Im still weary of OpenAI being legally required to retain all of your data even if you delete it [0] . This means everything you expose to this tool will be permanently stored somewhere. Why isn’t this a bigger problem for people? Even privacy concerns aside… this would be the world’s most catastrophic data leak. [0]: https://openai.com/index/response-to-nyt-data-demands/

They literally created a precedent that’s it’s for use in legal cases if required… why would you want your entire digital life subject to subpoena?

Given that most of society already uses chrome with Google search on their adware ridden android phones it's not much of a change from that.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Did we watch the same demo. Maybe I skipped over those parts. It nailed one of my immediate needs. Grocery shopping. I really don’t want to waste time adding items to my Walmart shopping cart for pickup or delivery. I want to send a bunch of recipe videos, get back a book of my version of how to format a recipe and also a cart full for me to click purchase. They nailed this.

Until you look at the demo video and they put $12 worth of green onions in the shopping bag because chatgpt thought 6 green onions == 6 bunches of green onions

The guy did say "it could just checkout if you ask it too, but I prefer to review it first myself". Reviewing a list is much quicker than doing the whole shop provided it's 90% accurate. In the case you mention you click the minus button 5 times.

I'm Italian, I love cooking in my free time, it's also part of our culture. I honestly can't figure out what's stressfull and time wasting shopping for groceries, I often get lost inside the smell of vegetables, pickin the right one, looking for the right color, even optimizing for cost and less waste. I find it so relaxing and like a zen experience

I can't relate at all. I also hate just deciding on dishes. Subscribing to weekly meal kits is one of the best things I've done. I don't need to plan any meals and I only need to shop for basic stuff. I also cook way more varied recipes that I would otherwise never even think of.

The 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…

soon Chatgpt will hike for you, just watch!

You know that really powerful computer you have with a fancy graphics card and next-generation processor and all that RAM? You know that really fast Internet connection you have? Yeah we’re not really going to use any of that. Instead, we’re gonna farm out all of tasks you do to a data centre halfway across the country and complete it in the most inefficient way imaginable. Enjoy!

Is OpenAI’s current business model to steal ideas from other companies? CoT reasoning- stolen from Chinese AI labs, Codex is a ripoff of Claude Code. Sora is a low quality clone of Google’s Veo3. Like I thought Sam Altman’s pitch was AGI changing the nature of work not another Perplexity ripoff.

Implementing the most obvious ideas in the world is not stealing.

I'm usually an early adopter but wow every single browser except Firefox features AI integrations. It feels like a recipe for profound privacy leaks in the future. I suppose that's already a risk with OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini/etc websites but this will increase the blast radius exponentially.

...Firefox has an AI integration natively built in; have you not seen it yet?

I have not! I'm shocked and disappointed if it's on by default. I don't see any AI features in my Firefox UI...

I think that such feature is already available in Chrome https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/15305774?hl=en

Ah, makes sense why I need to use an extension for that: > To use this feature, you must be located in the US

I just don't get this. Google has SO MANY THINGS that are US only. While most other companies release things to everyone (like OpenAI).

How does Google expect to compete with OpenAI globally if they keep limitting the rest of the world?

Something's bugging me about Atlas - it's clearly Chromium-based (you can tell from the user agent and UI), but I can't find any credit to Chromium anywhere. No license info, no acknowledgments, and when I try to access chrome:// pages they're blocked. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but shouldn't there be some transparency about what you're building on top of? Especially with open source projects that have attribution…

If you go to

Help > ChaptGPT Atlas Help

it'll link you to some docs[1] and under "Setting up the Atlas browser"[2] it opens with

> Atlas is OpenAI’s Mac browser built on Chromium.

If that counts for anything.
