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

Saw that and still not a concern here. Quicker to refine than it is to work through the whole list.

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/

this would be the world’s most catastrophic data leak.

Why?

So openAI's answer to Perplexity's Comet. I'm afraid this will be the future, as these AI-browsers do truly bring value. But they open up the gate for a single Big Tech Winner that truly knows everything about you, and can even control everything on your behalf. I really hope open-source Browsers like Firefox follow up soon with better alternatives, like on-device LLMs to counteract the "all in the cloud" LLM approac…

Definitely the feature but I'm sure Gemini is seconds away (figuratively) from invading Chrome and if it has an agent mode itself, it will eat everybody's lunch in the browser space.

OpenAI picking up where Apple Intelligence continues to severely lag.

I'd prefer these features were bundled into MacOS.

Where possible, process using FoundationLLM, and having Apple reach for their own privately hosted instance of a frontier model when needed.

It seems obvious to me the company must transform macOS's capabilities here as quality AI assistance is enmeshed in the operating system's UX as a whole.

I think Apple Intelligence probably has good bones to begin with but is vastly underpowered in the local model and needs to hide frontier model usage completely in its tech stack.

Because sama has mentioned that a heck of a lot of people use ChatGPT to discuss some of their deepest secrets and fantasies.

Content owners / data companies are going to all have to close up shop. If this is the direction we're now in - how can they stop their content being ingested into models/recalled by OpenAI/Google/MS.

But why? The AI can go off and search and I can do other stuff while it does. The point is the multiply how much you can get done, simple searches still require me to be present and to do the work of compiling the list myself, this type of busy work seems much better suited to tools like this that take a sentence or 2 to kick off

My brain can't work like that. When I'm pursuing things, I always await until the blocking operation is done, something about uninterrupted train of thought and avoiding context switching.

With LLMs we're all becoming managers. Good news is we'll get more done. Bad news is that we'll have to get way better at persisting mid-state process status (I sometimes ask my LLM "could you summarize what we were talking about and why"), tracking outstanding tasks (linear for our agents) and jumping between contexts.

I am also finding work is becoming more tiring. As I'm able to delegate all the rote stuff I feel like decision fatigue is hitting harder/faster as all I spend my time doing is making the harder judgement decisions that the LLMs don't do well enough yet.

Particularly tough in generalist roles where you're doing a little bit of a wide range of things. In a week I might need to research AI tools and leadership principles, come up with facilitation exercises, envision sponsorship models, create decks, write copy, build and filter ICP lists, automate outreach, create articles, do taxes, find speakers, select a vendor for incorporation, find a tool for creating and maintaining logos, fonts and design systems and think deeply about how CTOs should engage with AI strategically. I'm usually burned pretty hard by Friday night :(

I'm testing this and it's really weird not being taken straight to a Google results page when I type something. Honestly, I'm quite comfortable just switching to the ChatGPT app and typing my query there if I want to use it, and then relying on the browser if I just want to hit Command+Tab and search it on Google. But I'll test it out and see what happens.

I'm not so sure this is much worse than Chrome. Really in today's world if you're not browsing the web like multiple people are looking over your shoulder you're probably doing it wrong. And most of the steps people do to mitigate privacy violations (TOR, pihole, VPNs, etc.) probably make any signal you do put out more scrutinized. The one solution I do like is the iCloud private relay which I hope some reputable VPN…

Does Google have my .env files that I've opened via Chrome?

it has yours and your next door neighbour's as well

What I would like is to be able to add a meta tag to my web app pointing to my mcp server and have this browser load it in automatically whenever I visit
