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 th…

The whole integration thing is weird. Siri sucks. ChatGPT can be triggered in a similar way. Siri can use ChatGPT. AppleIntelligence is garbage. I think apple is in a weird crisis spot where they can't quite figure out how to integrate it all, and are scared of ditching Siri entirely. Or maybe any kinds of ChatGPT integrations have just been stopgaps. Or, they go way deeper into integrations. They let ChatGPT in deep…

> Siri sucks.

I’m surely in a niche group here, but I’m appreciating Siri more and more.

It’s a mostly competent tool for basic operations and simple questions. For something I interact with over audio, I’ll choose that over a bullshit machine any day of the week.

If the DeepSeek approach to training hyperscaler models "cheaply" after all the hype wears down works, we just need to follow in their footsteps and build open source alternatives to everything. Frontier models take a lot of money and experimentation. But then people figure out how to train them and knowledge of those models and approaches leaks. Furthermore, we can make informed guesses. But best of all, we can exfi…

> There may be no moat for any of this. It's what I was thinking looking at the launch video. Is there a moat? No, there is none. The LLM itself is fungible, what matters is the agentic and memory layer on top. That can be reconstructed easily. All you need to do is export your data from old providers to bootstrap your system in another place. I actually did that, exported from reddit, hn, youtube, chatgpt, claude an…

Very interesting and I would also love to export my own data! Care to share/elaborate a little further how you went into doing this, especially with platforms that do not offer the option to export your own data.

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”.

Interesting, that's been driving me absolutely bananas, especially in the voice chat where it takes up like 60% of the response. What kind of core memory did you turn off and how did you find it?

It was something I instructed it once and forgot about. When I checked in the settings under “memories” I finally discovered the culprit and removed it.

I’m not sure about voice chat, though - it’s equally frustrating for me. Often, it’s excessively verbose, repeating my question with unnecessary commentary that doesn’t contribute to the answer. I haven’t tried the personality tweaks they recently introduced in the settings - I wonder if those also affect voice chat, because that could be a potential solution.

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.…

This may be the first time I see a 'perk' of choosing a browser as default. People will probably leave it default past the perk period.

this is genius to be honest

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?

Its not by choice

In the future we all will use 50 different Chromium based browsers

We already do with Electron

While using Electron does indeed allow us to run web technologies across platforms, the conversation around browser diversity goes beyond packaging websites as desktop apps. Many mainstream apps are built with Electron, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for innovation in the browser space. Projects like THIS ONE (ChatGPT Atlas) attempt to integrate AI features more tightly with browsing to enhance productivity.

It's worth mentioning that there are alternatives to Electron for building cross‑platform desktop applications that are more resource‑efficient. *Tauri*, for example, uses Rust for the backend and leverages the system's built‑in WebView instead of bundling Chromium.

We may "already do" have tons of cross‑platform apps with Electron, but exploring alternatives like Tauri or even new browser engines could lead to better performance and I'm hopeful that new approaches will push the envelope further.

I hope they start to-reinvent the way things are accessed so that I can stop being the product.

You can already ask ChatGPT for product recommendations and they(at least in what they say) don't take product placement or ad money.

It would be incredibly refreshing to have a portal into the current internet in which I am not the product.

I'd pay them substantially to be an unbiased assistant rather than some conglomerate shoving whatever they're paid to shove down my throat

For those who don't want to switch browsers I built a chrome extension that lets you chat with page, draft emails and messages, fix grammar, translate, summarize page, etc. You can use models not just from OpenAI but also from Google and Anthropic. Yes, you can use your own API key as well. https://jetwriter.ai Feedbacks are welcome.

Can’t believe the top comment to this post is an ad of a competitor. No offense, your extension seems fine, but realistically how are you planning on surviving given OpenAI has moved to this space?

There's way more people using chrome (right now) than this new browser.
