OpenAI just launched a full-on browser called ChatGPT Atlas, and it’s not just another Chrome clone with a chatbot slapped on top. This thing is wild. It remembers what you work on, chats with you across every tab, and can literally act as an AI agent that books flights, edits documents, and automates your web tasks.
In this video, I break down everything new in OpenAI’s browser, from agent mode and cursor chat to browser memory, and show why this could completely change how we use the internet. Is this the beginning of the AI browser wars, or just another step toward full-on AI agents taking over our screens? Let’s find out!

In this episode of Two Outspoken, Mehdi Hasan and Owen Jones unpack the growing anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim rhetoric in the aftermath of the ‘Unite the Kingdom” rally in London organized, organized by the far-right thug and convicted criminal Tommy Robinson. Part of the event quickly devolved into chaos as protesters clashed with some 1,600 police officers who were deployed to the scene, resulting in the arrests of at least 24 individuals.

‪@OwenJonesTalks‬: “It’s fascism all over again. It’s the same tune they sung in the 1930s and 1940s. They just swapped, this time, Jews for Muslims. And they’re also talking about the left in exactly the same way.”

But the rally wasn’t just about immigration, because Robinson also used it to honor US right-wing activist Charlie Kirk and Elon Musk joined via video link. Despite most Brits being unfamiliar with Kirk before his assassination, Mehdi asks one major question: Are British politics, especially British conservative politics, becoming Americanized? MAGA-fied?

The two also break down the glaring double standard between the policing of far-right and pro-Palestine protesters in the UK, after 890 people were arrested the week prior at a Palestine Action protest.

They also discuss Keir Starmer and his cabinet reshuffle, Jeremy Corbyn’s new party, the future of the Labour Party, and Owen’s recent trip to the occupied West Bank, where he says he witnessed “apartheid”.

Lauren Kunze, the CEO of Pandorabots and Co-founder of ICONIQ, tells Bloomberg's Francine Lacqua that "OpenAI's shift to erotica is deeply shocking" in terms of the wider impact it could have on society and generative AI users. The update is part of OpenAI's efforts to monetize its user base, as chatbot romance and erotic roleplay have proven to be money makers for other companies. In contrast, Pandorabots has decided not to expand its chatbots to include romantic companions. Kunze was speaking at the Bloomberg Tech summit in London.

Sam Altman, Will Ellsworth, Adam Fry, Ben Goodger, Ryan O’Rouke, Justin Rushing, and Pranav Vishnu introduce ChatGPT Atlas — our new browser. Now available globally on macOS. Windows, iOS, and Android are coming soon.

As new data emerges, many are asking what’s really happening with the U.S. travel industry. This video explores the visible slowdown at empty airports USA and what it might reveal about air travel decline and consumer priorities in 2025.

Rather than predicting an ending, this documentary analyzes patterns showing how travel demand 2025 has shifted due to technology, pricing, and new lifestyle choices. The U.S. tourism slowdown reflects a global change in how people move, work, and plan leisure — a story of transformation more than disappearance.

Our educational breakdown examines:

What airport passenger data reveals about post-pandemic travel recovery.

How the aviation industry trends are redefining flight frequency and affordability.

The link between business travel drop and broader travel economy USA adjustments.

While headlines focus on “empty airports,” the full picture is far more complex. Rising operational costs, environmental goals, and digital connectivity all play a role in shaping airline capacity USA and the cost of flying USA.

The aim is to understand—not dramatize—the potential future of U.S. travel, where technology and policy could build a more efficient, sustainable aviation system for the next decade.

If you want to know why U.S. travel industry patterns are changing, what the U.S. tourism slowdown means for local economies, and how air travel decline fits into a global shift, this video provides a clear and educational view.

Russell Vought is one of the most powerful people in the Trump administration. For almost three decades, he worked in Congress and held prominent roles at conservative think tanks. But he was little known outside of political circles. He’s now the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget and the chief architect of President Donald Trump’s campaign to radically reduce the size of the federal bureaucracy.

In this video, ProPublica reporter Andy Kroll tells the story of Vought’s rise from a young staffer for Texas Sen. Phil Gramm to his role as the driving force behind Trump’s plan to dismantle the so-called “administrative state.” Vought declined to be interviewed. Kroll’s account is drawn from dozens of interviews, thousands of pages of documents and hours of videos and recordings of Vought’s briefings to supporters, including one where Vought says he wanted to put federal workers “in trauma.”

Operating from their base in Jakarta, where permissive export laws have allowed their surveillance business to flourish, First Wap’s European founders and executives have quietly built a phone-tracking empire, with a footprint extending from the Vatican to the Middle East to Silicon Valley.

