Sam Altman says GPT-6 “Astra” is already approaching human-level performance at using computers.

And with the recent reports that OpenAI bought tens of thousands of Mac minis / Mac Studios specifically for computer-use training, I’m actually starting to think this might not be pure hype.

Could be looking at a pretty massive productivity jump if this is real.

Computer use is already one of the areas where Codex feels way ahead of the competition, so I’m pretty excited to see where this goes.

Some really spicy claims in there. Seems like an agent may have found and used proprietary information.

OpenAI has told a San Jose federal judge that Apple's trade-secret suit against it is "a mess of Apple's own making, and it is trying to blame everyone else." The response, [filed Monday](https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/openai-says-apple-has-only-itself-blame-trade-secret-fight-2026-09-01/) in US District Court, points the blame back at Apple's own security practices rather than at any conduct by former engineers.

The core argument is about hygiene. OpenAI says Apple encourages employees to use personal iCloud accounts to access work documents, then immediately escorts departing staff off the premises without enough time to return devices, transfer internal files or hand over responsibilities. In that account, the mixing of personal and company data is Apple's own doing.

Apple sued OpenAI and former Apple employees Tang Tan and Chang Liu in July, accusing them of misappropriating trade secrets tied to hardware design, manufacturing and supply-chain operations as Sam Altman's company pushes into consumer devices. Both sides' filings put OpenAI's hiring from Apple at roughly 400 people for that hardware initiative. OpenAI contends the suit is really about slowing a competitor and discouraging further departures, and invokes California law allowing employees to move freely between rivals.

The volley follows [yesterday's coverage](https://aiweekly.co/alerts/apple-filing-says-ex-engineer-used-its-schematic-at-openai) of Apple's filing about a former engineer allegedly using its schematic at OpenAI, the second Apple-versus-OpenAI story on our tracker in two days. Apple's request for expedited discovery is scheduled for a hearing on October 1.

Using Codex for longer jobs and keep losing progress when the machine sleeps. where to host codex if you dont want a pc on 24/7. looking for boring uptime, not another weekend of headless auth tutorials

再次更新： 我終於恢復我的帳號了！！！ 非常謝謝各位朋友的協助與留言！！！ 真的非常謝謝你們！！！

更新：我剛剛用新帳戶聯繫客服對話請求真人回覆，但他們說明是Teen模式，給了第五次成人驗證，但我始終登入不進去，他們說是我的網路端的問題，我都已經用新手機跟無痕模式來驗證了，結果還是沒有人來解釋為什麼在Support 團隊已經確定是系統錯誤，卻還是收到保留原判決的自動通知信，也沒有說明我帳號的情況。 我真的不知道該怎麼辦，我甚至遇上疑似詐騙的帳號。

OpenAI的年齡驗證系統錯把我臺灣身分證上的發照日期當作我的出生日期，雖然我已經27歲。

1月21日：系統顯示我的身分證發照日期——2014年9月5日——作為我的出生日期。（圖片1）

1月24日：我的舊帳戶因為被指控未滿13歲而被刪除，我提出了申訴。（圖片2）

2月20日：信任與安全確認了我的申訴，參考編號為C-Y8ukPo2ImOTz。

4月28日沒有回應後，我創建了一個新帳戶，僅僅是為了聯繫客服解決無法訪問的舊帳戶。

在客服案例08247354中， OpenAI 確認在驗證過程中錯誤解讀了我的出生年份。（圖片3）

我經歷了兩次成年驗證，但沒有收到完成確認。

8月31日：在遵循案例08247354的另一個驗證指示後，我重新提交了申請。大約五分鐘後，我的舊電子郵件收到了未經解釋的維持刪除決定——沒有原因或參考編號。（圖片4）

我需要在經過真實人員審查這些證據後，恢復對我的舊帳戶的訪問。重複相同的自動表單無法解決這個錯誤。

是否有人通過其他合法的 OpenAI 聯絡或升遷方法，成功聯繫到真正的人，而不是標準的申訴表單和幫助中心的支持循環？

如果有 OpenAI 的員工看到這個，請使用申訴編號C-Y8ukPo2ImOTz或客服案例08247354來尋找我的紀錄，並聯繫已經和這些紀錄相關的電子郵件。

我不會通過Reddit私訊發送身份文件、證書、驗證碼或付款。

I've been looking at the cross-AI memory space and something doesn't add up. Mem0 claims 150,000+ developers. Supermemory claims 10,000+ power users. But when you look for real reviews, named testimonials, or community discussions about actual workflows, there's almost nothing.

Mem0 reads like infrastructure for developers who want to embed memory into their own apps. That's a platform play, not a personal context layer. Supermemory markets itself as "one memory across all your AI tools" but it leans more toward a personal bookmarking app than something that maps to a Cursor and Claude Code daily workflow.

I'm building in this category so I've spent a lot of time evaluating both. But I want to hear from someone who's actually used either for a few weeks of real work. Does context carry between ChatGPT and Cursor the way you'd expect? Does it handle coding sessions or is it more general purpose? What broke?

