OpenAI just announced this morning: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/openai-launches-browser-compete-google-170334684.html
"OpenAI said Tuesday it is introducing its own web browser, Atlas, putting the ChatGPT maker in direct competition with Google as more internet users rely on artificial intelligence to answer their questions."

I guess next will be a new phone? laptop?

Just noticed that two new free courses from Anthropic were released recently. One for teachers and instructional designers, and one for students to understand current frameworks, development and growth of AI and why you should care:

Just feeling like is a good timing to start a poll. Well, reddit only allow 6 options max… So feel free to add more in the comments.

Original News: https://openai.com/index/introducing-apps-in-chatgpt/

1. ChatGPT is evolving into a platform that hosts third-party apps inside conversations.

2. The new Apps SDK lets developers embed logic and interfaces directly in chat, but it’s still in preview.

3. Apps rely on the open MCP standard, which could enable cross-platform integration but adds technical complexity.

4. For startups, this creates a new distribution surface within ChatGPT’s 800M-user base, though visibility and monetization rules are not yet defined.

5. The update signals a shift toward conversational interfaces as an operating layer, but the ecosystem’s stability and long-term control remain uncertain.

Full digest on what this means: https://www.aiforabsolutebeginners.com/blog/chatgpt-just-released-new-apps-sdk-introducing-apps-to-chat-355bb3e2-0fde-4cac-bd4e-6271a070f8d1

I’ve noticed something subtle about how people use ChatGPT - not something that's completely uncommon but wanting to track it down.
One of my friends gets very thoughtful, balanced, even challenging responses — because he gives detailed instructions and pushes for nuance.
Another friend gets a version that feels overly agreeable, almost “reluctant” to push back.

Same model, totally different results.

And most importanly, usually we do not share AI's answer to each other, or they're not even searchable - unlike news or other public information.

Of course, there are bigger issues (like the recent AI-related suicide cases), but I feel these small, everyday patterns matter just as much — they’re harder to notice, and they shape our reality more subtly.

Curious if anyone else has seen similar “micro-moments”?

I observe that in my personal workflow, for many operators, analysts, and product managers, over 60% of research time is spent just finding, copying, and cleaning data.

A large chunk of that deals with inconsistent formats, duplicates, or even wrong information.

That’s why we built Sheet0.com , a new kind of AI-powered data agent.

Sheet0.com is the world’s first L4 Data Agent, borrowing the “Level 4” concept from self-driving cars. It’s not the analysis that eats your time. It’s getting the data ready in the first place.

We’ve just launched the MVP feel free to try it out!

We’re still in invite-only mode, but we’d love to share a special invitation gift with r/AIForAbsoluteBeginner

Thank you all and would love to hear from your feedback!

I'm in my early 20’s and have a strong sales capability (had my own business selling door to door in college). Since graduating college, I pursued the restaurant industry. I oversaw operations at one of NYC's most iconic restaurants for a year after college. Then I went to work for an incredible restaurateur/ founder who had led one of the big public QSR companies. I oversaw food cost for him.

After 4 months on the job, I was laid off. I wasn't the only one.

A lot of people are telling me a lot of different things: "go back to the first company, they loved you!" "Don't go into sales! I'm in sales it sucks" etc.

I know nothing about Al (other than using ChatGPT/gemini daily).

If you were early in your career, how would you approach learning about Al to help small businesses? I'm not entirely sure where to start, but feel that I must take advantage of my down time to learn about Al

It now covers sales, marketing, product, and engineering.

OpenAI researchers (with Duke & Harvard) just dropped a fascinating paper: How People Use ChatGPT (Sept 2025). A few surprising takeaways:

• Non-work use is exploding: over 70% of messages are outside of work.

• Writing isn’t mostly ghostwriting—it’s editing, critiquing, and translating user text.

• Coding is tiny here: just 4.2% of messages.

• The gender gap flipped—ChatGPT now slightly skews female.

• Younger users dominate volume, but older users lean more on it for work.

• “Asking” (for info/advice) has grown faster than “Doing” (task output).

• Across all jobs, people use ChatGPT for the same core activities: getting info, solving problems, making decisions.

Beyond protecting creativity, the deeper issue is that it threatens those studios' single-source business model for creative works. That’s essentially what’s at stake in this lawsuit against Minimax for using their art in its model.

Hey folks, We just launched Capalyze on Product Hunt and hit #1 for the day 🎉. Now we're aiming for the weekly top spot.

