I know Oliver is working on a video but I've also played a bit and, man, this is insanely impressive. It's doing more than expected - cutbacks are there but, honestly, it's legit with a nice suite of RT features intact. Amazing work from Ubi here (it's also a solid game)

When I wrote in January about the woman who fell in love with ChatGPT & created r/MyBoyfriendIsAI (www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/t...), the subreddit had 200 members.

Now it has 20,000 and Altman uses it as shorthand for a subset of users. Perception (& use?) of ChatGPT has shifted a lot this year.

To recap: Meta is pushing "AI companions", because Zuck see a "market" for artificial friends. They have a large workforce "training" these chatbots, presumably doing content-moderation style work, according to guidelines.

Très triste d'apprendre la disparition de Gilles Dowek, je garde un excellent souvenir des échanges avec lui dans le cadre des travaux CNIL-Inria du linc et ensuite lorsque j'étais membre du Comité d'éthique Inria... Une pensée pour tous ses proches et amis, à Inria et ailleurs

Current Model picking is a failed ux .
Even if GPT-5 did nothing besides switching people between o3 and 4o automatically, it would really transform most people’s view of AI.

Very few people, even paying users, know that they should often switch to a more capable model for real work, and when you show them o3, they are impressed.
