The browser wars are heating up again, this time with AI in the driver’s seat.  OpenAI just launched Atlas, a ChatGPT-powered browser that lets users surf the web using natural language, and even includes an “agent mode” that can complete tasks autonomously. It’s one of the biggest browser launches in recent memory, but it’s debuting with an unsolved security flaw that could expose passwords, emails, and sensitive data.  Watch as Max Zeff, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane break down Atlas’ debut, the broader wave of alternative browsers, the AWS crash that broke much of the internet, and more of the…

John Nitti has left his position as X’s advertising chief after just ten months, reports the Financial Times. Nitti, who joined as global head of revenue operations and advertising innovation, was considered a potential successor to former CEO Linda Yaccarino, who resigned in July. His exit adds to a string of high-level departures from Elon Musk’s increasingly turbulent executive suite. Among others, X’s CFO Mahmoud Reza Banki left in October after less than a year, while xAI’s CFO and general counsel both departed over the summer. The revolving door reportedly reflects deeper tensions. Sources tell the FT that execs have…

Every few weekends, 21-year-old student Lavanya Jain opens the BlaBlaCar app to find a lift from Noida on the outskirts of New Delhi to his home in Kandhla, a small town in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh state.

That’s a fraction of the ₹1,500–₹2,000, or $17–$23, he would pay for a private cab. “If you’re looking for a fast, efficient, affordable, and comfortable way to travel — and you like to chat — you should basically check out BlaBlaCar,” Jain told TechCrunch, adding that he has used the app…

OpenAI is working on a new tool that would generate music based on text and audio prompts, according to a report in The Information. Such a tool could be used to add music to existing videos, or to add guitar accompaniment to an existing vocal track, sources said. It’s not clear when OpenAI plans to launch such a tool or whether it would be available as a standalone product (as opposed to integrating with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and video app Sora). One source told The Information that OpenAI is working with some students from the Juilliard School to annotate scores as…
