Worried about seeing a bunch of ads in your favorite AI assistant? If you're using Google Gemini, you probably won't — at least not in the foreseeable future.

During an interview in Davos, Switzerland, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis told Alex Heath that the company doesn’t have “any plans” to put ads in Gemini. In contrast, OpenAI is about to start testing ads in ChatGPT, causing outrage from many of its users.

Plans can and do sometimes change, of course, and Google could still integrate ads into its AI assistant one day, but at least we know it's not happening soon. (Though we should note that Google is currently the largest advertising company on the planet; in 2023, the company generated $175 trillion in ad revenue.)

In discussing AI ads at Davos, Hassabis also seemed to take a subtle shot at his chief AI rival, telling Axios he was "surprised" that OpenAI was turning to ads so quickly.

In a tweet, OpenAI said that ChatGPT ads will only show up in ChatGPT free and Go tiers, and explained that ChatGPT's responses will not be influenced by ads and that users' conversations will remain private from advertisers.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The company said that its mission is "to ensure AGI benefits all of humanity," and that its pursuit of advertising is "always in support of that mission," as well as "making AI more accessible.

It probably isn't that simple, though. In 2024, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said ads were a "last resort" for the company, and recent reports describe how Altman internally declared "code red," prioritizing efforts to make sure ChatGPT doesn't fall behind competitors, including Gemini.

Anyone who grew up in the '80s is in for a treat, with Amazon MGM Studios dropping the first glimpse of live-action He-Man (Nicholas Galitzine) in a teaser for Masters of the Universe.

The teaser itself gives little away — it's pretty much a 30-second promo for the actual trailer dropping tomorrow — but we do see some brief glimpses of the heroes based on Mattel's famous action fantasy franchise.

Unsure what size TV to get? We think 65 inches is the sweet spot for most people. And our top pick for a 65-incher is TCL's QM8K TV. It's a particularly worthwhile choice when it's on sale and as of Jan. 21, it's more than half off.

Typically listed at $2,499.99, you can grab the TCL 65-inch QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV for only $997.99 at Amazon this week. That's more than $1,500 or 60% in savings based on its full list price (Amazon's current list price is deflated). That's also only $98 away from its best-ever price from Black Friday. Best Buy also has a great deal on the TV if you prefer to shop there — it's just $2 more than Amazon.

The internet practically unanimously agrees that the TCL QM8K is the best QLED TV for most folks, thanks to its highly impressive brightness and stellar picture quality, contrast, and shadow detail. "While this intensity of brightness makes the QM8K a solid choice for watching TV in daylight, its more-precise-than-usual backlights keep details crisp in a dark room. The new anti-halo effect is an effective fix for some of the blooming its predecessor experienced," Mashable's Leah Stodart notes.

It's also equipped with a 2.2-channel Bang & Olufsen-designed speaker array with Dolby Atmos spatial audio, a 144Hz native refresh rate with VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, a low 12.9ms input lag, ATSC 3.0, Wi-Fi 6, and plenty of ports for all of your peripherals.

If you're looking to upgrade your TV this season, you certainly won't be disappointed with this pick — and your wallet will be pleased with the price. And BTW: If you're not sure what to do with your old TV, you can recycle it at most Best Buy stores for free.

SAVE UP TO 14%: Select configurations of the Apple MacBook Air (M4) are on sale on Amazon for $200 off as of Jan. 21, with prices starting at $1,199 (normally $1,399). Each variant comes with at least 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

Amazon puts latest M4 MacBook Airs on sale for $200 off so often, Apple might as well edit their MSRPs. Indeed, data from the price-tracking site camelcamelcamel shows that every configuration was enjoying that discount since the start of the year, up until earlier this week. However, only a few upper-end variants are still holding onto it at the time of writing.

This isn't a sign to panic yet, but the ongoing RAM shortage makes one wonder if sizable discounts on the cheapest base models are going to be rarities going forward. (They're currently just $100 off; Mashable's deals team will be watching them closely.) Regardless, it's never a bad idea to splurge on some extra memory and storage for future-proofing's sake if your budget allows.

