OpenAI Flirts With Ads In ChatGPT Search
Strings spotted in the Android app v1.2025.329 reference an ads feature, bazaar content, search ad, and a search ads carousel. After years of keeping the chat experience ad free, the company appears to be testing promotions limited to search. Observers say conversational AI could turbocharge hyper personalized marketing, which is great news for anyone who looked at a search box and thought, what this really needs is a rotating shelf of product placements. Progress, now with a carousel.
Wales Rugby Hit Rock Bottom, Then Start Digging
Steve Tandy’s first autumn brought a brutal ledger: 52 conceded to Argentina, 52 to New Zealand, and a record 73-0 at home to South Africa, with a single flattering escape against Japan. Totals: 200 points and 27 tries shipped, 116 missed tackles, 49 penalties and seven cards, and a post contact deficit that reads like a canyon, 861 metres made to 1,589 conceded. The core problem is power. Without talisman Jac Morgan, Wales were bullied at the breakdown, beaten in the air, and starved of possession. The Springboks arrived with 899 caps despite missing a dozen regulars and ran in 11 tries. Sacha Feinberg Mngomezulu posted 28 points and Eben Etzebeth saw red late. Credit to scheduling too. An out of window Test cost Wales 13 English and French based players while clashing with a URC round. Attendance sagged to 50,112, a reminder that cash first and spectacle second has limits. The Nations Championship should retire these fixtures for a while. Tandy faces a steep rebuild before the Six Nations.
Powys Welcomes More Overseas Nurses, Seeks Housing Solutions
Powys Teaching Health Board has brought six internationally trained nurses from India to Brecon Hospital’s Y Bannau ward, the third cohort in a drive that has grown overseas nursing staff from two to over 30 with zero turnover. The sticking point is housing, so the board is pursuing partnerships with registered social landlords linked to the North Powys hub to secure accommodation during OSCEs and beyond. Overseas doctors are next in the pipeline. The long delayed North Powys Wellbeing Programme in Newtown moved forward with just under £1 million from the Welsh Government to complete its business case, with a £30 million proposal expected before Christmas. Actual investment in frontline care and places to live, a rare and welcome pairing.
