Hand-picked News
OpenAI’s new Pulse feature doesn’t wait for your questions—it writes your day before you wake up.
Pulse auto-generates 5–10 personalized reports overnight, from travel plans to inbox summaries
It taps into your calendar, Gmail, and past chats to deliver context-rich, AI-curated briefs
Designed to stop after a few cards—no doomscrolling, just smart updates
Starting today, Pulse rolls out to ChatGPT Pro users ($200/month) as a new tab inside the app. It’s part of OpenAI’s push to make ChatGPT more agentic and proactive, not just reactive.
✅ This is a big leap toward AI as a true assistant—not just a chatbot. It’s the kind of support only execs used to get.
Quick tip: If you’ve got memory and connectors enabled, Pulse can surface your most important emails and even suggest dinner spots that match your diet.
When Big Tech says “we don’t do mass surveillance”—but their servers are caught powering it—that’s a problem.
Microsoft suspended cloud + AI services used by an Israeli defense unit after finding proof of large-scale surveillance of Palestinians
Investigators say millions of calls were intercepted daily, fueling intelligence for strikes and detentions
Protests under the banner No Azure for Apartheid had been piling pressure on Microsoft for months
Context: The program allegedly began after a 2021 meeting between Unit 8200’s commander and Satya Nadella, leading to a segregated Azure system built just for “sensitive workloads.”
⚠️ Why it matters: Tech companies can’t keep playing both sides—cashing defense checks while claiming to uphold human rights. This is a line-in-the-sand moment for how far Big Tech will go to police its own tools.
Just days after Elon Musk and President Trump publicly reunited, xAI’s Grok chatbot landed a federal deal that’s raising eyebrows.
Grok 4 and Grok 4 Fast will be available to U.S. agencies for just 42 cents until March 2027
The deal follows Grok’s recent scandals, including antisemitic and pro-Hitler responses on X
GSA’s AI safety team tested Grok and gave it the green light under strict guidelines
xAI’s contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) puts Grok in the same league as OpenAI and Anthropic, who’ve also secured government deals. Musk’s chatbot, once slammed for toxic outputs, is now being positioned as a cost-efficient tool for federal workflows.
⚠️ This is a bold bet on redemption—proof that in AI, price and power can outweigh past behavior. But it also raises serious questions about safety, oversight, and who gets to shape public tech.
Quick insight: Grok’s ultra-low pricing (42 cents) isn’t random—it’s a Musk signature, nodding to his favorite number from sci-fi and meme culture.
