OpenAI killed a ChatGPT feature that made some sensitive conversations publicly searchable.
The search-engine-indexing feature recently went viral online — if you knew where to look, anyone on the internet could access public ChatGPT logs where people seemed to confess to crimes, share trade secrets, and more potentially damning scenarios.
Dane Stuckey, OpenAI's CISO, shared in an X post Thursday that it will be removed starting Friday morning.

Airbnb's Brian Chesky: We're Open to Partnering With AI Chatbots
Airbnb's Brian Chesky is close to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, but that doesn't mean that Airbnb will necessarily distribute its inventory through Altman's ChatGPT. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said during the company's second-quarter earnings call Wednesday that it is still "feeling out" the possibility of working with the big AI chatbots like ChatGPT, which he called "an incredibly compelling product." "We're certainly open to" integrating with major AI Chatbots, which could be a source of lead generation for Airbnb, Chesky said. Unlike which has partnerships with OpenAI, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft and sees generative AI chatbots as a new distribution channel, Airbnb has made no decisions yet about selling stays, Services or Experiences through major AI assistants.

Corporate Professional Turned AI Entrepreneur Manas Pathak Says Future Workforce Needs Entrepreneurial Mindset -- and the Ability to Think Like a Coder
PHOENIX, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Manas Pathak, founder of the startups EarthEn Energy and Grid8 and former corporate professional at Intel Corporation, is calling for a fundamental shift in how the next generation is prepared for the future of work. His message is clear: tomorrow's workforce must be equipped with an entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to think like coders—not just code, but think in the structured, logical, and solution-oriented way coding teaches. After a successful corporate career, Pathak founded EarthEn Energy and Grid8, two startups focused on applying artificial intelligence to solve critical problems in energy and infrastructure. Through these ventures, he has seen firsthand how rapidly the landscape is evolving—and how unprepared many young professionals are to navigate it. "The future will not be linear, and no job is future-proof," says Pathak. "What is future-proof is the ability to spot opportunities and build solutions. Entrepreneurial thinking helps you identify what needs to be done. AI and coding skills help you actually do it." Pathak believes the traditional divide between "builders" and "thinkers" is collapsing. In today's world, employees need to be both. Whether climbing the ranks inside a company or launching their own startup, the combination of initiative, creative problem-solving, and technical fluency will be key to long-term relevance and success. "It's not just about writing lines of code—it's about developing a way of thinking that's analytical, structured, and deeply problem-oriented," says Pathak. "That mindset, which often comes from learning to code, is what gives people the power to act on the opportunities they discover." Pathak urges schools, universities, and companies to go beyond surface-level tech skills and cultivate deeper, foundational thinking. "We don't know exactly what the future looks like, but we know what it will demand," he adds. "People who can spot opportunity and build toward it—those are the ones who will thrive." About Manas Pathak With a background in corporate roles across the tech and energy sectors, Manas Pathak is now the founder of EarthEn Energy and Grid8, two startups at the intersection of artificial intelligence and energy infrastructure.

How to Navigate the Jungle of Online Job Postings
You probably haven't looked for a job in a newspaper's classified pages since the Bush administration—possibly the first one. It could be worth reviving this old-school strategy because many of the listings offer a way to bypass those dreaded online application portals. Clicking 'apply' for an online job posting can feel like tossing your résumé into a digital abyss. A lot of employers disdain also the process because so many job seekers use artificial intelligence to apply en masse.
