Image by Getty / Futurism Studies Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found some startling results in the brain scans of ChatGPT users, adding to the growing body of evidence suggesting that AI is having a serious — and barely-understood — impact on its users' cognition even as it explodes in popularity worldwide. In a new paper currently awaiting peer review, researchers from the school's storied Media Lab documented the vast differences between the brain activity of

ChatGPT: Everything you need to know about the AI-powered chatbot

techcrunch.com Kyle Wiggers 2026-03-07 20:27:58

ChatGPT, OpenAI’s text-generating AI chatbot, has taken the world by storm since its launch in November 2022. What started as a tool to supercharge productivity through writing essays and code with short text prompts has evolved into a behemoth with 300 million weekly active users. 2024 was a big year for OpenAI, from its partnership with Apple for its generative AI offering, Apple Intelligence, the release of GPT-4o with voice capabilities, and the highly-anticipated launch of its text-to-vide

Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Review: Great Value Gaming

wired.com Brad Bourque 2026-03-08 13:03:00

It's AMD's turn. After months of $2,000+ GPUs and long discussions of DLSS, we're finally on the red team's turf. AMD's strength historically lies at the budget end of the spectrum, where the majority of gamers are playing at 1080p, and spending $1,000 or less for their entire system. Even though we really recommend splurging on a GPU, that's just not the reality for most folks. An $800 GPU needs $1,200 in other parts, and at that point most people who aren't into PC gaming will start shopping

You sound like ChatGPT

Join any Zoom call, walk into any lecture hall, or watch any YouTube video, and listen carefully. Past the content and inside the linguistic patterns, you’ll find the creeping uniformity of AI voice. Words like “prowess” and “tapestry,” which are favored by ChatGPT, are creeping into our vocabulary, while words like “bolster,” “unearth,” and “nuance,” words less favored by ChatGPT, have declined in use. Researchers are already documenting shifts in the way we speak and communicate as a result of

You can now create custom GPTs with any OpenAI model, but there’s a catch

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-09 02:39:15

If you’ve been experimenting with custom GPTs inside ChatGPT, here’s a welcome upgrade: OpenAI now lets users pick from all available models when building or running a custom GPT, not just GPT-4o. Here’s how it works (and what’s missing). What are custom GPTs again? If you have no idea what this is, you’re not alone. OpenAI launched custom GPTs in late 2023, but the feature hasn’t exactly taken off the way the company probably hoped. Here’s how OpenAI describes them: “…custom versions of Chat

Compiling LLMs into a MegaKernel: A path to low-latency inference

news.ycombinator.com Zhihao Jia 2026-03-09 16:20:54

One of the most effective ways to reduce latency in LLM inference is to fuse all computation and communication into a single megakernel — also known as a persistent kernel. In this design, the system launches just one GPU kernel to execute the entire model — from layer-by-layer computation to inter-GPU communication — without interruption. This approach offers several key performance advantages: Eliminates kernel launch overhead, even in multi-GPU settings, by avoiding repeated kernel invocatio

OpenAI’s Sam Altman discusses GPT-5 release date

ChatGPT's next big upgrade, or the new foundational model 'GPT-5,' is being prepared for public release, but OpenAI won't share the specifics. In a recent interview, Sam Altman, CEO and co-founder of OpenAI, confirmed that ChatGPT's GPT-5 model release date is sometime in summer, but it depends on a number of factors. OpenAI has internal benchmarks and other standards set for GPT-5, and unless those are met, OpenAI might not release the model to the public. Sam added that he doesn't know 'exa

ChatGPT appears to be testing support for Gmail and Google Calendar integration. This will allow users to summarise emails and create events. ChatGPT already supports Gmail integration, but it's tied to Deep Research. Right now, you can use information from Gmail in your Deep Research reports, but it's not possible to pull up emails from Gmail and summarise them. As spotted by Tibor on X, ChatGPT is now actively testing support for integrating Gmail and Calendar, so you can stay "organized."

ChatGPT Free vs. ChatGPT Plus: The $20 Per Month Is Worth It

Last year when I first reviewed ChatGPT, the most well-known AI chatbot in the world, I felt that most people shouldn't pay for it.

However, OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has rolled out a slew of updates and improvements making it the $20 per month. That's especially true if you're increasingly using it for research or for parsing through large amounts of data. OpenAI now gives paid ChatGPT users access to the o1

Zen 2’s launch was a defining moment for AMD. For the first time in many, many years, AMD’s single thread performance could go head to head with Intel’s best. Zen 2 also started a trend where AMD brought up to 16 cores to desktop CPUs, giving consumers very strong multithreaded performance without having to buy HEDT platforms. But Zen 2 was also flexible and did a very good job of scaling down to lower power targets. That was especially true when Zen 2 cores were implemented in more power effic
