What is the company announcing one day ahead of Google’s presumably AI-heavy I/O 2024 event tomorrow? According to Sam Altman, what OpenAI has in store is not the rumored search engine or GPT-5 updates, but we’ll find out what it really is at 1PM ET / 10AM PT.
With less than a month to go before Apple details its AI plans at WWDC 2024, the company is “finalizing terms” to let ChatGPT use iOS 18 features, according to Bloomberg.
Moderators of the r/ChatGPT subreddit say OpenAI sent them a message telling them to remove the company’s logos from its user profiles. 404 Media reports the subreddit’s mods have stopped using the logo.
OpenAI is currently the defendant in several lawsuits, alleging it violated the copyright of publications and authors.
COO Brad Lightcap is speaking at Bloomberg’s Tech conference and was just asked when the next model is arriving. His answer hints that ChatGPT will evolve to act like an agent on your behalf or, at the very least, take on more of a persona.
“Will there be such a thing as a prompt engineer in 2026?” he says. “You don’t prompt engineer your friend.”
It’s expensive to sue OpenAI and Microsoft, and The New York Times knows it. In its first quarter 2024 financial results, the newspaper says costs for its copyright infringement lawsuit against the AI giants do not impact its operational performance.
According to Adweek, OpenAI’s incentives for publishers include financial compensation as well as:
...priority placement and “richer brand expression” in chat conversations, and their content benefits from more prominent link treatments.
In exchange, OpenAI gets training data and a license to display info with attribution and links. OpenAI has struck deals with publishers like Axel Springer, The Financial Times, and most recently, People magazine publisher Dotdash Meredith. A comment from OpenAI said Adweek’s report “contains a number of mischaracterizations and outdated information.”
