The Revolutionary OpenAI Gadget Is Just A Speaker With A Camera

After months of hype around Sam Altman and legendary Apple designer Jony Ive, reports suggest their “revolutionary” hardware is merely a smart speaker with a camera rather than a smartphone replacement.

Details:

• The device is a wall-mounted or tabletop smart speaker featuring a touchscreen and a built-in camera, priced between $200 and $300, but due to delays, it won't hit the market until at least 2027

• It uses OpenAI’s advanced models to stay context-aware, recognizing faces for payments, identifying objects to suggest purchases, and tracking habits to nudge better behaviors

• Reaction has been mostly negative, with critics comparing it to Amazon Echo Show and the failed Facebook Portal, saying its surveillance-heavy, shopping-focused design feels more creepy than revolutionary

After billions in investment and massive expectations, the internet is left wondering if a camera watching you in your living room is really the future of AI.

Anthropic Launches Claude Code Security To Automate Vulnerability Patching

Anthropic has officially launched Claude Code Security, a built-in capability embedded directly into Claude Code that proactively identifies and remediates complex software vulnerabilities.

Details:

• Powered by Opus 4.6, it goes beyond traditional pattern matching by reasoning through codebases like a human researcher to analyze data flows, component interactions, and business logic for novel flaws

• The system has already detected over 500 previously unknown vulnerabilities in open-source projects, utilizing a multi-stage verification process to suggest targeted patches that require human approval

• It is available as a limited research preview for Enterprise and Team customers, while maintainers of open-source repositories can apply for F-R-E-E, expedited use of the tool

This release shifts the cybersecurity balance back to defenders by giving developers the same advanced AI tools attackers use to find exploits.
