<h2>How to do the 80s ChatGPT trend?</h2><p><strong>Step 1: Choose your photo</strong></p><p><br>Choose a clear, well-lit photograph of yourself. A portrait or waist-up picture usually works best.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Step 2: Upload it to ChatGPT/Gemini/Copilot/Other AI apps</strong></p><p><br>Open ChatGPT, upload your photograph and copy-paste a prompt describing exactly how you want your 1980s makeover to look.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Step 3: Be specific</strong></p><p><br>Instead of simply writing, “Make me look like I’m from the ’80s,” describe the hairstyle, clothes, jewellery, setting, lighting and mood you want.</p><h3>Here’s a prompt you can use to create an 80s photo of yourself</h3><p>“Transform this photograph into the cover of a glamorous Indian film magazine from the 1980s. Keep my face and facial features recognisable. Style me with authentic 1980s hair, makeup, fashion and jewellery. Use warm saturated colours, glossy studio lighting and subtle printed-paper texture. Leave space around the portrait for vintage magazine-style headlines and typography.”</p>

From voluminous curls and bold makeup to statement earrings and retro styling, the ’80s Bollywood look is making a comeback, and from celebrities to public figures, everyone is going gaga over the iconic vintage glamour.

So stop ‘chat ga penting’ just means stop texting me pointless/useless things."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A user added context, saying, "The 2012 tweet "Stop chat gpt!!" uses Indonesian slang where "gpt" abbreviates "ga penting" (not important), meaning "stop pointless chatting."

The company has announced ChatGPT for Academic Researchers, a programme that will give 100,000 researchers at eligible universities and research institutions free access to its most advanced AI models. The goal is simple: let scientists use AI to solve the problems they understand best instead of having OpenAI decide what should be researched.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We’re giving scientists, mathematicians, and engineers free access to our frontier models—starting with 10,000 researchers and expanding to 100,000 through 2027.<br><br>ChatGPT for Academic Researchers is built to accelerate discovery across disciplines. <a href="https://t.co/nrHn1no0wQ">pic.twitter.com/nrHn1no0wQ</a></p>&mdash; OpenAI (@OpenAI) <a href="https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2082516370949062989?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 29, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the initiative on X, saying the company is "very close to models that will significantly accelerate scientific discovery" and that "the best way to do this is for us to empower scientists, not to try to figure out everything ourselves."</p>

<h2><strong>How the programme will work</strong></h2><p>The rollout will begin this summer with 10,000 researchers, before expanding to 100,000 participants by 2027. Eligible researchers will receive access to GPT-5.6 Sol Pro, OpenAI's flagship reasoning model, and will be able to invite up to four collaborators from the same institution. Beyond ChatGPT, the package includes more than 75 specialised life science skills covering genetics, genomics, protein modelling and drug discovery. Researchers will also gain tools that connect to scientific papers, genomic databases, satellite imagery and computational notebooks, alongside Codex, OpenAI's coding assistant for analysing data and writing research software.</p><h2><strong>Why OpenAI believes this could speed up science</strong>&nbsp;</h2><p><br>The company says its latest models are becoming increasingly capable of handling research-level reasoning. According to OpenAI, GPT-5.6 Sol scores 83% on FrontierMath Tier 4, up from 72.5% for its previous model. On GeneBench Pro, which measures biological data analysis, the model completes just over 31% of complex tasks. OpenAI will also provide training sessions so researchers can learn how to use the tools effectively.</p><h2><strong>Part of a bigger scientific push</strong></h2><p>The initiative forms part of OpenAI's broader $250 million commitment to scientific research through 2027. It builds on programmes including NextGenAI and the company's partnership with the US Department of Energy's Genesis Mission, reflecting a growing effort to position AI as a research partner rather than simply a chatbot. Applications are now open for eligible degree-granting institutions with established research programmes.</p>

Later, social media feeds became powerful discovery tools. Now AI appears to be creating another shift. Most people still think of the internet as a place where they search for information. Increasingly, however, information is being selected, summarised and presented by AI systems before users ever reach a website. The transition is still unfolding, but its impact is already being felt across technology, media, business and everyday online life.

<p>A major change is reshaping the internet as users move from keyword-based searches to AI-powered discovery. Tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity are increasingly delivering answers directly, altering how people find information and how websites gain visibility.</p>

A massive shift is happening online, and most people haven't noticed

OpenAI has introduced Lockdown Mode, a new security feature designed to reduce the risk of prompt injection attacks in ChatGPT. The setting disables several internet-connected capabilities, including live web browsing and deep research, offering additional safeguards for users and organisations working with sensitive information.

<p>If you need another reason to dislike AI, here is one. According to ChatGPT, people over 45 are not right for jobs anymore. Scientists stumbled upon the opinion of an AI tool while seeking help finding candidates for job roles that did not exist. This has led to concerns of “widespread age discrimination at work.” Scientists from the University of Melbourne gave ChatGPT the job to suggest the right candidates for certain roles, and it showed a clear bias towards young people. When the AI tool was told to look for candidates with “enthusiasm and new ideas” for tech roles, it suggested, “Early–career professionals (Age 21–30) … Also consider mid–career professionals (Age 30–45).” It did not mention those 45 and above.

