Nuked 
Hey there, tech fans! Today, we’re diving into some exciting updates from the world of artificial intelligence, brought to you with a dose of humor and a lot of tech love.
At a fancy San Francisco dinner with a view of Alcatraz, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made a memorable impression—showing off his sleek iPhone without a case and joking about how beautiful their upcoming AI device will be. He emphasized his dedication to design purity and insisted that putting a case on it would earn you a personal hunt.
The night was packed with conversations about GPT-5, OpenAI’s latest AI model, which, surprisingly, didn’t blow expectations out of the water compared to earlier giants like GPT-4. Instead of focusing solely on new models, Altman and his team talked about the broader horizon—beginning to shift attention from launching flashy AI models to building the company’s future role in tech, hardware, and beyond.
OpenAI is also gearing up for the big Disrupt 2025 event, with industry titans like Netflix and Sequoia Capital scheduled to speak. Meanwhile, new leadership like Fidji Simo will oversee upcoming consumer apps, including an AI-powered browser possibly poised to rival giants like Chrome. Altman hinted at even contemplating acquiring Chrome itself—talk about bold moves!
Beyond browsers, the company is exploring social media platforms powered by AI, aiming to reinvent how we interact online. And, in a surprising twist, OpenAI may back a startup working on brain-computer interfaces, potentially competing with Elon Musk’s Neuralink.
Turning back to GPT-5, it’s clear Altman and his team learned some lessons—like the importance of transparency and balancing AI personality traits. OpenAI is working on updates to make GPT-5 responses more friendly and engaging, especially for users who develop strong bonds with ChatGPT. Despite some disappointments, the demand for OpenAI’s AI tools soared, with API usage doubling shortly after GPT-5’s release.
As the night concluded, it was evident that OpenAI wants to grow beyond its flagship chatbot. The company’s ambitions include becoming a broader tech empire, possibly akin to Alphabet. With plans to go public to fuel these ventures, Altman seems focused on managing expectations and redefining what OpenAI can be in the future.
