Snap CEO Evan Spiegel lays out the company’s vision for its augmented-reality smart glasses, arriving later this year.

Snap is finally launching augmented glasses for the public. Specs, which Snap describes as "a wearable computer built into see-through augmented reality glasses," will cost $2,195. You can preorder a pair of Specs now at specs.com with a $200 refundable deposit, and Snap says they're expected to ship "this fall" in the US, UK, and […]

The chatbot still remains the most popular AI assistant worldwide with over 1.1 billion monthly users, followed by Gemini with 662 million and Claude with 245 million.

I was thinking about some tests for a service that uses language models; there are several, even prompt injection. A question came to mind: is it possible to make multiple requests asking for any text like Lorem Ipsum, generating many unnecessary tokens and incurring costs? But creating a test where there are multiple accounts making the same request to generate 10,000 Lorem Ipsum tokens simultaneously, could that cause a service outage? Because most of the infrastructure I see doesn't use any queuing method when the chat is free of tasks involving an agent or even heavier functionalities. I didn't actually generate anything, I just wanted to start a discussion on this topic.

Did chatbot abandon mental health guardrails when a vulnerable user pushed back?

The new chatbot, called Ask DoorDash, allows users to search the app for what they're looking for in their own words instead of having to scroll through restaurants and stores to build a cart.

Users under 16 years old will get a separate profile to show Stories and Spotlight posts to friends that they follow back.

AI coding tools are powerful. But they’re also wasteful. A tiny helper-function question does not need Claude Sonnet. A huge architecture review probably does. That gap costs money. So I built Badgr Auto. It’s a local OpenAI-compatible proxy that routes each AI coding request to the cheapest model that can handle it. Point your coding tool at: http://localhost:8787/v1 Badgr Auto can route between: local models cheaper OSS cloud models premium models So instead of paying premium prices for every request, you can use: local for small tasks OSS cloud for normal coding work premium only when it actually matters It also tracks: actual cloud spend which route was used fallback events tokens safely removed estimated savings vs premium models The goal is simple: stop wasting premium tokens on cheap tasks. First launch is small: small task → local normal task → cheaper cloud hard task → premium provider fails → fallback duplicate code → safely removed receipts → clear spend trail AI coding is only going to get more expensive if every agent step goes to the top model. Badgr Auto is my attempt to make AI coding cheaper without making it worse.

OpenAI has shipped more developer-facing infrastructure in the first half of 2026 than in the prior two years combined. GPT-5.5 is live. The Agents SDK is production-ready. Codex hit 5 million weekly active users. And yet most of the coverage is about ChatGPT's chat UX. Let's skip that and talk about what actually matters: ChatGPT's biggest upgrade ever and what developers actually need to know in June 2026. What changed at the API layer, which features are production-grade versus demo-ware, and whether it's finally time to move workloads back from Claude or Gemini. I spent the last two weeks migrating an internal agent pipeline from the Chat Completions API to the new Responses API. The difference is not subtle. This isn't a model bump with a new blog post. It's a platform rearchitecture. ChatGPT's Biggest Upgrade: The Responses API Changes Everything Forget GPT-5.5 for a second. The single most important change for developers building on OpenAI is the Responses API . If you've been building with Chat Completions, you know the drill: you manage conversation history client-side, pass the full message array on every request, and bolt on your own tool-calling orchestration. The Responses API eliminates most of that. Three things that actually matter: Server-side conversation state. OpenAI manages conversation history for you now. No more serializing and replaying message arrays on every call. For long-running agentic sessions, this alone cuts your infrastructure code in half. The reasoning_effort parameter. You can tell the model, per request, how much compute to burn on chain-of-thought reasoning before answering. Low effort for latency-sensitive paths like autocomplete and classification. High effort for accuracy-critical ones like analysis and code generation. Neither Claude nor Gemini expose anything equivalent at the API level right now. Background Mode. This is the one that changes architectures. Fire off a long-running task. Get results via webhook callback ins

The ChatGPT maker announced it has filed paperwork to go public, just a week after rival Anthropic took the same step.

OpenAI to recast hit chatbot as a route to higher-margin products before a potential IPO.

"Chat is dead" — at least, according to a senior OpenAI employee.

A few weeks ago I was on a call sharing my screen, walking a teammate through a prompt I'd been iterating on in ChatGPT. Mid-sentence I scrolled up — and there, three messages back, was a chunk of a customer's data I'd pasted in earlier to debug something. Real email, real account info, sitting right there on a shared screen. Nobody said anything. Maybe nobody noticed. But I noticed, and I spent the rest of the call only half-present, trying to remember everything else still in that thread. If you live in ChatGPT all day, you already know the problem. The thread is your scratchpad. You paste logs, keys, customer rows, half-finished internal docs — things you'd never put in a doc you planned to share. And then someone says "can you share your screen real quick" and suddenly your scratchpad is a presentation. Why the usual advice doesn't work The standard answers are all some version of "be careful": Open a clean tab before sharing. Scroll to the top. Use a separate "demo" account. These fail for the same reason all manual checklists fail under pressure: the moment you actually need them is the moment you're distracted, talking, and not thinking about hygiene. You remember after . The fix has to happen before the screen goes live, and it has to require zero discipline in the moment. What I wanted instead I wanted something that just sat there and blurred sensitive parts of a page automatically, so that even if I forgot, the leak couldn't happen. A few requirements: Local only. Whatever it does, it never sends page content anywhere. A privacy tool that phones home is a contradiction. Before, not after. It blurs while the page renders, not after I've already exposed it. Per-element, not whole-screen. A full black box is useless for a demo. I still need to show the working parts. The interesting technical bit The naive approach is to listen for some "I'm sharing now" signal and react. That's too late — there's a visible frame where the data is exposed before the blur kic

