ChatGPT just got a massive upgrade with the rollout of OpenAI’s latest GPT-5.2 model, bringing faster, smarter responses and improved reasoning and long-document processing. However, the new model doesn’t come with the adult mode CEO Sam Altman promised earlier this year. Back in October, Altman outlined plans to bring back a less restrictive version of ChatGPT that would have a more expressive personality similar to GPT-4o. At the time, he also teased an adult mode that would “allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.” We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health…

I just finished a group video call with my siblings in an utterly dark cabin surrounded by pine trees. And for the first time, I didn’t hear a complaint that goes something like “please turn up the brightness, I can’t see your darn face.”  It was the same Mac as usual, my go-to video call app, and a familiar cellular internet situation.

Think of it…

Instead, it now triggers Chrome’s full AI interface right in the side panel, blending image search, page reading, and chat into one unified spot. In this new setup, activating Lens does more than…
