Byte The Habit - We Are Social Beings
Are your devices bonding your family or distracting you? Jean challenges two families to a playful social experiment to reveal if we are selective about what we pay attention to.
Byte The Habit
About the show:
Byte the Habit is a heartwarming social experiment series that tackles the timely and often unspoken questions of our time: What is technology doing to us and our families—and what can we do about it?
From dinner tables interrupted by notifications to downtime routines governed by algorithms, screens have seeped into every corner of our domestic lifestyle.
Over six episodes, behavioural scientist Dr. Jean Liu, guides three families into a process of tailored experimentation, inviting us to pause, reflect and reimagine the way we live with technology.
These aren't stories about going analog. Each episode combines Jean's insights to uncover blind spots in our digital habits, build deeper connections and show how tech can empower rather than subtract from our lives.

Nvidia CEO to sell more advanced chips to China after H20 ban, warns of 'tremendous loss' for firms in potential US$50B AI market
Photo: Facebook/Bobo Choi Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has signalled the company's intention to sell more advanced chips to China, warning that it would be a 'tremendous loss' for American firms to miss out on the country's artificial intelligence (AI) market, which could be worth up to US$50 billion in the next two to three years. Speaking at a press conference in Beijing, China, on Wednesday, Mr Huang told CNBC, 'I hope to get more advanced chips into China than the H20.' Referencing Hopper, Nvidia's chip architecture that the H20 chip is built on, he noted, 'Today Hopper's terrific, but some years from now we will have more and more and better and better technology,' adding that as technology continues to evolve, it is 'sensible that whatever we're allowed to sell in China will continue to get better and better over time as well'. The Nvidia CEO's remarks came after the company said on Monday that it would resume sales of the H20 chip in China—a chip specifically designed to bypass earlier export controls on Beijing.

He also announced a 'fully compliant' RTX PRO GPU that is a 'digital twin AI for smart factories and logistics'. In June, CNBC reported that Mr Huang also pointed out that if US firms are kept out of China's AI market, competitor Huawei has 'got China covered'. At the press conference in Beijing, Mr Huang said that export controls are beyond the company's control and can be highly disruptive to the business. 'It is our job only to inform the governments of the nature and the unintended consequences of the policies that they make,' he added. /TISG Read also: Nvidia CEO says that if he were a student today, he would learn AI to have a successful career () => { const trigger = if ('IntersectionObserver' in window && trigger) { const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries, observer) => { => { if ( { lazyLoader(); // You should define lazyLoader() elsewhere or inline here // Run once } }); }, { rootMargin: '800px', threshold: 0.1 }); } else { // Fallback setTimeout(lazyLoader, 3000); } });

OpenAI unveils ChatGPT agent to handle tasks as AI apps evolve
OpenAI launched an artificial intelligence agent for its popular chatbot ChatGPT on Thursday that can complete complex tasks as the Microsoft-backed startup looks to get ahead of competitors in the AI race. AI agents — considered to be an evolution of an assistant — have been embraced across the tech world with large firms, including Microsoft, Salesforce and Oracle, spending billions on the technology to boost productivity and make operations more cost efficient. OpenAI's agent will combine aspects of its previous agentic features, operator, which can interact with websites, and deep research that can conduct multi-step research for advanced tasks. Starting Thursday, users of ChatGPT's Pro, Plus and Team tiers can activate the chatbot's agentic capabilities. ChatGPT's agent can complete tasks such as ordering an outfit for a wedding while taking into account factors like dress code and weather. The chatbot does this by using its own virtual computer equipped with a number of tools that can interact with the web. It also allows the user to connect apps such as Gmail and Github so ChatGPT can find information relevant to a prompt.
