engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-13 15:02:21

OpenAI has announced that ChatGPT will now remind users to take breaks if they're in a particularly long chat with AI. The new feature is part of OpenAI's ongoing attempts to get users to cultivate a healthier relationship with the frequently compliant and overly-encouraging AI assistant. The company's announcement suggests the "gentle reminders" will appear as pop-ups in chats that users will have to click or tap through to continue using ChatGPT.

OpenAI is updating how ChatGPT works to encourage healthier use and avoid unintended consequences.

We may not like what we become if A.I. solves loneliness

news.ycombinator.com Paul Bloom 2025-12-14 14:52:36

These days, everyone seems to have an opinion about A.I. companions. Last year, I found myself joining the debate, publishing a paper—co-written with two fellow psychology professors and a philosopher—called “In Praise of Empathic A.I.” Our argument was that, in certain ways, the latest crop of A.I.s might make for better company than many real people do, and that, rather than recoiling in horror, we ought to consider what A.I. companions could offer to those who are lonely.

OpenAI isn't just working on GPT-5. It looks like OpenAI is also preparing to release new open-source weights, living up to its name, "OpenAI." As spotted on X, two new open-source weights, "gpt-oss-20b" and "gpt-oss-120b," have been spotted on HuggingFace, which is an AI platform to host models. The models are on HuggingFace ahead of the public release. Typically, companies like OpenAI need to share the model weights with partner companies. This is done in preparation for the release. OpenA

OpenAI is reportedly working on a new plan called 'Go,' which would be cheaper than the existing $20 Plus subscription. Like every other AI chatbot, ChatGPT has two plans. One is Plus, which gives access to new models and a few features for $20, and the second is the Pro plan. The Pro plan costs $200 and provides nearly unlimited access to AI models. It also includes access to new features. But what if you have a limited use case for ChatGPT and don't need access to advanced features like Ag
