OpenAI's New AI Agent Takes One Hour to Order Food and Recommends Visiting a Baseball Stadium in the Middle of the Ocean

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-20 18:00:09

OpenAI is releasing a new AI agent, creatively dubbed ChatGPT Agent — which is not to be confused with the two other AI agents it's already released (did we mention that OpenAI has a bit of a branding problem?) In an announcement, the Sam-Altman-led company says the tool uses its own "virtual computer" to perform tasks on your behalf, like using your calendar to brief you on upcoming meetings, buying the ingredients to make breakfast, and creating a slide deck analysis of business competitors.

5 underrated Android features I use all the time, and you should too

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-20 17:00:59

Andy Walker / Android Authority Features like split-screen mode, Quick Share, and various battery optimizations are more or less common knowledge amongst Android users. But Google’s OS has so many features, it’s easy for some to fly under the radar — especially since they can be buried deep within the settings. A lot of the features I use regularly aren’t talked about as much as they should be, partly due to the fact not everyone is aware that they even exist. I want to change that by sharing

Tesla loses its charm for India’s loyalists — even as Musk finally delivers

Tesla opened the doors to its first showroom in India this week, and among the first visitors was Vishal Gondal — a longtime Tesla and Elon Musk loyalist who pre-booked a Model 3 in April 2016, just hours after reservations went live. But despite showing up on day one, Gondal says he has no plans to buy a Tesla now. “I felt a little bit underwhelmed,” said Gondal, founder and CEO of fitness-tech startup GOQii, after visiting the maiden Tesla showroom in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex.

As the New York Post reports, Baumgartner was 56 when he took on what became his last stunt: flying a motorized paraglider near the town of Porto Sant Elpidio, a beachside resort off Italy's Adriatic coast.

The borrowchecker is what I like the least about Rust

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-20 15:27:50

Written 2025-07-18 Among the 2010's cohort of programming languages, Rust is probably the most widely lauded. The main selling point of Rust is that it manages to combine speed and low-level control with a high level of bug-resistance, more commonly referred to as safety. The main innovation of Rust - really, its claim to fame - is its borrowchecker: the part of its compiler that enforces Rust's ownership rules and thereby allows Rust to achieve all the memory safety that garbage collected lan

Angry Callers Accusing Real Customer Support Staff of Being AI

A penny for the thoughts of our thankless call center workers. Long have they had to endure indignant customers fuming at them for problems beyond their control.

Xi Jinping warns against China's overinvestment in EVs and AI

Chinese President Xi Jinping has bluntly questioned a nationwide rush of investment into the AI and EV industries. As deflation anxiety grows and Trump’s trade war with China ramps up, the world’s second largest economy is turning to fast-growth tech industries to remain competitive. But Xi appears to think that the strategy is flawed. As reported by the Financial Times , China's President sent out a pointed message about over-investment at the two-day Central Urban Work Conference in Beijing.