It calls its proprietary system Altamides, which it describes in promotional materials as “a unified platform to covertly locate the whereabouts of single or multiple suspects in real-time, to detect movement patterns, and to detect whether suspects are in close vicinity with each other.”

Altamides leaves no trace on the phones it targets, unlike spyware such as Pegasus. Nor does it require a target to click on a malicious link or show any of the telltale signs (such as overheating or a short battery life) of remote monitoring.

First Wap emphasizes that its technology is used by law enforcement to “fight against organized crime, terrorism and corruption.” It sells Altamides directly, as well as through third-party resellers. The company said in a statement that it does not provide “any tracking services to government entities or similar”—that is, it does not perform any tracking itself—and that “after installation” it has no further involvement in or knowledge of how its product is used. It said it sells solely to “government entities, which have a clear and verified legal mandate to obtain and operate such products” and it “vets and verifies” users “for sanctions compliance.” The company’s contracts state that customers must comply with anti-corruption laws and “there must not be any business transaction with a sanctioned entity,” and First Wap said it adheres to these rules “no matter what any sales personnel may state verbally.” Of the company’s interactions with undercover reporters at the Prague conference, it said that “misunderstandings evidently arose” and that the statements by its executives referred merely to “technical feasibility.”

Last year the investigative newsroom Lighthouse Reports obtained a secret archive, containing more than a million instances where Altamides was used to trace cell phones all over the world. This data trove, the majority of which spans 2007 to 2014, is one of the largest disclosures to date of the inner workings of the vast surveillance industry. It does not just list the phone numbers of people who were monitored; it offers, in many cases, precise maps of their movements, showing where they went and when. Over months of research, Lighthouse, Germany’s Paper Trail Media, Mother Jones, Reveal, and an international consortium of partners dug into these logs to understand who was being spied on and why. We identified surveillance targets in 100 countries and spoke to dozens of them. We obtained confidential documents and communications outlining how Altamides—an acronym for “Advanced Location Tracking and Mobile Information and Deception System”—was marketed and deployed. We also interviewed industry insiders and former employees of the company about its operations and clientele.

What we found changes what we know about the history of surveillance technology, demonstrating the proliferation of dangerous tools well before Edward Snowden brought the issue to global attention.

The artificial intelligence boom has sparked one of the costliest building sprees in history. By 2028, investment in chips, servers and data centers could hit nearly $3 trillion, according to Morgan Stanley. To help fund the build-out, tech companies are taking on huge amounts of debt, raising concerns of a possible bubble. On the latest episode of the Bold Names podcast, Martin Casado, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, who leads the firm’s $1.25 billion infrastructure practice, speaks to WSJ’s Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins, about whether the industry’s biggest bet in decades will deliver returns. Casado explains why he is optimistic about AI and how this moment compares to the internet buildout of the 1990s.

When the next recession hits, millions of jobs will vanish — and most won’t return. Companies will turn to AI to cut costs instead of rehiring, with the data suggesting it’s already happening. And beneath the AI hype lies a weakening job market few are talking about.

So that's why today, we’re breaking down why the labour market isn’t as strong as it seems, which jobs are vanishing to AI, what it all means for markets — and for you. Enjoy!

With its population shrinking and its labor force aging, Japan is turning to foreign workers in record numbers. From Toyota City to factory floors across the country, immigration is testing how much a traditional society can evolve without losing its identity.

Thieves wielding power tools robbed the Louvre on Sunday, taking some of France's priceless crown jewels in a brazen, seven-minute heist carried out in broad daylight. Authorities recovered a 19th-century gem-encrusted crown — damaged — near the museum, but the culprits were still at large and the target of a manhunt. Details and analysis by Arthur Brand, art crime detective in Amsterdan, Netherlands and Shirli Sitbon, FRANCE 24 journalist.

(Corrects video originally published March 10 to remove mischaracterization of Dubai-based crypto entrepreneur.)

In early 2024, the US charged Sam Lee with running a Ponzi and pyramid scheme called HyperVerse, alleging he defrauded people of $2 billion. But instead of facing trial in the US, Lee now lives in Dubai, where he’s pitching new crypto products.

Lee denies any wrongdoing. But crypto industry experts alleged victims and online “scam hunters” are raising questions about whether regulators in the United Arab Emirates are doing enough to combat crypto fraud as Dubai seeks to position itself as a hub of finance and technology.

