OpenAI's Most Dangerous Model Yet?
Notas del episodio
OpenAI pledged to rethink data center deals, dropping NDAs, after the blue wave rattled AI. Motorola launched a $1,599 flagship, OpenAI released GPT-6 Cyber, and Apple’s touchscreen MacBook Pro reviews said the screen’s gorgeous, but you don’t have to touch it.
- OpenAI pledges to change how it handles data center deals, including avoiding NDAs and lowering power usage during peak times, after Democrats’ midterm wins (Bloomberg)
- AI’s biggest names watched Figaro at the San Francisco Opera on election night as results turned against the data center build-out; OpenAI leaders weighed resetting next year’s capacity expectations, CoreWeave fell nearly 10%, and Brad Gerstner says 25% to 35% of next year’s US build-out could be at risk (WSJ)
- Motorola launches the $1,599+ Signature 27, featuring a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, a 6.8-inch Tandem OLED display, and seven years of OS updates (9to5Google)
- Motorola’s Signature 27 is its first all-out slab flagship, matching the Galaxy S26 Ultra at $1,599 with 512GB and 12GB of RAM and adding GrapheneOS support, but it lacks built-in Qi2 magnets and $1,600 is a steep hill to climb (The Verge)
- OpenAI launches GPT-6 Cyber, which it says outperforms GPT-6 Astra on cyber benchmarks, is better at finding vulnerabilities, and is less likely to go rogue (The Verge)
- MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display review: gorgeous screen, touch is useful, strong performance and speakers, and a Dynamic Island, but pricey and no Face ID (Tom’s Hardware)
- The Verge gives the PROLED MacBook Pro a 9 out of 10: touch is nearly unusable as a touch-first experience, with no onscreen keyboard and no Apple Pencil support, so it’s a laptop that happens to have a touchscreen, but it’s the one to get if you’re coming from an M1-era Mac (The Verge)
- The PROLED display is the best you can buy, but touch adds little and there’s no Apple Pencil support; the $400-cheaper M5 Max MacBook Pro performs identically, and the OLED premium may become the only option with the M6 Max (PetaPixel)
