So if you're planning to upgrade your RAM anytime soon, maybe take out a second mortgage or just accept that 16 gigs is plenty. It's fine. It's definitely enough to play a pirated copy of the official Treasure Planet game on a Game Boy advance emulator, and that's all that matters. It's the only game that's good. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has declared a Code Red and not in the fun Mountain Dew way, marshaling all hands to improve ChatGPT as Google's Gemini 3 steamrolls past it in industry benchmarks. Now that's according to a Wall Street Journal report, and it's a wild turning of the tables compared to three years ago, when Google declared its own code red after ChatGPT launched. Since Gemini 3 rolled out on November 18, monthly active users have surged to 650 million, up from 450 million in July. And in response, OpenAI is reportedly pulling back on extra bells and whistles like its Pulse recommendations feature additional AI agents for shopping and healthcare, and plans to bake ads into ChatGPT, all to focus all of their efforts on not getting bodied by Google. Altman says they'll release a new reasoning model next week that beats Gemini 3 in their internal evaluations. Evaluations like who is Sam's favorite boy? And who thinks Sam is absolutely rockin those crewneck sweaters? It better be you, new ChatGPT. Meanwhile, Google is using its D definitely superior AI to replace headlines in Google's Discover feed with unrelated clickbait. For example, it turned this headline about a Baldur's Gate 3 in game exploit into BG3 players exploit children all while Grok limps along in the back of the pack as it justifies genocides to save Elon Musk's brain from theoretical vaporization. So AI is going great, everyone. Everything's going to be fine.

Time for quick bits. 5 stories. 30 seconds each. 0. Time to process your emotions. Let's go. India's government has decided not to force all new phones shipped in the country to come pre installed with a government made cybersecurity app. The government drew sharp criticism over the plan from the public and from Apple who reportedly refused to go along with it, saying the mandate didn't jive with its price privacy policies. And that's not a quote, but just imagine Tim Cook talking about stuff, not jiving with him. I think he would. Sorry Linda, that ain't gonna jive this time. I'm really happy about this cause when I'm in India the only thing I want immediately installed is some delicious shahi paneer and naan in my belly. You know what I'm saying? Samsung just introduced the Galaxy Z Tri Fold. It its first triple fold phone. The Tri Fold is thin and pocketable like a phone powered by a customized Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. But unlike a phone that is not like this phone, it folds out into a full 10 inch screen. As the first tri fold phone that I'm aware of to have an official North American release planned. It's gonna cost you though with 16 gigabytes of memory and 512 gigs of storage priced at at $2,449. When it comes to the trifold, the real question is who's gonna fold and pay those prices? Probably a surprising amount of people. New York now has a new law that forces retailers to disclose when they use consumers personal data to set prices AKA surveillance pricing. Online shoppers in the US State are now seeing a blunt new line under some prices. This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data. The law is probably cluing a lot of people into the fact that this apparently has already been happening. Now you'll know when you might be paying more just because your profile is yelling hey, I'm shopping here and I have very low price sensitivity. Also, I'm from New York by the way, Android 16 is getting a batch of new features including AI notification summaries and an AI powered notification organizer. Kind of a wild move considering how poorly Apple's initial attempt at the same feature went. It was suspended after a BBC complaint about factual errors in their news alerts. So your notifications are about to lie to you. And your Google Home app is getting worse because sadly some features are being quietly removed like the Call Home feature which used to let you call your Google home devices from your phone. This has left a lot of parents, including mine, frustrated because their easy check in method is gone. I don't care that dinner is in five minutes. Mom, I'm almost finished the solar server level on Treasure Planet. Oh you're so annoying. I should have moved out already probably. And robotics company Engine AI just unveiled the T800. Yes, it's named after that T800, a 1.73-meter humanoid robot that in their video kicks in a pair of saloon doors and then starts throwing throwing spin kicks like my 14 year old cousin after a white monster energy drink. It's scary. The kid. The video also has the T800 walk by a smaller robot about the size of Unitree's popular G1 robot. And Unitree took that personally. They responded by dropping a video of their 1.8 meter H1 robot absolutely wailing on the 1.3 meter G1 and and I'm not sure what they were hoping for, but it looks like a fully grown adult beating up a fourth grader. So if my cousin shows up at your Christmas party with a white monster, you know who to call. Unitree eliminate the threat of children forever. And that's a wrap. See you Friday for more tech news, more AI chaos, and probably more reasons to wonder if we're living in a simulation that's running out of memory. It's getting a little confus. No, just kidding.
