The AI is scanning either way β the only question is who files the report first.

π§ ChatGPT now watches what you do β and remembers
OpenAI has added Computer History to its macOS desktop app: the assistant tracks your clicks and keystrokes, builds a timeline, and makes it available to both ChatGPT and Codex.
In a demo, OpenAI's Dominic Kundel showed the app locating a recent document, checking whether it was sent in Slack, and summarising the morning β minus the small talk.
The Windows Recall comparison is inevitable β Microsoft's feature once caused an outcry for silently grabbing screenshots. OpenAI says this captures only "events," no images or video. What counts as an "event" remains helpfully vague.
The feature is opt-in; you can exclude apps and delete entries manually. The company building AGI kindly asks you to tick a box so it doesn't accidentally surveil you.

π Amazon's drone delivery is about to be everywhere
So I genuinely thought Prime Air was still this small pilot thing β like, a handful of towns, nothing serious. Turns out no. Amazon just announced that Prime Air is expanding to nearly 500 US cities by end of 2026. That's a sixfold jump from where they are right now.
Currently running in 11 spots across Texas, Florida, Michigan, Louisiana and a couple others. Next up: Chicago, Atlanta, Cleveland, Syracuse, and Boise metro areas.
Thirty-minute delivery, millions of items β groceries, meds, electronics. Free for Prime members on orders $50+, otherwise $2.99, or $4.99 without a subscription.
So yeah, drones buzzing overhead just becoming a normal Tuesday β 9to5Mac has the full list of where it's landing next.

π¦ AirTag inside a rare book led straight to an Amazon scanning facility
Booksellers had long suspected bulk orders were coming from AI companies. 404 Media hid an AirTag in a shipment β it ended up at an Amazon site where, employees confirmed, bindings are sliced off, pages scanned, and the books destroyed.
A 2025 US ruling deemed it lawful as "transformative" use of copyrighted material.

π¬ Okay so this actually happened
A Chinese animated film called *Niu Lai* came out on August 5th with some of the roughest 3D animation people had ever seen β viewers were calling the characters "ugly", "eerie", you get the idea. For its first ten days it was pulling in 200 yuan on a bad day. That's like thirty dollars.
Then it got memed. Hard.
Suddenly everyone wanted to go see the disaster in person, and on one Monday alone it sold nearly 300,000 tickets and made 8.2 million yuan. By the time the Associated Press picked up the story, the total gross had hit $2.5 million β against a budget that was clearly a few thousand dollars at most.
So yeah, the movie made over a thousand times its budget because the internet made fun of it. That's just how things work now I guess.

π§ Okay so this is a whole thing
So, Astarion is a vampire companion from Baldur's Gate 3 β voiced by Neil Newbon β and ever since the game blew up in 2023, he's basically become one of the most analysed characters in recent gaming. People are still picking apart his backstory.
Now there's an official prequel novel coming, written by award-winning author T. Kingfisher. And on October 8th at New York Comic Con, Newbon and Kingfisher are doing a panel together β "Before Baldur's Gate 3: Astarion's Untold Story", 12:15 to 1:00 p.m. ET.
The focus is specifically on the parts the game barely touched: the nearly two centuries Astarion spent under Cazador's control. How Kingfisher approached writing that, how Newbon thinks about the character from the inside.
For anyone who's spent three years going through every scrap of lore, this panel is kind of a big deal.
