🤖 ChatGPT launches Chrome extension to rival Gemini

OpenAI released a ChatGPT extension for Chrome that reads the active tab and answers questions about its content without copying text into the chat.

The extension can summarize, translate, and respond based on the open webpage, directly competing with Google's Gemini sidebar.

Gemini still leads by handling 10 tabs at once and integrating with Gmail, Calendar, and Drive, plus Auto Browse for form filling and bookings.

The competition now focuses on which browser better understands and acts for the user, not just on chatbot intelligence.

📣JD Vance says America needs fewer office workers and more skilled trades

U.S. Vice President JD Vance argues that too many people pursue 4-year degrees only to end up in what he called "fake jobs" that create little real value. He believes the U.S. should place greater emphasis on skilled trades instead.

Speaking with Mike Rowe, Vance said careers like plumbing, construction, and manufacturing deserve the same respect as traditional white-collar professions. He also noted that many office jobs became harder to justify during the pandemic.

The debate comes as demand for trade careers continues to rise. Rowe said applications for his skilled trades scholarship program increased 10x over the past year, yet only 2 workers replace every 5 who retire. At the same time, college graduates still earn about 60% more than high school graduates on average.

The discussion is shifting from whether college matters to which skills the economy will value most over the next decade.

📈 AI Token Costs Match Engineer Salaries

Analysts at a16z found that in the top 1% of companies, spending on AI tokens per employee nearly equals the average annual salary of an engineer. This cost has grown exponentially recently, suggesting engineers could soon be 'cheaper' than AI usage by the end of the year.

AI tokens are the computational credits companies pay to run large language models and other AI services. Despite high token costs, companies heavily using AI increased their workforce by 10.2% within two years, while those spending less on AI saw almost no growth.

💳 PayPal shareholders push back against Stripe takeover terms

PayPal ($PYPL) shareholders are increasingly criticizing the proposed deal with Stripe, arguing the offer significantly undervalues the company. The probability of a transaction has reportedly risen to 74%.

The proposed valuation of around 10x forward earnings is too low, especially considering that key assets such as Venmo and Braintree would become part of the deal.
⠀
If completed, it would be one of the biggest payments acquisitions in years and reshape the competitive landscape of digital payments.

🤖 OpenAI launches Codex Micro keyboard

OpenAI released the Codex Micro, a $230 keyboard made with Work Louder for users of its AI agent Codex. It has six large keys, each linked to a separate agent and showing status by color: blue means working, green means task done, orange means waiting for human input.

The keyboard lets users switch agents with one press or open the Codex window with two. Codex has over 8 million weekly users, many running multiple agents at once.

Managing several agents on screen is tricky, so OpenAI built this device to track their states physically. It doesn’t write code but helps users handle multiple AI agents simultaneously.
