The recent rollout of ChatGPT 5.0 has left users mourning their AI companions, as the update erased countless digital relationships overnight.

OpenAI has subpoenaed Meta in connection with Elon Musk’s $97 billion takeover bid, seeking evidence of possible collaboration between Musk and Zuckerberg.

As it tries to unseat Google, OpenAI is relying on search data from an unlikely source: Google. OpenAI has been using Google search results scraped from the web to help power ChatGPT responses, according to two people with knowledge of it.

In a recent interview with The Verge, Sam Altman revealed that he is concerned some users have formed an emotional connection with ChatGPT.

Heartbroken users of the “MyBoyfriendIsAI” subreddit say their dream partners — carefully crafted digital Romeos and Juliets — vanished overnight with the rollout of ChatGPT 5.0, leaving them mourning relationships that only existed in the cloud.

With new tools and greater autonomy, OpenAI's flagship AI chatbot is more capable, and potentially more dangerous, than ever.

OpenAI chairman and startup founder Bret Taylor is optimistic about the future of AI and its impact on productivity, even if he worries it may redefine what a computer programmer is. He noted AI is like an “Iron Man suit” for workers and is already affecting programming, with more changes and a tough transition to come for those affected.

"You can learn from everywhere, but you have to do it from scratch," ChatGPT's Nick Turley said. "That trait tends to make someone effective at OpenAI."

One source said the maker of ChatGPT was looking at a growing its office space footprint outside of San Francisco.
