OpenAI updating ChatGPT to encourage healthier use

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-15 14:29:01

OpenAI is updating how ChatGPT works to encourage healthier use and avoid unintended consequences. One change that OpenAI says ChatGPT users will see “starting today” is a technique used by other digital services. Much like video streaming services and social networks, OpenAI is adding a gentle break reminder for users during prolonged chat sessions. Starting today, you’ll see gentle reminders during long sessions to encourage breaks. We’ll keep tuning when and how they show up so they feel na

These protocols will help AI agents navigate our messy lives

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2025-12-15 23:00:13

What should these protocols say about security? Researchers and developers still don’t really understand how AI models work, and new vulnerabilities are being discovered all the time. For chatbot-style AI applications, malicious attacks can cause models to do all sorts of bad things, including regurgitating training data and spouting slurs. But for AI agents, which interact with the world on someone’s behalf, the possibilities are far riskier. For example, one AI agent, made to read and send e

Apple’s Answers team is a bigger deal than it might seem

A Bloomberg report over the weekend suggested that Apple has created a new Answers, Knowledge and Information team as part of its Apple Intelligence efforts.

Nothing’s original Glyph Interface was the perfect level of gimmick — it added a bit of flair to the back of its first few phones, but always felt like it had a purpose. I trusted it for everything from following the charge of my battery to watching for an incoming phone call, and it was one cool thing I could always show off to my iPhone-toting friends.

The current regime at Warner Bros. Discovery—soon to separate into Warner Bros. and Discovery in the near future—has never really liked its animated history.

Ethereum turns 10: From scrappy experiment to Wall Street’s invisible backbone

They weren't corporate titans or venture-backed founders — just idealists working long nights to push a radical idea into reality.

A dive into open chat protocols I’m between projects right now, so as is my idiom I’m going to take some random topic that has caught me on a manic swing in my little bipolar life, and dive deeper into it for a few days.

New IVF Startup Claims It Can Predict an Embryo's IQ

The 21st century has seen startups rise from a relatively niche business approach to a multi-trillion-dollar phenomenon. Between 2021 and 2023, startups generated an estimated $7.6 trillion in global value. From 2019 to 2023 — a rocky period for the economy overall — the number of startups in the US still increased by 16 percent. But with all that success comes a whole lotta risk.

The tradeoff between human and AI context

AI coding is a skill. You have to decide how much context to put in your brain vs the AI. You can waste your time thinking about the wrong problem because you failed to delegate. Or you can give yourself a headache when the AI coder doesn’t get it. I think about it in terms of spectrum of human to AI context. At the highest levels, we, humans, own all the context. We operate here when our specific value-add matters. We also work here in the many cases AI coders aren’t that smart yet. At the low
