🤖 ChatGPT adds Dreaming for memory updates

ChatGPT now uses Dreaming to update its memory in the background by reviewing chat history and synthesizing current facts. This replaces the old static list of facts that often became outdated or irrelevant.

Dreaming tracks changes like a planned trip turning into a past event, for example updating 'user is going to Singapore' to 'user was in Singapore in July 2025.' OpenAI cut its computing cost by 5 times, making it ready for wider rollout.

The feature is live only for Plus and Pro users in the US so far, with other regions and plans coming soon.

🎩 Tech Leaders Play Mafia on YouTube

The venture fund Founders Fund gathered 13 tech stars, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anduril cofounder Palmer Luckey, Figma founder Dylan Field, Signal creator Moxie Marlinspike, and biohacker Brian Johnson, to play the classic game Mafia. The entire session was recorded and posted online.

Players received secret roles as either townsfolk or mafia. The game lasted five rounds where bluffing and outsmarting opponents were the only weapons. The goal was to eliminate the opposing side through deduction and deception.

🤖 Claude writes most of its own code now

By May, over 80% of the code in Anthropic's production base was written by Claude. In Q2, engineers merged eight times more code daily than in 2024, thanks to Claude automating much of the development work.

Claude is a model that improves itself and writes code to build its next version. Humans still lead in setting goals and handling complex context, but agents already outperform people in research tasks with clear metrics.

In one AI safety experiment, agents improved solutions by 97% in a week, while humans managed 23%. Anthropic sees this self-improving cycle accelerating faster than expected and calls for coordination tools, including possible pauses in frontier AI development.

🤖 ChatGPT can now send emails from chat

ChatGPT apps can now perform real actions in connected apps, including sending and editing emails. Important actions require user approval and have built-in security checks.

This lets users send and edit emails directly within the chat interface. ChatGPT acts more like a full work assistant by handling confidential tasks safely.

🤖 Bots Make Up Majority of Web Traffic

According to Cloudflare Radar, 57.5% of all HTML page requests last week came from bots, including crawlers, AI data collectors, and scripts.

Only 42.5% were from real users in browsers.

JSON now accounts for 33.1% of all HTTP traffic, surpassing HTML at 12%.

JSON is used for machine-to-machine API calls, while HTML is what humans see in browsers.

🎁 China launches first underwater data center

China activated the world's first underwater data center near Shanghai at the end of May. It runs on 192 server racks powered almost entirely by offshore wind turbines, using seawater for cooling through a sealed copper pipe system that cuts electricity use by nearly 23%.

The data center currently operates at 2.3 MW with a planned capacity of 24 MW, enough to power 20,000 homes. Its underwater location reduces land use by 90% compared to traditional centers.

This approach aims to save fresh water and energy but raises questions about long-term durability underwater and environmental impact on marine life.

While some explore orbital data centers, China is testing the ocean as a new frontier.
