As we approach the conclusion of Season 1, I encourage you to wrap up any outstanding Battle Pass tiers if you haven’t already. With Season 2 just around the corner, you’ll be greeted with a fresh Battle Pass, a new BlackCell version of the pass, and a host of regular content updates and in-game events to keep you engaged.
Although Samsung’s premium smartphones might steal the limelight, there’s a chance that updates about other gadgets will surface too. We anticipate the unveiling of OneUI 7 and Galaxy AI in this event as well.
Although specifics about the AI model are limited, there are indications that OpenAI discreetly financed and utilized the FrontierMath evaluation data, sparking doubts about whether the company employed this data for training its o3 model (as reported by Search Engine Journal). The AI model has achieved impressive scores across numerous benchmarks; however, if the mounting concerns are any indication, the published results could potentially be an artificial representation of the model’s actual performance.
The promotional pictures suggest that the main character for Season 2 might be an enigmatic figure known as the Operator, who wears a hood, black leather coat, and a tactical vest loaded with what seem to be explosives. This character is masked and his eyes glow vividly purple. He carries dual blades, which have black handles with purple accents, and a Tanto SMG that bears similar purple detailing. As of now, this Operator remains nameless.
To provide some background, SIP (Security Isolated Process) is a safety measure that prevents harmful software from accessing vital data in the operating system by limiting the root user account’s authority in sensitive regions. If this protective mechanism is circumvented, the operating system becomes vulnerable to malicious tactics employed by hackers, enabling them to execute unauthorized modifications on essential and privileged files and directories without proper authorization.
As a researcher, I’m excited to share that not only has Activision generously donated $1M, but also, the creators of Call of Duty have introduced a new Operator pack – the LA Fire Relief Ultra bundle – in our game store. All earnings from this special edition bundle will be dedicated to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and Direct Relief. This is our way of supporting those affected by the fires in Los Angeles.