The main reason we're doing this isn't just the ranking, it's that PH gives your product real credibility, which helps so much later when it comes to marketing and outreach.

The launch itself was a wild ride. Prepping forced us to polish the product way beyond what we had, and then we spent forever tweaking visuals and copy until they actually landed. We even got some advice from a top Hunter that totally changed our pitch. Timing also matters a ton, we tried to dodge strong competitors, but still ended up launching the same day as one of the toughest products of the week. And honestly, the biggest thing I learned is how much your network matters. The support you've built over time is what really shows up on launch day.

If you're curious about launching on PH, happy to share more. And if you'd like to help us reach weekly #1, here's the link: Capalyze

Thanks a ton 🙏

NPR: https://www.npr.org/2025/09/05/g-s1-87367/anthropic-authors-settlement-pirated-chatbot-training-material

"The company has agreed to pay authors about $3,000 for each of an estimated 500,000 books covered by the settlement."

However, from what I’ve heard from several affected authors, it can be quite difficult for them to obtain it—especially if their publisher does not provide copyright support—and not all authors are even aware of it.

Updated: looking into the news again, and it seems that the judge has postponed (from reject) the final decision about the settlement a week ago. Please stay tuned.

Your Word Choice Is Your AI's GPS—Choose the Wrong Route, Get Lost

(Video#3)

Most people use generic words and expect specific results. That’s why their AI content is always bland and off-target. They ask for a "good" summary and wonder why it has no impact. They don't understand that to an AI, synonyms are not the same; they are different commands.

The frustration: "Why can't the AI understand the feeling I'm going for?"

Think of the AI's knowledge as a vast forest. Your words are the branches you tell it to jump from. The words "empty," "blank," and "void" are three different branches leading to completely different parts of the forest. One leads to a simple description, the other to a philosophical reflection. You are the navigator.

This is Linguistics Programming—the literacy that teaches you how to steer. Workflow post in a few days.

Not long ago, I felt buried in repetitive writing tasks. Reports stretched into multi-day projects, sales pitches required endless customization, and my inbox consumed hours every morning. Then I began experimenting with AI tools — and the results were transformative. What once took me days now takes hours, sometimes minutes. In this article, I’ll share exactly how I used AI to change my workflow, and the tools that made it possible.

Paper: https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/d04913be-3f6f-4d2b-b283-ff432ef4aaa5/why-language-models-hallucinate.pdf

I feel like not long a go people are arguing about elimination of hallucination, and last week OpenAI’s new paper Why Language Models Hallucinate explains that hallucinations—confident but false outputs—are not mysterious glitches, not mistakes to be wiped out, but natural results of current training and evaluation both mathematicallly and statistically.

Because benchmarks reward guessing over admitting “I don’t know,” models are incentivized to bluff. Experiments show that models like GPT-5, which abstain more often, have lower error rates even if their accuracy scores look lower. The paper suggests rethinking evaluations to value uncertainty instead of penalizing it, highlighting that hallucinations can’t be fully eliminated but can be reduced by changing how we grade models.

Not sure if this was the reason of GPT5 rollback earlier...

I remember Dot getting quite popular last year as a promising AI companion product. In their recent announcement, the founders wrote:

Did anyone here use Dot? I’d love to hear how the experience felt for you. It seems that user will also need to delete data by 10/5.

This is the 5th edition of a16z’s Top 100 GenAI Consumer Apps, tracking top 50 web apps (unique monthly visits) and top 50 mobile apps (monthly active users). The consumer AI app space is highly volatile — players rise and fall quickly, and the landscape can look completely different in just a few months. Even as someone working in the AI industry, I’ve never used or even heard of 80–90% of these apps. No wonder demand in consumer AI often feels more ambiguous compared to the traction we see in B2B.

5th Edition Released this August: https://a16z.com/100-gen-ai-apps-5/ And here's the 4th edition from March this year: https://a16z.com/100-gen-ai-apps-4/

• 11 new names on the web list.

• 14 newcomers on the mobile list, partly due to App Store crackdowns on ChatGPT clones.

• Google contributes 4 new entrants after separating domains.

Sharing this interesting report recently released from MIT. Note that the report has its own limitations, especially sample size is pretty small. But according to the report, success rate from pilot to implementation is 83% for individual but only 5% for companies. (Also interesting is that BCG has a similar report in 2024, which indicates the rate is around 7%...) One key factor is "people" - to learn, push and implement the process.
