    OpenAI is launching a GPT store later this month.

    The store will let users share and sell their custom GPT bots. Sam Altman says OpenAI is going to “pay people who build the most useful and the most used GPTs” a portion of the company’s revenue.

    ChatGPT is getting GPT-4 Turbo.

    The chatbot uses the latest version of OpenAI’s large language model, allowing it to browse the web to write and run code, analyze data, and more. It also won’t have the “annoying” drop-down model-picker menu — it will know which model to use automatically.

    YouTube’s ad-blocker crackdown is causing chaos in the ad-blocker business.

    Earlier this week, YouTube confirmed “a global effort” to crack down on ad blockers — and it’s already affecting the ad blocker business. A new report from Wired suggests that the crackdown is causing users to uninstall and install ad blockers at a record pace as they search for one that actually works:

    Previously unreported figures from ad blocking companies indicate that YouTube’s crackdown is working, with hundreds of thousands of people uninstalling ad blockers in October. The available data suggests last month saw a record number of adblockers uninstalled—and also a record for new ad blocker installs as people sought alternatives that wouldn’t trigger YouTube’s dreaded popup.

    Google AdSense is doing away with the pay-per-click model.

    Starting early next year, Google will start paying publishers per impression instead of by how many times someone clicks an ad. That means publishers will get paid every time an ad is displayed. Google says the change will “provide a more uniform way for paying publishers for their ad space.”
