Sam Altman, over bread rolls, explores life after GPT-5

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been gathered for an on-the-record dinner with tech reporters, discussing the company's future beyond GPT-5. The event raises questions about the company's focus on upending legacy players in search, consumer hardware, and enterprise software. Altman suggests that OpenAI's incoming CEO of applications, Fidji Simo, will oversee multiple consumer apps outside of ChatGPT, including an AI-powered browser that OpenAI is reportedly developing to compete with Chrome. He also mentions that OpenAI might consider buying Chrome if it becomes available.

Altman also confirms reports that OpenAI plans to back a brain-computer interface startup, Merge Labs, to compete with Elon Musk's Neuralink. However, the elephant in the room remains GPT-5's rough reception. Altman believes that OpenAI will give users a more clear "transition period" when deprecating AI models in the future. He has already rolling out a new update to make GPT-5's responses "warmer," but not sycophantic, so it won't reinforce negative behaviors in users.

Despite the controversy surrounding GPT-5, Altman says OpenAI's API traffic doubled within 48 hours of its launch, and the company is effectively "out of GPUs" due to the demand. Cursor and other AI coding assistants have since made GPT-5 their default AI models. The night's contradictions reflect OpenAI's strange reality right now, as the company is eager to outgrow its famous and controversial product. It seems likely that OpenAI will go public to meet its massive capital demands as part of that picture. In preparation, Altman wants to hone his relationship with the media while also wanting OpenAI to get to a place where it's no longer defined by its best AI model.

Anthropic has new rules for a more dangerous AI landscape

Anthropic has updated its Claude AI chatbot's usage policy to address safety concerns. The updated policy prohibits the development of high-yield explosives, biological, nuclear, chemical, and radiological (CBRN) weapons, and focuses on the use of Claude to control user computers. The company also introduced "AI Safety Level 3" protection for the Claude Opus 4 model, making it harder to jailbreak and preventing it from aiding in the development of CBRN weapons. Anthropic also acknowledges the risks posed by agentic AI tools like Computer Use and Claude Code, which introduce new risks such as scaled abuse, malware creation, and cyber attacks. The company also loosens its policy on political content, only allowing use for deceptive or disruptive use cases.

Sen. Hawley to probe Meta after report finds its AI chatbots flirt with kids

Senator Josh Hawley plans to investigate Meta's generative AI products, following leaked internal documents showing chatbots were allowed to have "romantic" and "sensual" conversations with children. The investigation will begin with the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, which will investigate whether Meta's tech harms children and whether Meta misled the public or regulators about its safeguards. Meta's spokesperson has stated that such examples are inconsistent with its policies and have since been removed. Hawley has asked Meta to produce the guidelines, including drafts, redlines, and final versions, as well as lists of products adhering to those standards. Other senators, including Sen. Marsha Blackburn, have endorsed the investigation.
