OpenAI teases a string of updates for its AI-powered browser, ChatGPT Atlas

Less than two days ago, OpenAI came out swinging in the fight for the future of the internet with the release of ChatGPT Atlas, an AI-powered web browser it hopes will topple Google Chrome. Adam Fry, OpenAI’s Atlas leader, says the team is already “heads down making it better” and teased a bunch of new features on the way. 

“Profiles coming!” Fry said. Tab groups and an opt-in ad blocker are also on their way in the near future. The features, common to many popular internet browsers, were included on a list of “post-launch fixes” for Atlas that Fry posted on X. Most of these should land “over the coming weeks,” he said, “though some may take a little longer.” 

The list includes a series of quality of life upgrades like an overflow bookmarks menu and a list of shortcuts. 

Changes are also on the way to the browser’s key AI features. This includes the agent — which is only available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users for now and can take actions for you — and the Ask ChatGPT sidebar, which integrates the company’s flagship chatbot. The agent will be getting better response times, a more reliable “pause” function, and improved integration with products like Google Drive and cloud Excel, Fry said. The sidebar will be easier to use without leaving and let users pick different projects or AI models directly without having to navigate away. 

“If you have more suggestions for us, let us know!” Fry said. His responses to suggestions indicate OpenAI already has a solid prototype that would let users directly copy and insert text from the Ask ChatGPT sidebar. He also said it would be a good idea if the browser automatically reopened pinned tabs when closing and restarting. 

Fry said the team is also working on some “specific,” though unspecified, fixes for password manager 1Password. “There are other things we’re working on, but those may involve partners, and we’ve left those off this list.”

Pandora Stories lets artists add commentary to their own playlists

Pandora launched Stories today, a tool that lets artists and creators add voice commentary to their own playlists.

The feature is part of Pandora AMP, the streaming service’s free Artist Marketing Platform that helps creators promote their work. To kick off the launch, Pandora’s prepared some Stories by artists like John Legend and Daddy Yankee, who tell listeners their personal stories interspersed between their own songs. There’s also a Stories playlist called Love Songs That Aren’t Really Love Songs , which includes commentary on individual songs like a podcast...

Instagram’s updated algorithm prioritizes original content instead of rip-offs

Image: Kristen Radtke / The Verge Instagram is making significant changes to how its system recommends content, with a focus on original content and increased distribution for smaller accounts. The slew of changes were announced by the company in a blog post today. The biggest change deals with aggregators — accounts that download or screenshot other users’ videos and photos and repost them. Sometimes aggregators will credit the original poster by tagging them in the post or caption, but often, content is wholesale ripped off with no acknowledgment, and engagement is siphoned off from the person who created the content in the first place. Instagram clearly has a problem with this and will begin removing reposted content from recommendations across the platform. The...

We asked camera companies why their RAW formats are all different and confusing

When you set up a new camera, or even go to take a picture on some smartphones, you’re presented with a key choice: JPG or RAW? JPGs are ready to post just about anywhere, while RAWs yield an unfinished file filled with extra data that allows for much richer post-processing. That option for a RAW file (and even the generic name, RAW) has been standardized across the camera industry — but despite that, the camera world has never actually settled on one standardized RAW format. Most cameras capture RAW files in proprietary formats, like Canon’s CR3, Nikon’s NEF, and Sony’s ARW. The result is a world of compatibility issues. Photo editing software needs to specifically support not just each manufacturer’s file type but also make changes for each new camera that shoots it. That creates pain for app developers and early camera adopters who want to know that their preferred software will just work. Adobe tried to solve this problem years ago with a universal RAW form...
