Your Office Is About to Get a Lot Smarter: ChatGPT introduces meeting recording and connectors for Google Drive, Box, and more

Key Takeaway: OpenAI’s ChatGPT now integrates with major cloud storage platforms and offers AI-powered meeting recording and deep-research connectors to streamline enterprise workflows.

More Insights:

• ChatGPT gains connectors for Dropbox, Box, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Google Drive, enabling it to search and leverage a company’s own files within its responses.

• New meeting recording and transcription features generate time-stamped notes, actionable items, and let users query those transcripts just like any other document.

• Deep Research connectors in beta connect ChatGPT to HubSpot, Linear, and select Microsoft and Google tools, allowing for richly informed reports using both internal data and web sources.

• MCP (Model Context Protocol) support for Pro, Team, and Enterprise tiers lets organizations hook ChatGPT into virtually any compatible tool for enhanced, context-aware research.
  Why it matters: This push cements ChatGPT as a central hub for enterprise productivity—transforming it from a conversational AI into a unified platform for document search, meeting intelligence, and data-driven research, which could fundamentally shift how businesses collaborate and make decisions.

Sakana’s AI learns to upgrade its own code

Key Takeaway: The Darwin Gödel Machine is a self-improving AI that leverages open-ended evolutionary search and code rewriting to continuously enhance its programming performance on real-world benchmarks.

More Insights:

• Self-Modification Loop: The DGM reads and edits its own Python codebase, proposing and validating changes through benchmark evaluations, enabling it to discover new tools, editing strategies, and patching workflows.

• Open-Ended Exploration: By maintaining an archive of diverse “stepping-stone” agents and sampling from them, the DGM avoids premature convergence and uncovers novel improvements that simpler optimization methods would miss.

• Empirical Gains: On SWE-bench, the DGM improved from 20% to 50% success rate, and on Polyglot it rose from 14.2% to 30.7%, far outpacing hand-designed baselines—showing that self-modification accelerates its own learning.

• Transferability & Generality: Improvements discovered under one foundation model or programming language transfer effectively to other models (e.g., Claude 3.7, o3-mini) and languages (Python → Rust, C++, Go), proving it finds broadly applicable agent designs.

Why it matters: This work points toward AI that can autonomously evolve and refine itself indefinitely—potentially transforming how we build intelligent systems while underscoring the urgent need for robust safety and oversight.

OpenAI Fights to Keep Your Deleted Chats Secret

Key Takeaway: OpenAI is challenging a court order to preserve all ChatGPT logs—deleted or not—arguing it tramples user privacy and imposes heavy technical and legal burdens.

More Insights:

• A May 13 court order compels OpenAI to retain every ChatGPT conversation, including chats users deleted or marked as “temporary,” after media plaintiffs claimed users might erase paywalled content evidence.

• OpenAI argues there’s no proof it intentionally destroyed relevant data and that forcing it to override users’ deletion choices violates its privacy commitments to hundreds of millions of users.

• The order covers both consumer ChatGPT (Free, Plus, Pro) and API logs, jeopardizing sensitive personal and corporate information—OpenAI warns this could breach contracts and global privacy regulations.

• Users panicked on social media, fearing confidential conversations and trade secrets could be exposed, and some began considering alternative AI services to avoid potential data retention risks.

Why it matters: This showdown highlights the tension between discovery in high-stakes copyright litigation and the fundamental promise of digital privacy—if courts can mandate perpetual retention of private AI chats, every user’s “right to be forgotten” could vanish, reshaping our trust in AI platforms.
