LTT video Linus explained that effective July 1st, which is Canada Day

Chat GPT is now native on iOS since open AI has launched a free app on the App Store allowing iPhone owners everywhere to have deep
deeply personal Conversations that probe where to draw the line between human and computer all while using the toilet at 3 a.m. Trump style open AI's official
