did anyone in the UK see the channel 4 news? it had a 5 minute bit on google talk, it seems to suggest that they would be doing a pc to phone service in talk in future plus it went over other google apps. in fact i got the distinct impression that they were advertising talk and gmail. ae google allowed to bribe news programmes????????

it was all over the newspapers as well up london on the news boards in front of the papers, i got the feeling something weird happened today.....

Same, LOL. Google is the only person who could open an IM client and have hundreds of thousands of users the next day.

I didn't see it on C4 news, but while I was in the car, I heard there was a short bit about it on the radio. They were talking mainly about VOIP, and strangely, not mentioning the instant messaging.

I think it should have the following features:

1: File transfer - Required!

2: Emoticons - Any messenger without emoticons gives the user an impression it is old.

3: Avatars - Only if the option can be hidden or turned off to keep the minimalism look.

4: Conversation logging - Password protected would be nice too.

5: Webcam support - Replacing the avatars possibly.

6: Font - Colour, face, size and B/I/U

7: Multi OS support - Linux, mac etc.

8: Different account types - @notonlygmail.com

9: Member profiles - This would encourage users to meet other users.

..anybody want anything else?

1. ya ok, that would be nice.

2. I can live without them..

3. Could really care less.

4. All ready has it

5. Will come later

6. Not needed. I have never felt the need to change the font size or color in a text chat?

7. Read the site, Mac and Linux version are coming.

8. No, it should remain exclusive to Google addresses

9. No one ever fills them out anyways

The one thing I really think they should add is the Gateways to other IM networks so I can get ride of MSN Messenger.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
