realityOS becomes xrOS
Apple journalist Mark Gurman reports that the operating system developed specifically for the Apple headset is now called "xrOS." The previously rumored name was "realityOS". Gurman refers to sources close to the company. The rumor is a good sign insofar as Apple apparently continues to tinker with the device. Gurman expects a market launch next year, as usual.

Is OpenAI possibly collecting more feedback data for the training of GPT-4?
