If you have ever drafted an email in ChatGPT and then had to copy it across to Gmail or Outlook to actually send it, you can now skip that extra step.
OpenAI has rolled out the ability to send emails directly from writing blocks in ChatGPT on the web, keeping the whole process inside a single conversation from start to finish.
Draft it. Tweak it. Send it.

ChatGPT writing blocks now let you send emails
Writing blocks are a formatting feature that ChatGPT introduced late last year. When you ask ChatGPT to draft an email, instead of returning a plain chat response, it presents your email in a clean, separate block that looks and feels closer to a real email editor.

You can highlight any line and ask for changes, accept or reject suggestions one by one, and edit text directly inside the block without copying anything elsewhere. The latest update takes that one step further by letting you hit send without ever leaving the chat.
Is it safe to send emails through ChatGPT?
OpenAI
Before you go all in on sending emails through ChatGPT, there is one thing to keep in mind. A recent lawsuit filed in California claims OpenAI shared user prompts, chat queries, and identifying information with Google and Meta tracking tools without proper consent. The case alleges that it violated California privacy law and federal wiretap rules. So maybe hold off on drafting anything too sensitive in there.
What else is ChatGPT up to lately?
That said, OpenAI is not slowing down on new features. ChatGPT is getting smarter at remembering things about you by learning from your chat history over time and retaining that information so your conversations feel more personalized.
On the productivity side, ChatGPT for Excel and Google Sheets has officially moved out of beta and is now available globally, letting you build workbooks, clean data, and write formulas in plain language without needing to be a spreadsheet expert.

Turns out, teaching games like Battleship can make small AI models a whole lot smarter
By turning Battleship into an AI training ground, researchers helped smaller models reason more efficiently.
Small AI models just got a surprising boost from a very old game.
MIT researchers used a Battleship-style setup to test whether AI agents can improve how they gather information before making a move. The result was a sharp jump in performance for smaller systems, including one model that went from rarely beating humans to winning most of its games after researchers changed how it searched the board.
This AI can tell a real online review from a fake one, and it’s surprisingly accurate
AI is getting really good at spotting the reviews you shouldn't trust.
Fake reviews are a real menace for online shoppers. If you have ever bought something online based on glowing reviews only to receive a disappointingly subpar product, you know what I mean. A new study published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology proposes an AI-powered system that can not only detect fake reviews, but also trace how they spread.

Steam Machine confirmed to land this summer, but we’re still in the dark about its price
Steam Machine is getting closer to launch, with broader game verification arriving before Valve reveals what it’ll cost.
Valve has confirmed that Steam Machine is shipping this summer, giving PC gamers a real launch window for its SteamOS living room PC. The missing piece is still price, and that’s the detail many buyers need before they can decide whether it fits their setup.
The update came as Valve expanded its Verified program to cover Steam Machine and Steam Frame. For Steam Machine, games will be checked for default controller support, default graphics settings, and how well they run without manual setup. Valve says the hardware is roughly six times as powerful as Steam Deck, while still using SteamOS, the Steam interface, and Proton.
