The new app is called watchGPT and as I tipped off already, it gives you access to ChatGPT from your Apple Watch. Now the $10,000 question (or more accurately the $3.99 question, as that is the one-time cost of the app) is why having ChatGPT on your wrist is remotely necessary, so let’s dive into what exactly the app can do.

WordPress 5.7.2 Patches a Critical Vulnerability
A WordPress vulnerability rated as critical has been patched. The patch is applied to WordPress version 5.7.2. Sites opted into automatic download should be receiving this update without any additional action by publishers.
Publishers are encouraged to check what WordPress version they are using to make sure they are updated to version 5.7.2.
Object Injection Vulnerability
The vulnerability that is affecting WordPress is called an Object Injection vulnerability. Specifically, it is an object injection in PHPMailer vulnerability.
According to the Owasp.org security website, this is the definition of a PHP Object Injection vulnerability:
“PHP Object Injection is an application level vulnerability that could allow an attacker to perform different kinds of malicious attacks, such as Code Injection, SQL Injection, Path Traversal and Application Denial of Service, depending on the context.
The vulnerability occurs when user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being passed to the unserialize() PHP function.
Since PHP allows object serialization, attackers could pass ad-hoc serialized strings to a vulnerable unserialize() call, resulting in an arbitrary PHP object(s) injection into the application scope.”
WordPress Vulnerability Rated as Critical
The vulnerability is rated at near the highest rating level of danger. On a scale of 1 to 10 using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), this vulnerability is rated at 9.8.
The Patchstack security website published the official United States government vulnerability rating.
WordPress Vulnerability Rated Critical
WordPress vulnerability is rated 9.8 on a scale of 1 – 10.
According to the Patchstack security site that published details of the vulnerability:
“Details
Object injection in PHPMailer vulnerability discovered in WordPress (one security issue affecting WordPress versions between 3.7 and 5.7).
SOLUTION
Update the WordPress to the latest available version (at least 5.7.2). All WordPress versions since 3.7 have also been updated to fix the following security issue.”
The official WordPress announcement for WordPress 5.7.2 stated:
“Security updates
One security issue affects WordPress versions between 3.7 and 5.7.If you haven’t yet updated to 5.7, all WordPress versions since 3.7 have also been updated to fix the following security issues:
Object injection in PHPMailer”
The official United States government National Vulnerability Database website that announces vulnerabilities noted that this problem happened because a fix for a previous vulnerability created a new one.
The U.S Government National Vulnerability Database describes the vulnerability like this:
“PHPMailer 6.1.8 through 6.4.0 allows object injection through Phar Deserialization via addAttachment with a UNC pathname.
NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2018-19296, but arose because 6.1.8 fixed a functionality problem in which UNC pathnames were always considered unreadable by PHPMailer, even in safe contexts.
As an unintended side effect, this fix eliminated the code that blocked addAttachment exploitation.”
National Vulnerability Database Rates WordPress Vulnerability as Critical
Update WordPress Immediately
Publishers who use WordPress should consider checking if their WordPress installations are the latest. The most current version of WordPress is version 5.7.2.
Because the vulnerability rating is critical it may mean that the consequences of not updating WordPress to version 5.7.2 may leave a site vulnerable to a hacking event.

Facebook Faces Yet Another Outage: Platform Encounters Technical Issues Again
Uppdated: It seems that today’s issues with Facebook haven’t affected as many users as the last time. A smaller group of people appears to be impacted this time around, which is a relief compared to the larger incident before. Nevertheless, it’s still frustrating for those affected, and hopefully, the issues will be resolved soon by the Facebook team.
Facebook had another problem today (March 20, 2024). According to Downdetector, a website that shows when other websites are not working, many people had trouble using Facebook.
This isn’t the first time Facebook has had issues. Just a little while ago, there was another problem that stopped people from using the site. Today, when people tried to use Facebook, it didn’t work like it should. People couldn’t see their friends’ posts, and sometimes the website wouldn’t even load.
Downdetector, which watches out for problems on websites, showed that lots of people were having trouble with Facebook. People from all over the world said they couldn’t use the site, and they were not happy about it.
When websites like Facebook have problems, it affects a lot of people. It’s not just about not being able to see posts or chat with friends. It can also impact businesses that use Facebook to reach customers.
Since Facebook owns Messenger and Instagram, the problems with Facebook also meant that people had trouble using these apps. It made the situation even more frustrating for many users, who rely on these apps to stay connected with others.
During this recent problem, one thing is obvious: the internet is always changing, and even big websites like Facebook can have problems. While people wait for Facebook to fix the issue, it shows us how easily things online can go wrong. It’s a good reminder that we should have backup plans for staying connected online, just in case something like this happens again.

We asked ChatGPT what will be Google (GOOG) stock price for 2030
Investors who have invested in Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) stock have reaped significant benefits from the company’s robust financial performance over the last five years. Google’s dominance in the online advertising market has been a key driver of the company’s consistent revenue growth and impressive profit margins.
In addition, Google has expanded its operations into related fields such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence. These areas show great promise as future growth drivers, making them increasingly attractive to investors. Notably, Alphabet’s stock price has been rising due to investor interest in the company’s recent initiatives in the fast-developing field of artificial intelligence (AI), adding generative AI features to Gmail and Google Docs.
However, when it comes to predicting the future pricing of a corporation like Google, there are many factors to consider. With this in mind, Finbold turned to the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT to suggest a likely pricing range for GOOG stock by 2030. Although the tool was unable to give a definitive price range, it did note the following:
“Over the long term, Google has a track record of strong financial performance and has shown an ability to adapt to changing market conditions. As such, it’s reasonable to expect that Google’s stock price may continue to appreciate over time.”
GOOG stock price prediction
While attempting to estimate the price range of future transactions, it is essential to consider a variety of measures in addition to the AI chat tool, which includes deep learning algorithms and stock market experts.
Finbold collected forecasts provided by CoinPriceForecast, a finance prediction tool that utilizes machine self-learning technology, to anticipate Google stock price by the end of 2030 to compare with ChatGPT’s projection.
According to the most recent long-term estimate, which Finbold obtained on March 20, the price of Google will rise beyond $200 in 2030 and touch $247 by the end of the year, which would indicate a 141% gain from today to the end of the year.
Google has been assigned a recommendation of ‘strong buy’ by the majority of analysts working on Wall Street for a more near-term time frame. Significantly, 36 analysts of the 48 have recommended a “strong buy,” while seven people have advocated a “buy.” The remaining five analysts had given a ‘hold’ rating.
The average price projection for Alphabet stock over the last three months has been $125.32; this objective represents a 22.31% upside from its current price. It’s interesting to note that the maximum price forecast for the next year is $160, representing a gain of 56.16% from the stock’s current price of $102.46.
While the outlook for Google stock may be positive, it’s important to keep in mind that some potential challenges and risks could impact its performance, including competition from ChatGPT itself, which could affect Google’s price.