As of Jan. 21, Amazon's $200 discount is still live for the following sizes, colors, and configurations:

• 13-inch M4 MacBook Air (24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) in midnight and silver — $1,199 $1,399 (save $200)

• 15-inch M4 MacBook Air (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) in silver — $1,199 $1,399 (save $200)

• 15-inch M4 MacBook Air (24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) in midnight and silver — $1,399 $1,599 (save $200)

Amazon's deals weren't matched anywhere else the last time I checked — including Best Buy, which usually gives the retail giant some competition. All of the aforementioned configurations were still full price there.

I'd steer most people towards the 15-inch model, which has two extra speakers and a GPU with two extra cores (read: it's a little bit better at handling heavier workloads). However, students and those who prioritize portability will be served well by the 13-inch version. Check out my complete guide to the best MacBooks for 2026 buyers if you need more intel.

Just keep in mind that while the hardware is yours, a service plan is required to actually connect, though there are no long-term contracts to lock you in.

No one loves a power outage. The idea of cozy blankets, no WiFi, no phones, and sitting down with a Lego set or a puzzle seems magical at first, but the joy can wear off quickly. Once you realize the refrigerator is no longer running, things get less magical. Instead of dealing with the inconvenience of no power, a portable power station offers a great solution. There's a solid model on sale today at Amazon that even comes with solar panels to help with recharging.

As of Jan. 21, the Jackery HomePower 3000 with two 200W solar panels is on sale at Amazon for $1,598.99, marked down from the normal price of $2,999. In total, that works out a savings of $1,400.01 from a massive 47% discount.

Like the name suggests, the Jackery HomePower 3000 comes packed with 3,072Wh of battery capacity. In simpler terms, that means you can keep the refrigerator cooling for one or two days, the WiFi router on for 66 hours, or a light on for up to 10 days. All of those will be useful during a power outage. Of course, you'll also be able to recharge your phone, Kindle, or your Nintendo Switch 2 to stay entertained.

Once we get back into camping season, the Jackery HomePower 3000 should get an invite to the campground. You'll be able to pack along the air fryer, lights, projector, and speakers thanks to the portable power of the Jackery.

Since today's deal includes two 200W SolarSaga solar panels, you'll be in great shape for recharging the HomePower 3000. With the 400W combined solar input, Jackery says this model will get back to 100% charged after 11 hours. An 80% charge is possible with nine hours of solar charging.

Useful in all season, upgrade to the Jackery HomePower 3000 this year while it's on sale for a major 47% off. You'll be endlessly thankful during the next power outage when you have a fully charged phone and working refrigerator.

At a massive 49 inches, the Odyssey G9 is built to dominate your desk; a 32:9 curved display of that size is essentially the equivalent of two 27-inch monitors fused together, minus the annoying bezel gap.

Performance doesn’t take a back seat, either. You’re getting a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, helping fast-paced games like Battlefield 6 stay smooth and tear-free. Add VESA DisplayHDR 600, and darker scenes gain extra contrast without washing out highlights — a noticeable upgrade for cinematic titles and late-night gaming sessions.

Beyond gaming, this monitor shines as a productivity powerhouse for work, too. Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture modes make multitasking easy, while the ergonomic stand lets you fine-tune height and tilt for marathon sessions.

If you’re shopping around across different brands, LG’s 32-inch UltraGear QHD monitor is still $100 off. As for more from Samsung, the OLED version of the G9 monitor is also on sale at almost $400 off.

Elon Musk and Ryanair have been experiencing turbulence of late, but what exactly has occurred?

The billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO has been swapping barbs with Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary, with petty insults thrown around by two grown-ass men on public platforms. And it's all about internet on short-haul flights. Here's what's been happening.

SEE ALSO: X reportedly still allows Grok-created, sexualized images despite new ban

Back on Jan. 14, Ryanair ruled out the possibility of installing Musk's Starlink internet tech on its planes, like competitors British Airways and Lufthansa. O'Leary told Reuters, "You need to put antenna on fuselage, it comes with a two percent fuel penalty because of the weight and drag. We don't think our passengers are willing to pay for WiFi for an average one-hour flight."

