plans more attractive to users, as the company just cut the price of ChatGPT Pro in half. ChatGPT Pro now starts at $100As reported by TechCrunch, OpenAI's new pricing model now offers a Pro plan at $100 per month, down from $200 per month. That now gives users a choice between the following: a free plan, which comes with ads; a Go plan offering more usage limits for $8 per month (still with ads); a Plus plan with extra models and exclusive features for $20 per mon...

Why eye donation can significantly reduce burden of corneal blindness

As many as 17,675 visually impaired persons across seven states and 30 cities have regained eyesight through eye donation over the past 24 years, driven by awareness efforts of the Eye Bank Society of Rajasthan, officials said on Sunday. Despite the life-changing impact of eye donation, people are still not coming forward in adequate numbers due to prevailing myths and lack of awareness, the NGO said. According to data shared by the society, a total of 27,307 corneas have been collected since its establishment in 2002, enabling free transplants for thousands of beneficiaries. Society president B L Sharma said lakhs of people are waiting for corneal transplants, and this gap can only be reduced if awareness increases and more people pledge to donate eyes. He said several myths discourag...

Dibyendu Bhattacharya on working with Alia Bhatt in Alpha: `She is a good actor`

Everyone had a funny line and comic timing down to the beat, but Dibyendu Bhattacharya’s character had to keep a straight face. So, while he was excited about joining Maamla Legal Hai 2, he was unsure how audiences would perceive his serious turn in Netflix’s madcap comedy. But since the second season dropped on April 2, the compliments haven’t stopped. “I didn’t understand how people would take this character because everybody is doing comedy except me. But now, I [feel] people have liked my character a lot. They didn’t expect such a twist,” says the actor, who plays a newly-appointed judge in the Patparganj district court. Alia Bhatt and Sharvari For Bhattacharya, the role may not have been big, but its layers made it tempting. “It was tough because I had to be precise as there is a c...

Is Roblox Plus Worth It?

Like many parents, I know well the pain of my Roblox-addicted child asking me to trade my real money for fake money he can use to buy pretend items in a digital video game. So when Roblox announced the April 30 launch of Roblox Plus, a monthly subscription service with perks that could net us a 20% discount on all the digital items, my interest was piqued. But is Roblox Plus actually worth it? Let's do some math.What do you get with Roblox Plus?As noted in today's announcement on the Roblox website, once it launches at the end of this month, the primary benefit of Roblox Plus will be a discount on items purchased with Robux, the platform's in-game currency. Your monthly subscription won't actually come with any Robux (yet, anyway—more on that in a bit), but it does come with the promise th...

Study finds rising cancer rates especially after breast cancer treatment

A population-based study in Japan has revealed a gradual increase in the rates of therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (tAML) in recent years, especially after breast cancer treatment, a study showed on Monday. The findings, published by Wiley online in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, showed that some therapies used to treat cancer may increase the risk of later developing cancers that affect the blood. “tAML” is an aggressive cancer of the blood and bone marrow that develops after prior chemotherapy or radiation for an earlier, primary cancer, likely arising in part due to DNA damage from these treatments. “The study provides an important step towards better understanding how the nature of tAML is changing with the increasing number of cancer survivo...

Critical illness protection gap widening despite rising employer health coverage

Financial protection gap for critical illnesses is widening even as employers and insurers ramp up preventive care and cost sharing mechanisms to shield workers and families from rising treatment costs, a report said on Monday on eve of World Health Day, celebrated on April 7 around the globe. The professional services firm Aon said that employers in India are increasingly investing in preventive care, outpatient benefits, and digital health and wellness solutions, reflecting a broader shift toward proactive health management due to this gap. "Employers are increasingly recalibrating plan structures, introducing cost-sharing mechanisms such as voluntary top-ups, co-pay models, and employee-funded riders," the report said. The firm highlighted that India’s protection gap is high when co...

Spray Your Shoes With Permethrin to Avoid Ticks This Summer

We may earn a commission from links on this page. If you’re grossed out by the idea that you might be bitten by a tick this year (chances are good, to be honest), now is the time to get yourself a bottle of permethrin spray. Permethrin-treating your shoes and pants is one of the simplest ways to set up a barrier between hungry ticks and your delicious, blood-filled flesh. Ticks need to spend time in dirt or leaf litter to avoid drying out, so they hang out close to the ground. They find us by climbing a stalk of grass and reaching out with their little legs when we walk by. (They'll settle for a deer, rabbit, or mouse instead of a person—they're not picky.) Once they find a warm body, they crawl upwards.So if you want to avoid tick bites, the most important places to...
