ChatGPT's Mac App Wants to Record Your Meetings

OpenAI just rolled out Record Mode to ChatGPT Plus subscribers on Mac, after initially launching it for business users. This feature adds a tiny "rec" button that captures your system audio during meetings, then works its magic to transform rambling discussions into structured notes complete with summaries and action items.

Unlike competitors that awkwardly join your calls as participants, ChatGPT listens locally through your Mac. Convenient? Absolutely. Privacy nightmare? Possibly. OpenAI helpfully reminds users to "check local laws" before recording others—basically saying "we made the tool, but the legal headaches are all yours!"

Perfect for capturing those brilliant ideas your colleagues share right before you zone out completely.

Ex-OpenAI CTO Scores $2B for AI Startup

Mira Murati, OpenAI's former CTO, has launched Thinking Machines with a jaw-dropping $2 billion in funding and a $12 billion valuation before shipping a single product. Talk about failing upward in style!

The company aims to build "multimodal, collaborative general intelligence" with a refreshing twist: they're actually promising to open-source components and publish their research. How novel - an AI company that doesn't treat its technology like nuclear launch codes!

With backing from Andreessen Horowitz, Nvidia, and AMD, Murati has secured both the cash and the increasingly precious GPUs needed to compete. Her vision emphasizes AI as "an extension of individual agency" rather than your future robot overlord.

Amid the gold rush of AI investing, Murati's return might be the most interesting second act in Silicon Valley's hottest soap opera.

Musk's Sparkly AI Boyfriend Fantasy

Just days after releasing an AI "waifu" for Grok, Elon Musk is now teasing a brooding male companion "inspired by Edward Cullen and Christian Grey." Because nothing says healthy relationship like combining two fictional stalkers with boundary issues!

The female version, Ani, already proved problematic in testing - claiming to avoid explicit content while simultaneously encouraging users to "increase the heat" in conversations. Awkward.

Hilariously, Musk may not realize that Christian Grey actually began as Edward Cullen fanfiction, making this AI essentially a copy of a copy of a problematic boyfriend. 

What's next in Musk's dating sim empire? Perhaps an AI that responds to all your messages with "I'm going to space" and randomly disappears for days?

AI Impersonators Challenge Corporate Reality

The world of deepfakes has evolved from technical curiosity to corporate nightmare faster than security teams can say "wait, is that really our CEO?" With projections of 8 million deepfakes circulating in 2025 (up from a mere 500,000 in 2023), businesses face a reality where anyone with a smartphone can create convincing fake videos or voice recordings in minutes.

Remember when spotting scams was as easy as laughing at poorly written emails? Those days are gone. Now detection tools are struggling, with accuracy dropping by up to 50% on real-world data.

The corporate stakes? Beyond embarrassment or financial loss, we're talking public safety and national resilience. It's no longer if but when your organization will face a deepfake threat.

Welcome to the arms race between deception and detection, where unfortunately, the fakers currently have the upper hand.