The following day, Musk sprang into action on his social platform X, claiming O'Leary was "misinformed" and writing, "I doubt they can even measure the difference in fuel use accurately, especially for a one hour flight, where the incremental drag is basically zero during the ascent phase due to high angle of attack," and pairing it all with an AI Grok explainer.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Since then, it's been on — and in increasingly lower levels of mature.

When X suffered a major outage on Jan. 16, Ryanair took a jab at Musk on the platform, asking, "perhaps you need Wi-Fi @elonmusk?" Musk fired back, tweeting, "Should I buy Ryan Air and put someone whose actual name is Ryan in charge?"

Then, in a radio interview on Ireland's Newstalk, O'Leary was asked about Ryanair's stance on Starlink. The airline CEO rejected the idea again, not only describing the impact of adding antennas to aircraft — "about a 2 percent fuel drag" and a boosted fuel bill of "$200, $250 million a year...in other words, about an extra dollar for every passenger we fly" — but then targeting Musk directly.

"I frankly wouldn’t pay any attention to anything that Elon Musk puts on that cesspit of his called X," he said. "He was the guy who advocated to getting Donald Trump elected. I would pay no attention whatsoever to Elon Musk. He’s an idiot. Very wealthy, but he’s still an idiot."

Of course, Musk hit back on X, recycling the insult and calling for O'Leary to be fired — a message he's repeated on X since.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Since then, there's been a few side-eye barbs on social media — on Jan. 19, Ryanair's official X post retweeted a post responding to a question posted: "what is a propaganda you're not falling for?" The airline's response: ""Wi-Fi on planes."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Now, Musk appears to be moving into his favoured tactic of controlling the narrative by buying it. Musk responded to the above post asking, "How much would it cost to buy you?" before later calling for O'Leary's firing while using the r-word slur. Then, on Jan. 19, Musk posted a poll to X, asking whether he should "Buy Ryan Air and restore Ryan as their rightful ruler."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

On Tuesday, Ryanair moved things into even more immature territory than Musk (hard to do), with a post on X announcing that O’Leary has called a press conference on Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Dublin, suggesting the airline is "launching a Great Idiots seat sale especially for Elon and any other idiots on 'X'." And yes, O'Leary did hold the conference, with Ryanair actually launching that sale.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

O'Leary thanked Musk "for the wonderful boost in publicity, which has seen our bookings rise significantly," and repeated Musk's r-word slur about himself (not great) during his address.

"The Starlink people believe that 90 percent of our passengers would happily pay for Wi Fi access," he said. "Our experience, sadly, tells us we think less than 10 percent of our passengers would pay for this access, and therefore we can't afford to shoulder costs of between 150 or 250 million a year. If Starlink wants to fit our aircraft and pay for the fuel drive, we'd happily put them on board. But the only way we see Starlink working on board our aircraft on short haul flights is if you give it away for free."

As the BBC points out, Musk would have a hard time buying Ryanair, as airlines based in the EU must be majority owned by people from the EU, Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland, or Switzerland.

At this point, can Ryanair get back to draining our wallets with oversized baggage fees and Musk actually address the issue of Grok continuing to created sexualized images despite being banned from doing so?

Donald Trump's anger at not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize appears to be leading to all sorts of global issues, and the Daily Show's Josh Johnson is here to point out how ridiculous the whole situation is.

"For the last year Donald Trump has been fiending for a Nobel Peace Prize. Like a humanitarian award addict he's tried everything from whining to pretending that he ended eight wars," says Johnson in the clip above. "But the Nobel committee gave the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader, María Corina Machado, and Trump was so butthurt he said that she should give her prize to him. And because that's the stupidest possible thing that could happen, guess what happened?"

Cue a news reel showing Corina Machado presenting her prize to Trump, accompanied with a photo of the U.S. president smiling while holding the plaque.

"Wow. This is one of the saddest images I've seen in months, and I follow one of those hairless cats on Instagram," says Johnson. "You know the medal is only a symbol, right? Like just because I steal A$AP Rocky's wedding ring, doesn't make it so that I'm married to Rihanna."