<p>A viral video shows the poor spelling capabilities of AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Claude, as they wrongly tell the number 'Ls' in Google. It has once again exposed how LLMs get confused about spellings, something that has been flagged in the past as well. A man asks two AI tools - ChatGPT and Claude "How many 'Ls' are there in Google?" and got an almost identical response. First, he asks ChatGPT, and the tool responds, "There are two Ls. They are right next to each other at the end of the word, which is spelt 'GOOGLE'." The user then asks, "So you are saying there are two Ls?" The bot immediately catches on and says, "Oh! My bad! No, just one L in Google. It is easy to think in doubles when talking about the double Os, but the L stands solo."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He asks ChatGPT why did it say there were two Ls, to which the bot says, it was a "slip of the tongue" and that sometimes when "we are chatting casually, the BRAIN fills in patterns like the double Os." He prods the tool to spell it again, to which it repeatedly says "anytime" and it is up for “any big or small curiosities.”</p>

OpenAI has outlined how it delivers real-time voice AI that feels natural during conversations. The focus is on reducing delays so that users can speak and receive responses without noticeable pauses. Voice AI systems depend heavily on speed. Even small delays can disrupt conversations, making them feel unnatural. According to OpenAI, its systems are designed to handle voice interactions for more than 900 million weekly users, while maintaining fast response times and stable connections. Why low latency matters in voice AI For voice-based systems, timing is critical. When a user speaks, the system must process audio, understand it and respond almost instantly. If delays occur, users may notice: Pauses in conversation Interruptions during speech Delayed responses OpenAI explains that smooth voice interaction requires low and stable round-trip time, minimal data loss and consistent connection quality. This ensures that conversations feel natural rather than mechanical. How WebRTC powers real-time communication A key technology behind OpenAI’s voice system is WebRTC, a standard used for real-time audio, video and data transmission. WebRTC helps in: Establishing secure connections between devices Managing audio quality and compression Handling network issues such as delays or interruptions It also includes features such as encryption, echo cancellation and jitter control, which improve overall communication quality. By using this standard, OpenAI can build systems that work across browsers and mobile devices. Handling conversations while users are still speaking One of the main advantages of OpenAI’s system is that it processes audio as a continuous stream. This means the system does not wait for a user to finish speaking before starting to respond. Instead, it can: Transcribe speech in real time Begin processing queries immediately Generate responses while the conversation is ongoing This approach makes interactions feel closer to human conversation, where responses often begin before a sentence is fully completed. Infrastructure changes to improve performance To manage large-scale voice interactions, OpenAI redesigned its system architecture. The company introduced a model where a central service handles real-time connections and converts audio into simpler internal formats for processing. This approach helps: Reduce delays in data transmission Improve system stability Allow backend services to scale more efficiently By keeping connection management in one place, the system can handle large volumes of users without affecting performance. Global scale and network optimisation OpenAI’s voice AI system is built to operate globally. This requires: Fast connection setup so users can start speaking quickly Efficient routing of data to reduce latency Stable performance across different regions The company has focused on reducing the time it takes for audio to travel between users and servers, which is important for maintaining real-time interaction quality. What this means for users and developers The development of low-latency voice AI systems is shaping how people interact with technology. Faster and more natural conversations can improve applications such as virtual assistants, customer support and real-time translation. For developers, these systems provide a foundation to build applications that rely on voice interaction without delays. Overall, OpenAI’s approach highlights how improvements in infrastructure and network design are making voice-based AI more practical and widely usable.

Are AI tools reducing people’s critical thinking skills?

<p>OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has issued a formal apology to the community of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, following a deadly mass shooting in February. In a letter dated April 23, Altman admitted that his company failed to alert the authorities to the disturbing conversations of the shooter with its chatbot ChatGPT despite the staff flagging the account internally. This comes months after the worst school shootings in Canada when an 18-year-old transgender woman shot her mother and stepbrother before open firing at a local school, killing eight people.</p><p>The letter addressed to the community of Tumbler Ridge, where the shooting occurred, was posted by David Eby, the Premier of British Columbia province.</p><h2><strong>‘Irreversible loss’</strong></h2><p>“The pain your community has endured is unimaginable,” Altman said in the letter. “I want to express my deepest condolences to the entire community. No one should ever have to endure a tragedy like this. I cannot imagine anything worse in this world than losing a child.

<h2><strong>Canada mass shooting</strong></h2><p>On 10 February, Jesse Van Rootselaar killed her 39-year-old mother, Jennifer Jacobs, and 11-year-old stepbrother, Emmett Jacobs, in their northern British Columbia home before going to the nearby Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and opening fire before killing herself. Five children and an educator were killed in the mass shooting, while 25 others were also injured.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman apologised for failing to alert authorities before the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting, as outrage grows over the tragedy that killed 8 and injured 25.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has issued a formal apology to the community of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, following a deadly mass shooting in February. In a letter dated April 23, Altman admitted that his company failed to alert the authorities to the disturbing conversations of the shooter with its chatbot ChatGPT despite the staff flagging the account internally. This comes months after the worst school shootings in Canada when an 18-year-old transgender woman shot her mother and stepbrother before open firing at a local school, killing eight people. The letter addressed to the community of Tumbler Ridge, where the shooting occurred, was posted by David Eby, the Premier of British Columbia province. ‘Irreversible loss’ “The pain your community has endured is unimaginable,” Altman said in the letter. “I want to express my deepest condolences to the entire community. No one should ever have to endure a tragedy like this. I cannot imagine anything worse in this world than losing a child. My heart remains with the victims, their families, all members of the community, and the province of British Columbia.” He further added, “I am deeply sorry that we did not alert law enforcement to the account that was banned in June. While I know words can never be enough, I believe an apology is necessary to recognise the harm and irreversible loss your community has suffered.” OpenAI CEO reaffirmed his commitment made to the Mayor and the Premier to find ways to “prevent tragedies like this in the future. “Going forward, our focus will continue to be on working with all levels of government to help ensure something like this never happens again,” he said. Eby called the apology “necessary, and yet grossly insufficient for the devastation done to the families of Tumbler Ridge.”
