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.…

How can you trust company that says Privacy in your control or some nonsense like that, when they scraped the whole internet and breached the foundation of privacy :)

Copying public data isn’t a breach of anyone’s privacy.

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…

What value? I haven't used them myself, but from reviews I've seen on Youtube they appear to be flaky and not all that useful. It reminds me of when voice assistants like Siri came out, and it turned out that the only thing they were good for was setting timers, controlling music playback, and gimmicky stuff like that.

That's _still_ the only thing they're good at...

They should really back projects like Servo or Ladybird to cut down on their reliance on Chromium/Webkit. It’s the only way to truly support an open-source ecosystem and push forward the next generation of browser engine, even if it takes time.

Yeah but that requires time and effort. If they couldn't be bothered to launch on Windows and Linux when Chromium already has solid support for both, bringing up an immature browser engine was never going to happen.

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 have the same issue. I often get annoyed with ChatGPT yammering on and on, so I repeatedly told it to cut to the chase and speak more succinctly. Now it just says "I'll get right to the point..." and then still yammers on and on unabated.

LLMs are like children; telling them to not do something puts the idea in their 'head'.

Instead, telling them to do the opposite works. "Brevity is appreaciated", or "Preserve Tokens and be concise."

That just shows they were in a rush to release the product rather than taking time to refine it. You can tell it’s quite rough and simple, with almost no distinctive visual style.

Very interesting that you can switch on having website content summarized locally. I wonder which model they are using for that.

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/12574142-chatgpt-atlas-d...

# Enable on-device summaries: Users on macOS 26 have the option to have web content summarized on their device, so that web contents are not sent to our servers.

bit off topic but openai seems to be focusing completely on Apple's ecosystem now, particularly for the US market too and as non-apple user outside of the US I feel completely left out. Half a trillion dollar company not being to produce multi-platform software when it has never been as easy as it is today is a really bad look. I genuinely don't understand how they could ever fulfill their claims of being good AGI st…

I guess they want to do it first where the opportunity for monetization is best.

Sounds like how they typically design their services, which I like. It's easy to the eyes

What's not to get? Talk to your political representatives about reining in the EDPB if you want access to cutting edge features. Or if you are not in the EU, spend more money I guess and become an attractive market.

"Ask your politicians to allow foreign companies free reign with users' data" is certainly a wild take. It's google's choice to forgo privacy and thus a huge market like the EU. Other companies, like OpenAI, seem to manage fine.

At some point, Europe will learn that if they keep preventing international solutions without creating a climate in which similar or better local solutions can emerge, they are cutting their own nose to spite the face. There are secondary and tertiary effects of this, and eventually the 'huge market' will shrink in importance. I mean, Brazil is a huge market, and no-one cares about them thanks to brain-dead legislation concerning tech imports and economic irrelevance.

Any information on how to make webs and web apps easier to navigate for these agents? I got it using some apps and it did amazing job. However I realized it complains about certain (very ovious) buttons being not easy to see
