ChatGPT Live could make talking to AI feel straight out of the movies

We might finally get the AI sidekick sci-fi movies promised

Elderly women using ChatGPT live on a smartphone

AI voice assistants have been chasing the sci-fi dream for years, but they still have a hard time holding a conversation with humans. Most voice systems still need clear turns, clean pauses, and a few seconds before they respond. OpenAI is now rolling out GPT-Live, a new voice model for ChatGPT Voice that is designed to make those exchanges feel faster and less scripted.

The main upgrade is what OpenAI calls a full-duplex architecture. In simpler terms, GPT-Live can listen and speak at the same time. It continuously processes what the user is saying while also generating its own response, allowing it to decide when to talk, when to pause, when to keep listening, and when to use a tool.

A broken Galaxy Fold 5 just became the Pixel desktop future I want Google to steal

A broken Galaxy Fold 5 became a tiny PC because Samsung already built the desktop mode Google keeps treating like a side quest.

Desktop mode within Android 16.

A broken Galaxy Fold 5 should be a sad little monument to modern gadget math. One busted outer display, one repair bill nobody wants to inspect too closely, and suddenly a powerful foldable starts heading toward a drawer. Instead, a Redditor turned one into a glowing acrylic DeX box with spare parts, fans, a USB hub, and the kind of LED lighting that makes every homebrew computer look mildly illegal.
