Is Threads under threat? Can Reddit say no to Google search? Nvidia is using AI to design its AI chips. And if you want to get past OpenAI’s guardrails, it’s easy – just ask it in Zulu.

Threads Software Limited, a British firm, which trademarked the name “Threads” in 2012 for its intelligent messaging hub, has given social media giant Meta a 30-day ultimatum to cease using the name in the UK.
Their product, a software hub, designed by Threads Software Limited, archives a company’s emails, tweets, and VoIP calls in a cloud database. The company revealed that it had declined four offers from Meta to acquire its “threads.app” domain.
To add insult to injury, when Meta introduced its own “Threads” app, the British company found itself removed from Facebook.
John Yardley, the managing director of Threads Software Limited, commented on the situation, highlighting the “David and Goliath” nature of the battle and emphasizing that Meta doesn’t have the right to use the “Threads” brand name. Meta has yet to comment on the matter.

Reddit, the popular online forum, is reportedly considering cutting ties with search giants like Google.
According to a report by The , if Reddit fails to strike deals with generative AI companies for its data, it might block search crawlers from Google and Bing.
This would mean that Reddit posts wouldn’t appear in search results.
While Reddit initially seemed to refute the report, it later clarified that the possibility of blocking search crawlers isn’t off the table.
