How much are they pressured to rush out browser for only macos? Either Linux or windows support would have made this launch look more legit.

They did the same thing for nearly 4 months with the ChatGPT desktop app, and it was literally just Electron. I think they just all use Macs and Windows is an afterthought.

I don't think they've ever released a Linux version of the ChatGPT Electron app and they said "Now available globally on macOS. Windows, iOS, and Android are coming soon" for this, so I wouldn't hold my breath for the Linux version of the browser either.

I turned off chatGPT memory entirely because it doesn't know how to segment itself. I was getting inane comments like this when asking about winter tires: Because you work in firmware (so presumably you appreciate measurement, risk, durability) you might be more critical of the “wear sooner than ideal” signals and want a tire with more robustness.

There was a phase when ChatGPT would respond to everything I said, even in the same request with something like “..here’s the thing that you asked for, of course, without the fluff.” Or blah blah blah “straight to the point.” Or some such thinly veiled euphemisms. No matter how many times I told it not to talk like that, it didn’t work until I found that “core memory”.

I hate that. ChatGPT makes itself sound smarter through compression and insider phrasing, and the output is harder to read without adding real clarity. That's why I can't use o3 or GPT-5. The performance layer gets in the way of the actual content, and it's not worth parsing through. I'm mostly avoiding it now.

We built an open source version, chatgpt atlas alternative https://github.com/AIPexStudio/AIPex Compared to Chatgpt Atlas, we have 3 parts of advantages 1. fully open source 2. respect your privacy, support BYOK 3. no migration need

Here are the highlights from the .DMG installer screens ( https://imgur.com/a/Tu4TlNu ): 1. Turn on browser memories Allow ChatGPT to remember useful details as you browse to give smarter responses and proactive suggestions. You're in control - memories stay private. 2. Ask ChatGPT - on any website Open the ChatGPT sidebar on any website to summarize, explain, or handle tasks - right next to what you're browsing. 3.…

The wars between LLMs are still hot, it's not expensive to get enough access for LLMs, like student version of Gemini.

More access for free users might not provide enough attraction.

Are we talking searching the URLs and titles? Or the full body of the page? The latter would require tracking a fuckton of data, including a whole lot of potentially sensitive data.

All of these LLMs already have the ability to go fetch content themselves, I'd imagine they'd just skim your URLs then do it's own token-efficient fetching. When I use research mode with Claude it crawls over 600 web pages sometimes so imagine they've figured out a way to skim down a lot of the actual content on pages for token context.

I made my own browser extension for that, uses readability and custom extractors to save content, but also summarizes the content before saving. Has a blacklist of sites not to record. Then I made it accessible via MCP as a tool, or I can use it to summarize activity in the last 2 weeks and have it at hand with LLMs.

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, it's the hottest tech company around right now, so there's probably a lot of parallels to Google in its heyday.
