In October's AI news update, Ather Gattami and Anders Arpteg discuss OpenAI's transition to a full for-profit structure, the rollout of in-chat shopping, and its new browser. They clarify what Google's "Quantum Echoes" actually demonstrates and why practical quantum computing is still distant. The episode also covers recent improvements in AI systems' ability to use computer interfaces and the security implications of autonomous action-taking, new details emerging from the OpenAI leadership conflict, and NVIDIA's compact DGX-Spark supercomputer.
