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…

Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#632Im 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/
Same reason why Chrome and Gmail won. People don't care. Even most people on HN don't care if the tool is slightly better than the competition.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#633Feels like they’ve reached a plateau and are experimenting with new ways to attract paying users. Maybe the current generation of LLMs has already given all it can for now.

#635Something'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…
Honestly, it feels like they're intentionally trying to scrub any traces of Chromium or Google. No mention anywhere, blocked chrome:// pages, UI stripped of references—it's as if they don't want users to realize it's built on open-source tech. It's a weird move for transparency and doesn't sit right with me, especially with all the attribution requirements.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#636Now many probably are not into these AIs features, but later newcomers will. The generations get dumber because we live on these platforms that make us dumber. That's why apps like Instagram or TikTok are so successful, because they rely on the young generation whom got dumber by using these platforms. Same thing will be with AI, where everyone will use AI while getting dumber.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#637The 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…
Yea totally - like those Black Mirror-esque (and South Park?) videos of people having AI talk to their partner about deep relationship stuff. We just built a mechanical parts AI search engine [1], and a lot of what it does it just get the best options clustered together, and then give the user the power to do the deeper engineering work of part selection in a UI that makes more sense for the task than a chat UI. Feel…
Gives me a weird/strange feeling.

#638Earlier quoted context omitted.
It would be great if it could do my taxes, or schedule a doctor's appointment, or do literally anything that's actually difficult and time consuming, but because those problems haven't already been solved by APIs it can't and never will be able to.
that’s an extraordinary thing to say. I would unsurprised if this was common in a couple of years.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#639The day where human art is redundant has arrived, or at least very close. Soon we will be speaking with AIs, and AIs will be speaking with our AIs while we supervise. No art, no appreciation, only self-involvement. Now many probably are not into these AIs features, but later newcomers will. The generations get dumber because we live on these platforms that make us dumber. That's why apps like Instagram or TikTok are…
