| 🤖 OpenAI plans largest ChatGPT revamp since launch LINK |
- OpenAI is preparing the biggest overhaul of ChatGPT since it first launched, turning the chatbot into a "superapp" that will roll out on the website and mobile application over the coming weeks, per the Financial Times.
- The redesigned app will lean heavily on the Codex AI assistant and push users toward autonomous AI agents, coding, image generation, and third-party applications, reflecting the company's view that chatbots are not the future.
- Thibault Sottiaux, who runs OpenAI's core product and platform teams, said the superapp will give each user a personal agent reachable through mobile, desktop, web, or by talking to it in the car.
| 🍎 Inside Apple’s secret meeting that led it to finally take AI seriously LINK |
- A confidential early-2025 meeting of Apple's top executives, called by then-COO Jeff Williams without Tim Cook present, finally pushed the company to confront its AI crisis after Apple Intelligence flopped and the Siri overhaul faced delays.
- Vision Pro creator Mike Rockwell volunteered to fix Siri and replaced its leadership with his visionOS team, while Craig Federighi blocked him from reporting directly to Cook and kept AI under software engineering.
- Rockwell, Federighi and Eddy Cue then struck a deal to power Siri with Google's Gemini models and Google Cloud, and former AI chief John Giannandrea was stripped of duties and replaced by ex-Google executive Amar Subramanya.
| 🔓 Instagram AI chatbot breach hits 20,000 accounts LINK |
- Meta has confirmed that hackers compromised at least 20,225 Instagram accounts by exploiting a flaw in its AI-powered support chatbot, marking the first time the company has put a number on the scope of the breach.
- The "High Touch Support" account recovery tool sent password reset links to any email address without checking whether it actually belonged to the Instagram account, a bug that attackers exploited from April 17 to May 31, 2026.
- Potentially exposed data includes contact info, birth dates, posts, direct messages, and profile information; Meta disabled the chatbot, invalidated reset links, and placed affected users into a mandatory security checkpoint to reset passwords.
| 🔄 Companies rehire workers laid off for AI LINK |
- Companies that cut staff in favor of AI are now rehiring people for those same jobs, a pattern Robert Half consultants are calling the "AI boomerang" effect after surveying 2,000 U.S. hiring managers across industries.
- Nearly a third of hiring managers, 32%, said their organizations eliminated a role or let someone go because of productivity gains from AI or automation, only to later rehire for that exact same position.
- Finance led the rehiring trend at 44%, followed by HR at 35% and tech at 32%, with managers citing gaps in quality, oversight, and decision-making once business demands picked up after the initial cuts.
| 🔥 Founders name VCs who burned them on X LINK |
- Startup founders flooded X over the weekend with stories calling out venture capitalists they say mistreated them, with Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince leading the charge by naming Vinod Khosla in a disputed account from 2012.
- Prince said Khosla offered him his co-founders' stock if he fired them during a Series C dinner, while Khosla denied the story on X and was simultaneously ranked No. 1 on Forbes's 2026 Midas List.
- The thread, kicked off by Greg Isenberg's story about a partner sleeping through his $15 million Series A pitch, drew mostly billionaires and past-exit founders like Mark Pincus, Travis Kalanick, and Liz Wessel.
