We've all seen awful news about ChatGPT-related suicides/psychosis — @rebeccabellan.bsky.social and I studied the chatlogs in these lawsuits + talked to a bunch of experts to figure out what makes ChatGPT so successful at isolating people from their communities: techcrunch.com/2025/11/23/c...

New York Times

Interviews with current and former OpenAI employees detail how updates that made ChatGPT more appealing to boost growth sent some users into delusional spirals

It sounds like science fiction: A company turns a dial on a product used by hundreds of millions of people and inadvertently destabilizes some of their minds.

literally the last thing chatgpt needs is to be “warmer” and “more conversational” (see: all of the lawsuits around the overly friendly/sycophantic gpt-4o's role in suicides/delusions) techcrunch.com/2025/11/07/s...  [embedded post]

OpenAI

OpenAI rolls out GPT-5.1 Instant, which is “warmer by default”, and GPT-5.1 Thinking, which is “easier to understand and faster”, starting with paid subscribers

We're upgrading GPT‑5 while making it easier to customize ChatGPT.  Starting to roll out today to everyone, beginning with paid users.

OpenAI's invite-only Sora app becomes the top free app in the US App Store three days after its launch, ahead of Gemini in second and ChatGPT in third

OpenAI now has two of the top three free apps in Apple's App Store, and its new video generation app Sora has snagged the coveted No. 1 spot.

Sora, which is fun and simple to use, shows that OpenAI remains good at creating viral products, unlike Meta, whose Vibes video feed feels half-baked and obtuse

as the largest jump in video capability basically ever — Sora 2 somehow matches up here. For people that played around a lot with Sora 1, it didn't feel clear that Sora really ‘und...

OpenAI's Sora 2 generates copyright infringing content, including numerous AI-generated clips featuring SpongeBob, Pokémon, Mario, Rick and Morty, and Star Wars

Within moments of opening OpenAI's new AI slop app Sora, I am watching Pikachu steal Poké Balls from a CVS.

TechCrunch

The public feed of the Meta AI app is filled with private and sensitive information, suggesting users might not be aware they are sharing their chats publicly

It sounds like the start of a 21st century horror film: Your browser history has been public all along, and you had no idea.
