Sam Altman has often championed the transformative power of ChatGPT and OpenAI’s large language models. But in a recent podcast appearance, he took a different angle—one that should give users serious pause about how and where they’re using AI chatbots. Speaking with comedian Theo Von, Altman highlighted a major privacy concern: OpenAI retains all your inputs, and under current law, that means anything you say to ChatGPT could be legally requested and handed over. Altman didn’t mince words about how deeply people confide in ChatGPT. “People talk about the most personal shit in their lives,” he said, noting that many…

For the third time this year, a game on Steam has been caught delivering malicious software to unsuspecting users, and this time it may not be the work of scammers, but the result of a compromised developer. Security firm Prodaft, via BleepingComputer, reports that the game Chemia—a post-apocalyptic crafting sim listed in Early Access—was injected with malware on July 22nd.

This consistency stands…

Microsoft has quietly introduced a major visual shift in how you interact with Copilot—its increasingly ubiquitous AI assistant—by giving it a new animated face that reacts in real time. Reminiscent of a minimalist teardrop with personality, this new visual avatar responds with subtle expressions as you chat, making interactions feel a bit more human. The Verge first reported the discovery, which Microsoft is currently testing with a limited number of users. The feature is still experimental and not enabled by default. If you’re part of the test group, you can activate the animation by launching Copilot, clicking the microphone icon…
