ChatGPT Gets Its Own Wallet
|
|
|
|
Asking ChatGPT to find you a good rain jacket is easy. It comes back with a few solid options in your size in seconds.
|
|
You still have to go buy it yourself. You have to open the store, make an account, and type your card number in all over again.
|
|
OpenAI’s ChatGPT Wallet lets your agent check out for you, and it never sees your card.
|
|
You only need to save your card once. Then next time you ask your agent to grab that jacket or book a hotel for the weekend, it does the shopping and stops right before it pays.
|
|
You’ll see the store, what’s in the cart, the total, and which card it’s about to use. Nothing goes through until you say yes with Face ID or your fingerprint.
|
|
After that, your card network (Visa, Mastercard, or Amex) swaps in a stand-in card number for that one purchase. The charge shows up on your real card, but the store and the agent never see your actual number.
|
|
You keep your card’s points and perks as well. If the jacket shows up with a broken zipper, you’re covered the same way you’d be with any other purchase.
|
|
Later on, OpenAI plans to let you set a spending limit and pick what kinds of things your agent can buy without asking you first.
|
|
Right now it’s rolling out to ChatGPT Pro subscribers in America. It works inside dots, ChatGPT’s personal agents.
|
|
If you’re not on Pro, you can still hand off most of the work today. Tell ChatGPT what you’re after and how much you want to spend, and have it line up a few options.
|
|
All that’s left for you is the checkout.
|
|
Our take: Checkout is where online shopping gets tedious. Another account, another form, and your card number typed into one more site. If agents can handle that part safely, the stores that let them in are the ones you’ll end up buying from.

Your Best Prompt, One Shortcut Away
|
|
|
|
It can take a lot of tries to get a prompt that does exactly what you want.
|
|
Once it finally works, it’s the kind of prompt you want ready to go every time.
|
|
The problem is you usually forget to save it somewhere.
|
|
And the next time you need it, you end up rewriting it from memory, and it never comes out quite as good as the one that worked.
|
|
Flow puts your best prompts on their own shortcuts, so each one runs with a quick keypress.
|
|
Save the prompt once on your computer. Then highlight the text you want to work on, press the shortcut, and the result shows up right where it was.
|
|
You can keep one for each prompt you lean on most, and you can even set one to run on its own every time you dictate.
|
|
That way, the version you reach for out of habit is the one that works.

History

Claude Reads a Genius’s Hidden Notebooks
|
|
|
|
Back in the 1940s, Albert Einstein had a walking buddy at Princeton. The two of them walked to work together most days. Einstein once said he went to the office mainly for the chance to walk home with him.
|
|
That friend was Kurt Gödel, one of the most important mathematicians of the last century.
|
|
He was known for a handful of papers. What he left behind in his notebooks turned out to be a much bigger story.
|
|
Gödel filled 16 notebooks in the early ’40s, 1,009 pages in all. Most of it was written in Gabelsberger, an old German shorthand almost nobody reads anymore.
|
|
Jan von Plato, a Finnish expert on Gödel, started working through them in 2017. He got through a page a week.
|
|
At that pace, reading all of it would have taken close to 20 years.
|
|
Fast forward to September, he decided to try something new. He gave Claude his typed-up versions of the pages, six books he’d written about Gödel, and a stack of other research.
|
|
Within days, Claude came back with a 650-page breakdown. It listed 663 math results Gödel had proved or at least sketched out.
|
|
One of them stood out. Gödel was one step away from solving a problem that later won another mathematician the Fields Medal, math’s version of the Nobel Prize.
|
|
As von Plato put it, “It can see all of Gödel’s writings as one piece.”
|
|
Claude didn’t decode the shorthand itself. It worked from the pages von Plato had already spent years typing up.
|
|
Gödel’s physics and space notebooks come next. No one has studied those yet.
|
|
Our take: Libraries hold millions of pages like these that no one has had the time to read. If AI can take a pile like Gödel’s from decades of work down to days, more of history’s unfinished ideas could end up finished.

A Stress Toy That Answers Your Touch
|
|
|
|
When your head won’t slow down, having something to fidget with helps. Maybe it’s a pen to click or a stress ball to squeeze.
|
|
Those never notice you though. You squeeze, and that’s it.
|
|
A team at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University made one that pays attention.
|
|
Their version, TruTru, is soft and small enough to hold in one hand. And when you hold or squeeze it, AI picks up on how you’re touching it and answers right away with something you can feel in your palm.
|
|
It also lights up in soft colors. Your eyes get something calm to look at while your hands stay busy.
|
|
The team made it for those moments when stress or anxiety starts creeping in, as something to reach for during a few quiet minutes.

AI’s Favorite Words Slip Past Bans
|
|
|
|
“Delve” used to be a pretty rare word. Then ChatGPT came along and fell in love with it.
|
|
Words like that have turned into a tell.
|
|
When people spot one, a lot of them assume AI wrote the thing.
|
|
Stack Exchange is a big network of question-and-answer sites, Stack Overflow included. Many of their sites banned answers written by ChatGPT.
|
|
A new study checked whether those bans kept AI’s favorite words out.
|
|
Spoiler: They didn’t.
|
|
Those words still climbed 14% above where they were headed before ChatGPT. A list of ordinary words used for comparison rose 7%.
|
|
The biggest difference came down to editing. The study split the sites into thirds by how often people went back and edited their own answers.
|
|
On the sites where people edited the least, AI’s favorite words jumped 29%. On the sites where people edited the most, they didn’t move at all.
|
|
The study can’t tell whether people on those sites used less AI or whether rereading pulled the words back out. Either way, the words stuck around where answers went out as first drafts.
|
|
If AI helps you write emails or posts, the same thing applies to you. Its favorite words ride along into whatever you send unless you read it back first. To plenty of people, one “delve” is enough to start wondering who wrote it.
|
|
Our take: The tell was never AI. It was skipping the reread. A message that goes through your head once before it goes out sounds like you, whatever helped you write it.
