CHATGPT IS BECOMING EMOTIONALLY SENSITIVE 💞
What’s going on? OpenAI is teaching ChatGPT to better understand your emotions and respond with empathy and care.
How will this work? New updates focus on making ChatGPT more emotionally aware—so when you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or upset, it doesn’t just respond with generic advice, but actually tunes into what you need. It might act as a sounding board when you’re sorting through tough feelings, help you ask better questions at the doctor’s office, or gently encourage you to take a break during long sessions. In emotionally charged moments—like when you're struggling with a breakup or mental distress—ChatGPT is learning not to give you answers, but to help you reflect and think clearly. It's AI designed to help you feel understood.
Why is this significant? AI is no longer just a productivity tool—it’s becoming something people turn to when they’re vulnerable. OpenAI is working with mental health experts and researchers to ensure ChatGPT handles those moments with grounded honesty, emotional sensitivity, and real-world responsibility.
“We hold ourselves to one test: if someone we love turned to ChatGPT for support, would we feel reassured? Getting to an unequivocal ‘yes’ is our work.”
CHATGPT HITS 700 MILLION WEEKLY USERS 🤯
What’s going on? ChatGPT has reached 700 million weekly active users, adding 200 million in the past four months.
Why is this significant? This kind of growth signals a massive shift in how people and organizations use AI in everyday life. From students writing papers to businesses automating workflows, ChatGPT is becoming a core tool—making it clear that generative AI is no longer experimental, but foundational.
SCIENTISTS USE AI TO MAKE STRONGER PLASTICS 💪
What’s new? Scientists at MIT and Duke University used AI to discover new molecules that make plastics much stronger and safer.
Want the details? Using a machine-learning model, the team identified iron-based molecules called ferrocenes that act like flexible “weak links” in plastic materials. When these molecules are built into the plastic, they help absorb and spread out stress, making the whole material tougher. Normally, testing these molecules would take weeks per candidate—but with AI, researchers screened thousands of options in a fraction of the time and discovered one that made plastic four times more tear-resistant.
Why is this important? This matters because tougher plastics last longer, which could help reduce plastic waste over time. It also shows how AI can accelerate material discovery in ways humans alone couldn’t predict—potentially leading to smarter, more sustainable materials for everything from packaging to medical devices.
“That really has big implications because if we think of all the plastics that we use and all the plastic waste accumulation, if you make materials tougher, that means their lifetime will be longer. They will be usable for a longer period of time, which could reduce plastic production in the long term.”

Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock
When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs behind Uber and eBay also backed Pacaso. They made $110M+ in gross profit to date. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. Now, you can join, too.