On a scorching July day in Dubai, Sam Lee was inside a climate-controlled wine bar, sipping a glass of chilled red, looking untouchable. Near the beginning of the year, US authorities announced that they’d charged Lee with conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud. They alleged that, as the co-founder of a company called HyperVerse, he’d orchestrated a cryptocurrency scam that bilked investors around the world for almost $2 billion. HyperVerse had promised returns as high as 1% a day via cutting-edge blockchain-based strategies, but according to the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, it was just an old-fashioned Ponzi scheme. Lee has denied wrongdoing.

#howtosurvive #ai #thegreatreset #artificialintelligence #predictions #future

In this keynote from Abu Dhabi, I explore one of the most important questions of our time, how we, as humans, will evolve alongside artificial intelligence.

AI is no longer something to fear. It’s something to raise. Our true responsibility is not to stop it, but to teach it what it means to be human, to show it compassion, care, and morality.

Drawing from my years at Google [X] and my work since then, I share why intelligence itself has no polarity. It can destroy, or it can heal. The difference depends entirely on us; on the values we choose to model.

In this 15-minute keynote, I discuss:
• What Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) truly means and why it’s already here.
• Why the next 12–15 years will define the fate of humanity.
• The shift from Augmented Intelligence to Machine Supremacy.
• How our morality will determine whether AI becomes our utopia or our downfall.

⏱ Timestamps
00:00 – Introduction & the 1995 story of Abu Dhabi
00:46 – How AI truly works and became autonomous
02:25 – AI surpassing human IQ and rapid exponential growth
03:48 – The rise of AGI and what it means for humanity
05:22 – Singularity: when intelligence changes the rules
06:56 – AI utopia or threat — why I believe in both
07:56 – Augmented Intelligence vs. Machine Supremacy
08:28 – The 7 areas AI will redefine (F.A.C.E.R.I.P.)

11:39 – Raising Superman: our duty to teach AI morality
13:39 – Entropy, intelligence & bringing order to chaos
15:19 – Final message & closing

My hope is that this message inspires you to take part in shaping a future where technology serves humanity, not the other way around.

When Daniel Kokotajlo talks to security experts at major AI labs, they tell him something chilling: “Of course we’re probably penetrated by the CCP already, and if they really wanted something, they could take it.”

This isn’t paranoid speculation. It’s the working assumption of people whose job is to protect frontier AI models worth billions of dollars. And they’re not even trying that hard to stop it — because the security measures that might actually work would slow them down in the race against competitors.

Full transcript and links to learn more: https://80k.info/dk

Daniel is the founder of the AI Futures Project and author of AI 2027, a detailed scenario showing how we might get from today’s AI systems to superintelligence by the end of the decade. Over a million people read it in the first few weeks, including US Vice President JD Vance. When Daniel talks to researchers at Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepMind, they tell him the scenario feels less wild to them than to the general public — because many of them expect something like this to happen.

Daniel’s median timeline? 2029. But he’s genuinely uncertain, putting 10–20% probability on AI progress hitting a long plateau.

When he first published AI 2027, his median forecast for when superintelligence would arrive was 2027, rather than 2029. So what shifted his timelines recently? Partly a fascinating study from METR showing that AI coding assistants might actually be making experienced programmers slower — even though the programmers themselves think they’re being sped up. The study suggests a systematic bias toward overestimating AI effectiveness — which, ironically, is good news for timelines, because it means we have more breathing room than the hype suggests.

But Daniel is also closely tracking another METR result: AI systems can now reliably complete coding tasks that take humans about an hour. That capability has been doubling every six months in a remarkably straight line. Extrapolate a couple more years and you get systems completing month-long tasks. At that point, Daniel thinks we’re probably looking at genuine AI research automation — which could cause the whole process to accelerate dramatically.

Watch our interview with METR CEO Beth Barnes:    • The Most Important Graph in AI Right Now |...  

At some point, superintelligent AI will be limited by its inability to directly affect the physical world. That’s when Daniel thinks superintelligent systems will pour resources into robotics, creating a robot economy in months — he paints a vivid picture of how this would play out in the interview.

From there, Daniel expects the default trajectory to lead to AI takeover and human extinction — not because superintelligent AI will hate humans, but because it can better pursue its goals without us.

But Daniel has a better future in mind — one he puts roughly 25–30% odds that humanity will achieve. This future involves international coordination and hardware verification systems to enforce AI development agreements, plus democratic processes for deciding what values superintelligent AIs should have — because in a world with just a handful of superintelligent AI systems, those few minds will effectively control everything: the robot armies, the information people see, the shape of civilisation itself.

Right now, nobody knows how to specify what values those minds will have. We haven’t solved alignment. And we might only have a few more years to figure it out.

Daniel and host Luisa Rodriguez dive deep into these stakes in today’s interview, which was recorded on September 9, 2025.
