Anyone feel like OpenAI is acting like Google lately? They announce a lot of products/features and then kill them when they realize people don't use them[0]. They also announce products way before they're ready for launch, just like google[1]. - GPT Plugins? (HN went crazy over this, they called it the "app store moment"...) - GPTs?! - Schedules? - Operator? - The original "codex" model? [0]: I know, the diff is that…

yeah the custom GPT announcement was literally a carbon copy of steve jobs announcing the app store down to the mannerisms and tics. You could tell they were doing it to give VC and private equity the pavlov bell "ring ring! this company is apple!" and remember the sora announcement just a couple weeks ago? oh you guys are tiktok and instagram reels now too? cool... everything that openAI does is laser focused on val…

My web browser runs as root? Atlas runs as root? Atlas is a keylogger that indiscriminately watches what I type? Are any of these things true?

I assume they mean a web browser has root access to everything you do online, which is so far-reaching nowadays that it's not far from having root over your whole machine in terms of actual exposure.

If you think this is useful... remember technology like this would make totalitarian leaders foam at the mouth. If you thought that ads are creepy, Atlas is a root level keylogger service. Why would you want an AI company scraping and recording all of your browser interactions. Yes Google already does this via Chrome.

After skimming the product page I'm still not sure what extra data exactly everyone is so confident is being gathered/used in a way that Google wouldn't already be doing in Chrome. As far as I can tell, most of these features are already integrated into Chrome but with Gemini. What exact feature in Atlas would need to log your every keystroke? Could they be doing that? Yes. But so could Google and in both cases they'…
