1/ Musk vs. Altman: The Emails You Weren’t Supposed to See

The early days of OpenAI were as intense as you'd imagine. Newly released emails show Musk, Altman, and team battling over AI control, DeepMind poaching threats, and even Musk calling out Microsoft deals. Altman pitched OpenAI as a world-changing nonprofit, while Sutskever flagged risks of “dictatorship” in AGI. Drama was inevitable—DeepMind’s counteroffers forced OpenAI to up salaries, and Musk didn’t hold back on concerns about Altman’s motives. Classic Musk vs. Sama chaos, but it’s a fascinating look at how OpenAI started.

2/ ChatGPT Desktop Updates You Might Actually Use

OpenAI is stepping up its game with ChatGPT desktop apps for Mac OS and Windows PC, making it easier for users to integrate AI into their daily workflows. Mac users can now launch apps like VS Code and Xcode directly from ChatGPT, streamlining coding tasks, while PC users get features like Advanced Voice Mode and screenshot tools. These updates rival GitHub Copilot’s IDE integrations and aim to keep users in the ChatGPT app for most tasks. OpenAI plans to expand third-party integrations and bring Mac features to Windows soon, making ChatGPT a central hub for productivity.

3/ OpenAI’s Upcoming Tool “Operator” Brings AI Closer to Everyday Use

OpenAI is gearing up to launch “Operator,” an AI agent designed to handle tasks like coding and travel booking on users' behalf. Set for a January release, Operator will function as a general-purpose tool through a browser or API for developers. This launch is part of a growing trend in AI “agents” that aim to complete complex, multi-step tasks with minimal user input. Both Anthropic and Microsoft have similar tools, and Google’s reportedly on the way.

4/ AI - The Poet You Didn't See Coming

Turns out, AI might be your new favorite poet. A study found that non-expert readers couldn't reliably tell AI-generated poems apart from those written by human poets. In fact, people often rated AI poems higher for qualities like rhythm and beauty. The kicker? AI's simpler, more direct style made it seem more "human" to readers. But when told a poem was AI-made, participants rated it less favorably. Looks like our poetry instincts might be a little off.

5/ Imagine a World Through AR Glasses—Niantic Just Did

Niantic, the genius behind Pokémon Go, is diving into the future with a new Large Geospatial Model (LGM) that could change how smart glasses work. This tech takes 3D mapping to the next level, letting machines "see" and interact with the world as humans do. Think AR glasses that not only guide you but also show historical views or future transformations of a location. With 10 million+ 3D scans and counting, Niantic’s creating a super-accurate digital map. It’s a game-changer for AR gaming, architecture, and beyond!