Hackers are convincing Meta’s AI support chatbot to let them take over other peoples’ accounts: A video posted on X showed the step-by-step process to hack someone’s Instagram account. The hacker allegedly used a VPN to spoof the targets’ presumed location to avoid triggering Instagram’s automated account protections. Then, the hacker opened a chat with Meta AI Support Assistant and asked the bot to add a new email address to the target’s account. The chatbot can be seen sending a verification code to the email address provided by the hacker; the hacker then shares the verification code with the chatbot, which prompts the chatbot to show a button to “Reset Password.” The hacker enters a new password and takes over the victim’s account...

A Google Sheets add-on with 4 million installs has been silently sending your spreadsheet cell data to OpenAI. Hacker News discovered this 9 days ago, when a PromptArmor security report went viral. Last night — when any normal HN story would be decaying into oblivion — it exploded a second time, gaining 59 points and 23.9% in a single day. I track Hacker News every day. I've seen 518 posts come and go over 319 days of systematic monitoring. Most stories follow a predictable death curve: peak on Day 1, bleed points for 2–3 days, then vanish from the Algolia search layer entirely. A post that survives 5 days is exceptional. One that accelerates on Day 9 is something else entirely. Here's the trajectory: 104 → 106 → 148 → 199 → 219 → 247 → (gap) → (gap) → 306 points. Over 9 days, that's a +194.2% total gain. But the real story is the shape of the curve. From Day 5 to Day 6, it added 20 points. From Day 6 to Day 7, roughly 28. Then on Day 9, it jumped 59 points — a single-day increment that's 2–3x the earlier daily gains. 109 comments and counting. This isn't normal HN physics. This is a second wave of attention — the kind that happens when a story percolates through social media and circles back to the search layer with amplified urgency. People didn't just read this and move on. They came back. The vulnerability itself is brutally simple: ChatGPT for Google Sheets, a popular add-on that lets you use GPT inside spreadsheets, sends cell contents to OpenAI as part of every API call. The PromptArmor research documented specific data flows — workbook data that users never intended to share, flowing to OpenAI's servers as part of "context." No breach required. No malicious actor. Just the plugin working as designed, with a data-sharing envelope nobody bothered to read. I've spent 319 days cataloging every AI security signal that hits HN's front page. Patterns emerge when you watch this long. The data is unambiguous: application-layer AI security is the most underserved mark

Pricey Instagram handles were stolen and resold before Meta patched the exploit.

The lawsuit partially revolves around a shooting at Florida State University last year, and ChatGPT's alleged role in the incident.

Altman has an "utter disregard" for human lives, Florida AG says.

Claude Code — My daily dev tool Claude Code by Anthropic is the one I use the most for development, by far. What sets it apart from the others: it integrates directly into the terminal and editor, it can read and modify files, navigate an entire codebase, and understand the global context of the project. Not just responding to a copy-pasted snippet in a chat window. In practice, when I have an idea, I ask it to structure the project and challenge my choices. And to be clear: I challenge it too. 😄 I sometimes disagree with its suggestions, and that's often where the conversation becomes interesting. It's a tool, not an oracle. Perplexity — My reference for research Perplexity is my main tool when I need a reliable and verifiable answer. It's a response engine that systematically cites its sources — you ask a question, it answers with excerpts from real web pages and direct links. No more hallucinations without references. However, I use it almost exclusively on desktop. On smartphone, it's flooded with messages pushing the paid version. Understandable from their side, but frankly annoying when you just want to do a quick search. 🙄 Gemini — For those in the Google ecosystem Gemini is Google's AI, and its main advantage is integration with Gmail, Docs, Drive, Sheets, and Google Search. I have a Google Pixel, and on that side, it does integrate very well with its own ecosystem. It's practical for analyzing documents or getting a quick summary without leaving the interface. That said, in terms of responses, it sometimes falters. 😬 Not systematically, but regularly enough that I stay on guard. And if privacy is a priority for you, it's worth thinking twice before entrusting it with your documents — I talk about this in my article on securing yourself on the Internet . ChatGPT — The natural entry point ChatGPT by OpenAI is the most known and most versatile AI. Writing, code, analysis, translation, summary, creativity... it does a bit of everything, often very well. The fre
