A new advanced alternative to PowerPoint has emerged — the free presentation editor Bento.
It works directly in your browser and supports the creation of animations, charts, adding images, and various design customizations. Everything is saved in a single HTML file.
There is also integration with AI agents through a separate skill: you can send your Claude or Codex to create a presentation from scratch or edit an existing PPTX.
You can use it here. An alternative to Excel and Notion will be added soon.

We exhale: GPT-6 Astra also couldn't complete the mission with the toy helicopter in GTA: Vice City.
The developer created a plugin that allows the model to control the game. It managed to get through a quarter of the mission and even paused the game to think. But that didn't help.
Everything's fine; this is definitely not AGI.

Has access to ChatGPT been restricted in Russia? The level of network failures when trying to reach the domain chatgpt.com has suddenly increased to 80-85%.
Previously, OpenAI would block login attempts from Russian IP addresses, but now these attempts encounter errors even before connecting to the startup's servers.
The chatbot application has also been affected.

"Spider-Man: A New Day" has become the third highest-grossing film in history, having already earned $2.4 billion worldwide.
Only "Avatar" ($2.92 billion) and "Avengers: Endgame" ($2.79 billion) have better box office numbers. The film continues to fill theaters, and its total earnings may still increase.
Just a reminder to go see it if you haven't already!

Blink and the AI network Alisa AI invited school students to virtually take over Moscow State University (MGU)!
On the 3D map, the main building has already turned purple, and the star on the spire has been replaced with the Alisa AI logo. Users are encouraged to come up with a creative idea—ranging from a giant meme to a capybara on the roof. The winning idea will be transformed by Blink into a real 3D model and featured on the map for an entire month.
However, the project also has a more serious side: with Alisa AI, students can not only conquer MGU in Blink but also do so in real life—by creating a study plan for the Unified State Exam (EGE), clarifying difficult topics, or learning everything about academic competitions.

Memes and jokes in resumes can help in job hunting—even with fake achievements, you can bypass AI recruiters.
AI searches using keywords, so absurd work experiences might actually work. For example, leadership in a Clash of Clans clan was considered relevant managerial experience.
Some people even mention failed interviews at major companies like Goldman Sachs: the AI recognizes the big name but overlooks the note about the rejection.
One guy with “experience in scratching capybara bellies” sent out 100 applications and received 40 invitations for a data analyst position within a week.
Time to update your resume!

GPT-6 Astra can be sent to gather resources in Minecraft: the model searched for diamonds all night while the player was sleeping.
If tools broke, the AI crafted new ones — it even left the mine in search of materials. The diamond expedition was a success.
The plugin for Minecraft is available here. Finally, you can stop playing games.

ChatGPT can now be trained to write on behalf of the user: a new option has been added in the chatbot settings to copy your writing style.
This feature can be enabled in the personalization settings, where the option "rely on my writing style" will be located at the very bottom. You can provide the bot with examples of your emails, Slack chats, and texts from Google Drive.
This function is currently being rolled out, so it may not be available immediately.

LG TVs may be listening in: researchers have caught the LG OLED G5 using its microphone while the screen is off.
Even without an internet connection, the device stores recordings from the microphone locally and uploads them upon reconnection. In the logs, researchers found their own conversations in plain text.
Additionally, it scans the home Wi-Fi and creates a map of phones, smartwatches, IP addresses, and neighboring routers. All of this information is sent to LG's servers.
Now, the TVs are watching us.

Yandex is also pivoting towards smart routing, as shared by Valery Stromov, CEO of "Alice and Smart Devices," in an interview with Forbes. Alongside their Western counterparts, the company is moving from a single universal neural network to a multimodal system…
Alongside the harness revolution, Yandex has strengthened its AI division with new leadership. The company has appointed new technical directors for Alice AI, Search, and smart devices, who collectively bring over 35 years of experience working at Yandex.
The new technical director for Alice AI is Ekaterina Serazhim. Previously, she was responsible for implementing AI responses in Yandex Search. Now, she will focus on creating a unified "reasoning" model for Alice AI.
Andrey Tertyshnikov will oversee Search, continuing to integrate generative responses with traditional search results.
Alexander Yakovlev will concentrate on developing new smart devices and transitioning voice technologies to a new generative model.
We look forward to the day when Alice AI will appoint its own technical directors.
