ChatGPT is testing disruptive Study Together feature

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-08-10 03:07:49

OpenAI's "Study together" mode has been spotted in the wild, and it could help students prepare for exams directly from ChatGPT. We don't have the details yet, but references to ChatGPT Study Mode were first spotted in May, and testers noticed it widely earlier today. The Study together mode, which doesn't work right now, might allow students to either invite their friends to study on ChatGPT or have the AI act as a companion.

Though most signs are telling us artificial intelligence isn't taking anyone's jobs, employers are still using the tech to justify layoffs, outsource work to the global South, and scare workers into submission. But that's not all — a growing number of employers are using AI not just as an excuse to downsize, but are giving it the final say in who gets axed. That's according to a survey of 1,342 managers by ResumeBuilder.com, which runs a blog dedicated to HR. Of those surveyed, 6 out of 10 admi

ChatGPT Deep Research, which is an AI research tool to automate research, is getting support for new connectors (integrations), including Slack. Deep Research is an AI agent that automates research for you. You just need to give it a brief prompt with all the necessary details, and it will crawl the internet to write a research paper.

Leaks hint at Operator-like tool in ChatGPT ahead of GPT-5 launch

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-08-12 13:22:31

A few new code references in the ChatGPT web app and Android point to an Operator-like tool in GPT's chain of thoughts. As spotted by Tibor on X, the Android beta has strings like “click,” “drag,” “type,” and even “terminal feed,” which seem to suggest that ChatGPT could soon call a remote browser or sandboxed environment (Operator?). For those unaware, OpenAI already has Operator, which uses an AI agent to navigate a remote browser session and execute tasks for you. These references suggest

ChatGPT referrals to news sites are growing, but not enough to offset search declines

Referrals from ChatGPT to news publishers are growing, but not enough to counter the decline in clicks resulting from users increasingly getting their news directly from AI or AI-powered search results, according to a report from digital market intelligence company Similarweb. Since the launch of Google’s AI Overviews in May 2024, the firm found that the number of news searches on the web that result in no click-throughs to news websites has grown from 56% to nearly 69% as of May 2025.

When I first met Alex, last year, he was interested in a career in the arts, and he devoted a lot of his free time to photo shoots with his friends.

As we reported earlier this month, many ChatGPT users are developing all-consuming obsessions with the chatbot, spiraling into severe mental health crises characterized by paranoia, delusions, and breaks with reality.
