DAILY TOP TRENDS

OpenAI Wants The World Wide Web

OpenAI is in the early stages of developing an internet browser that would act as the go-to terminal for using ChatGPT on the web.

The Big Picture: A web browser from OpenAI would be the tech company’s latest assault on rival Google, which runs the most popular browser, Chrome, and has tried to catch up in AI with its Gemini chatbot. With the US Department of Justice seeking to force a sale of Chrome on antitrust grounds, OpenAI could have a shot at taking the throne.

Behind the Code: OpenAI’s browser wants to remake the web for the age of AI.

• The browser, internally called “NLWeb” (or Natural Language Web) would allegedly allow users to deploy ChatGPT to complete tasks online or surface relevant information on websites.

• According to The Information, that could mean pinpointing a coat that would work well on a trip to a different climate or finding a recipe for a side that goes well with something you’re cooking.

• Additionally, OpenAI has pitched to brands that it would give them a new way to communicate with site visitors using ChatGPT, making customer service more conversational.

The Future: NLWeb is still a long way from going public, but OpenAI has already made some key hires to oversee its development — Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher, who helped build Chrome. OpenAI may be hoping to protect ChatGPT and its upcoming search engine by developing an ecosystem that would ensure access to both — precisely the thinking that led Google to build Chrome in the first place (the fear that Microsoft could box out Search). 

Considering that OpenAI systems are only as good as the data they have access to, a browser could ensure that its LLM is always up to date.

Microhaus Drags And Drops A New Home Wherever You Want

Housing start-up Haus.me is rolling out a tiny home that’s small enough to fit anywhere you want… without needing expensive permits.

The Small Picture: You don’t need another reminder that housing is the most expensive it’s been in decades, thanks to rising home costs, property prices, and mortgage rates. Any solution that allows people to own a home for as cheap as possible could be embraced by millennials and Gen Zers who feel a traditional house is too out of reach.

Between the Walls: Microhauses may soon be popping up in a neighborhood near you, according to Fast Company.

• The base model of The Microhaus starts at $35,000 and is only 120 square feet… but it contains all the amenities of a home, including a bed, kitchen, and bathroom.

• The home doesn’t require a foundation and is made using an “extra-strong, fire-resistant polymer composite material for the walls” that can allegedly withstand Category 5 hurricane winds or an earthquake.

• Heating, cooling, and lighting can be powered by a single extension cord. Water comes from hooking up to any conventional hose, while sewage can connect to a black water tank or a city sewer system (don’t mix these up).

• For an extra $9,900, it can be outfitted to go off the grid — equipped with solar panels, battery backup, a water tank, and a composting toilet.

Future Living: Microhauses are small enough to be considered an “accessory structure,” so no expensive permit is required. That’s by design. The installation is even so easy that it can be dropped off by a truck with a crane and hooked up in about 15 minutes. Since they can fit in a traditional backyard, the homes could become a go-to option for Airbnb listings or multi-generational families looking to create more space to spread out.

53.8% of you voted Somewhere in between in Friday’s poll: How would you describe your attention span?

“I was born in the ‘90s and didn’t have a smartphone until college. In my youth, I would get hyper-focused on a movie, TV show, game, or book. I could happily lose myself in a piece of media for hours. But now, I find it hard not to switch between screens, whether it’s light multitasking or mindlessly checking updates on various social feeds. While advances in technology have made our lives infinitely easier and more productive, I do fear we’ve lost our ability to deeply and meaningfully engage with anything.”

“I’ve got ADD.”

“My span involves the level of interest I have in the subject.”

“Some days, it’s pretty strong, but other days, my brain will crumble and melt into itself after 10 to 20 minutes.”

“Have Parkinson’s.”
