Why is this a desktop app and not a browser extension? Suspicious.
It's still Chrome.

The classic "it isn't about X, it's about Y". I love the commitment to the trope! :)

I don't care about whether it's Chromium because of browser wars, I care about whether I can block ads.
The ads you're going to need to worry about are not going to be shown on webpages.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#134> ChatGPT Atlas, the browser with ChatGPT built it. I know HN's rules disallow nitpicking, but I find this kind of error, right at the top of a product launch of a gigantic software automation company, a delicious slice of irony.
It's not an error, it's truth in advertising. They're saying that ChatGPT built it, which is just about what we'd expect these days.

#135Earlier quoted context omitted.
>It's one thing to build a predictive model on your demographic, spending and location and income information in order to target and sell you advertisements, and quite another thing to build a model of your cognition itself by recording you If Atlas is successful, there's no reason why Google won't try to mimic it. They already have Chrome and Gemini, all they'd have to do is put Gemini directly into Chrome, dedicate…
They already have Gemini for chrome which no one uses.
There's a dedicated button for it, now .. I speculate its usage will take up soon.

#136The layer-8 malware on the web will go from social engineering to prompt engineering with this kind of things. LLMs are still not safe from things that can be interpreted as prompts in web content, even if its not visible directly by the end user.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#137The thing I find the most funny about all of these demos is they outsource tasks that are pretty meaningful ... choosing where to hike, learning more about the world around you, instead, you'll be told what to do and live in blissful ignorance. The challenge of living life is also the joy, at least to me. Plus I would never trust a company like openai with all of my personal information. This is definitely just them…
Yeah, it's weird, I want to use LLMs to automate the boring stuff! But it all requires MFA to login so it doesn't work.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#138How does this page not immediately address what I assume is everyone's first question? Is this browser built on Chromium, or is it a completely fresh creation? I have to assume that because they AREN'T highlighting it that it IS built on Chromium.
the browser looks like it is based on Chromium indeed
That's because it is.
Just do this on the navigation bar: atlas://extensions
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#139major possible risk, for tech savvy people: another walled garden, unless:
- openai will open the memory interface (why would they?)
- openai will allow other models (why would they?)
- openai will allow a neutral agent/procedural layer (wwt?)
fingers crossed.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#140Probably me just being a doofus, however, it wasn't until reading an article about this (after already seeing the product page) that I learned this was a web browser we were talking about.