I am not sure if this has been documented by anyone else as of late, but in looking through my hidden ~/.codex under memories a saw an interesting folder called "skysight". I do have ComputerUse enabled, and from the files included there, if the GPT app is open it follows and records everything you do. It will, in detail, state your actions "User went to Safari and went to..." in 10 minute increments. It is supposed to provide additional context on "I need help on the doc I just had open..." requests. However, when I asked GPT about it (although id already read the instructions.md which stated how to talk to a user if asked about Skysight) the most troubling thing is that this information does not always stay local. It is sent to the OpenAi servers even if you toggle off use my chats for "making models better" turned off. GPT stated even with that toggle off it can't be sure. Now for the most part, I don't provide super personal information to GPT, I have used the "hey I have autism please provide better output" trick (or maybe I am an autist) and when I asked GPT to summarize the most private memories it has of me this was one of them. Just FYI, when you have the app open its logging everything you do.

​

ChatGPT has gotten really dumb over the past few days and keeps forgetting a lot of things.

To the point where even in the same conversation, if I ask it for a recipe without milk because I don’t have any, it gives me a recipe without milk. Then I send another message asking about something in the recipe, and after that I ask it to give me the steps for the recipe, and suddenly it gives me the recipe with milk, even though I already told it I don’t have milk.

It also doesn’t understand what I’m asking like it used to. I have to explain things several times, and sometimes it still doesn’t understand. There are other issues too.

How realistic is it that we could get a NEW gpt image model with the new Astra realse (which will be released probably somewhere in Sept-Oct)?

I got this “Suspicious activity detected” warning last night and it’s still there.

I already changed my password, but nothing has changed yet. I’ve seen people saying that you sometimes just have to wait 24 hours, but I have no idea if that’s actually true.

Has anyone had this recently? Did it go away by itself, and how long did it take?

The European Commission has designated ChatGPT a Very Large Online Search Engine under the Digital Services Act, making OpenAI's chatbot the first standalone AI service brought under the bloc's toughest platform rules. Reddit and Roblox were added the same day as Very Large Online Platforms, [Euronews reported](https://www.euronews.com/next/2026/08/31/eu-places-chatgpt-reddit-and-roblox-under-strictest-digital-safety-rules).

All three crossed the 45 million monthly EU user threshold that triggers direct Commission oversight. ChatGPT reported 159 million monthly active users over the six-month period ending March 2026; Reddit reported 57.2 million; Roblox roughly 48 million.

The Commission classified ChatGPT as a "hybrid service" that qualifies as an online search engine "because it can engage with and respond to users' prompts and queries, including by searching the web." The three companies have four months, until the end of November, to conduct annual systemic risk assessments covering illegal content, minor protection, mental and physical wellbeing, fundamental rights, electoral processes and public security, submit to independent audits, and share data with regulators and vetted researchers.

"These new designations mean that ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox will now be subject to a higher level of scrutiny and accountability in the European Union, commensurate with their significant impact on our citizens and society," said Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy.

Non-compliance can cost up to 6% of global annual turnover. The DSA has produced roughly €870 million in fines to date, including €550 million against AliExpress, €200 million against Temu and €120 million against X.

There's a hands-on masterclass on Sep 12 for anyone building with the OpenAI API who wants real engineering discipline instead of shipping on vibes.

Covers:

• Versioned prompts with regression tests, so an edit can't silently degrade quality
• A real eval harness combining deterministic checks and LLM-as-judge
• Bootstrap confidence intervals and paired significance testing for model comparisons
• Evaluated RAG with retrieval metrics (recall@k, MRR)
• Agents with guardrails and fallbacks that fail gracefully instead of compounding errors
• Full production observability, tracing, cost/latency monitoring, and a CI regression suite

Led by Bruno Gonçalves, PhD, founder of Data For Science, who trains engineers at Fortune 500 companies on this exact stack.

Are they done choosing US applicants? I made it to the final round and they said anytime in the next weeks. It's been a week since then

My saved Mastercard was declined more than five times.

My bank confirms that it received no authorization request from OpenAI. The card works normally with Google, Kling, Spotify, and other local and international merchants, but not with OpenAI.

The error handling on the payment page is poor: it provides no useful information about why the card was declined. I contacted support to ask why this keeps happening, but I haven't received an answer yet.

The AI chat support has also been unable to understand the problem. It keeps suggesting that I:

• turn off my VPN (I don't use one),
• use another card (I don't have another one for using online), or
• enter the card details carefully.

None of these suggestions are relevant. My card is already saved, and the payment form auto-fills the necessary information correctly. I use the same card successfully with both local and international merchants.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this, especially if my bank isn't even receiving an authorization request from OpenAI?

I use ChatGPT to analyzed some information in csv files.
It was working great until today.

Now it says that attachments upload successfully and appear in the conversation, but the corresponding sandbox files are missing when reading them.
I tried with files that worked before, but still get the same issue.

Is anyone else facing this problem?
