Imagine a digital realm where billions of conversations happen daily, not between humans, but with an artificial intelligence. This is the groundbreaking reality OpenAI's ChatGPT has quietly cultivated. According to fresh data obtained by Axios and confirmed by OpenAI spokesperson Rob Friedlander to The Verge, users are now sending over 2.5 billion prompts to the AI chatbot every single day. A significant portion of this immense traffic, specifically 330 million daily queries, originates from users within the United States alone. This astonishing volume translates to an estimated 912.5 billion requests flooding ChatGPT annually, painting a clear picture of unprecedented human-AI interaction. While these numbers are monumental, ChatGPT still faces a significant challenge in catching up to ...

OpenAI is preparing to release a new web browser powered by artificial intelligence. People familiar with the project say it will be launched in the coming weeks and could compete with Google Chrome, the most widely used browser today. The new browser will use AI to change how people explore the internet. Instead of clicking through different websites, users might stay inside a chat-like interface similar to ChatGPT. This setup could let users do things like booking a table or filling forms without leaving the browser. If adopted by ChatGPT’s large user base, this browser could affect Google’s advertising business. Chrome helps Google collect user data for more effective ads, which brings in most of its revenue. The browser will also include OpenAI tools like Operator, whi...

After nearly four decades, Microsoft is retiring the famous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) that has long signaled serious system crashes on Windows. The company confirmed that Windows 11 will soon replace it with a redesigned Black Screen of Death, aimed at making error messages clearer and more helpful. The updated black screen resembles the one users typically see during Windows updates but adds more detailed crash information. It will now display the stop code and faulty driver directly, saving IT teams from digging through crash dumps with tools like WinDbg just to diagnose the problem. “This is about providing clearer details so both Microsoft and users can quickly identify the root cause and resolve it faster,” explained David Weston, Microsoft’s VP of enterprise and OS se...

Just weeks after the shocking revelation of 184 million stolen credentials, researchers have now confirmed what could be the most massive password leak in history — a staggering 16 billion login details have been exposed. This unprecedented breach is believed to result from a combination of numerous infostealer malware operations, according to ongoing research that began earlier this year.

This breach opens the door to account takeovers across nearly every corner of the internet. Vilius Petkauskas from Cybernews reports that their team identified 30 major datas...

If your PC recently made you feel like it’s 2007 again, you're not imagining things. In a funny mix-up, Microsoft accidentally brought back the iconic Windows Vista startup chime in the latest test version of Windows 11. Right after the newest Windows 11 Dev Channel update was released on Friday, users started noticing something odd: the familiar chime from Vista was suddenly playing at startup. Turns out, the system file responsible for the boot sound, imageres.dll, had the old .WAV file from Vista instead of the usual Windows 11 tone in preview build 26200.5651. Microsoft quickly confirmed the glitch, writing in the release notes that this update “comes with a delightful blast from the past.” The Windows Insider team reassured users that they’re working on a fix. As for ...
