And sure, you can make a cute little Dot character, just like you can make a cute little Muse character. But OpenAI\u2019s early marketing is all about how you can use it to do Business Things: launch websites, reschedule calls, build slide decks for board meetings. Muse, on the other hand, keeps reminding me to buy a jacket I looked at.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">This week on <em>The Vergecast<\/em>, we\u2019re talking about Dots and the current state of agentic assistants. Our conversation quickly turns back to Muse, which we\u2019ve all been trying out to varying degrees of success. David Imel put it in charge of his Facebook Marketplace listings. Nilay Patel had it sort through his junk email. It managed to do both, and it managed to make us uncomfortable in the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">On the topic of trusting AI, we had to discuss this week\u2019s AI compact, where tech leaders gathered at the White House to sign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/ai-artificial-intelligence\/1002584\/trump-us-ai-safety-deal-self-regulation-tech-execs\">a \u201cmorally binding\u201d agreement<\/a> to police themselves and make sure their models don\u2019t go off the rails. We\u2019re not really sure this one\u2019s going to do much.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">After that, it\u2019s a big round of gadget news: a wild new Huawei phone-slash-camera, a polished new suite of Kindles, and rumors of the forthcoming HomePad. Then we head into everyone\u2019s favorite podcast within a podcast, and finally over to the Lightning Round, where we\u2019re talking America\u2019s new chatbot, Reddit further limiting access, Cybercabs, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">If you want to learn more about any of the stories we discussed this week, you can check out the links below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">P.S., We\u2019d love for you to vote for us in the Signal Awards!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/podcast\/1004059\/openai-dots-kindle-homepad-cybercab-vergecast\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI\u2019s answer to Muse arrived this week, and it looks a whole lot like Muse dressed up in a suit and tie.
