🎓 Udemy integrates its 290,000 courses into ChatGPT

Udemy announced a partnership with OpenAI. Its catalog of more than 290,000 courses is now accessible inside ChatGPT through a course discovery feature.

Users can browse and interact with Udemy’s learning content directly in chat instead of leaving the interface.

The move comes as Udemy prepares to merge with Coursera in a deal valued at about $2.5B. The transaction, announced in December 2025, is expected to close in the second half of 2026 and would combine the two largest online learning platforms under the Coursera brand.

AI search is becoming the new front door for education platforms.

⚠️ Anthropic safety researcher resigns, says “the world is in danger” from fast AI progress

🖱 A senior AI safety researcher at Anthropic, Mrinank Sharma, stepped down, warning that rapid AI development puts the world at risk. He said safety teams face ongoing pressure to sideline core concerns, including bioterrorism and other catastrophic scenarios.

🖱 Anthropic was founded to build safer AI systems, yet even its CEO Dario Amodei has publicly cautioned that progress may be moving too quickly and called for slowing deployment.

🖱 Similar tensions have surfaced elsewhere. Senior safety researchers, including members of the former Superalignment team at OpenAI, have left, arguing that commercial priorities are overtaking efforts to reduce risks from systems that could surpass human intelligence.

🖱 Former OpenAI researcher Zoe Hitzig resigned after ads were introduced in ChatGPT. She warned that advertising inside highly personal conversations could enable subtle manipulation, especially as users share sensitive details about health, finances, and relationships.

Safety debates are no longer internal. They are playing out in public as AI systems scale.

🦞 OpenAI acquires OpenClaw and hires its creator

OpenAI has absorbed the OpenClaw project and brought its creator, Peter Steinberg, into the company. He will lead development of the next generation of AI agents. Sam Altman called him a genius and said his ideas will soon shape OpenAI products.

OpenClaw itself will remain open source. OpenAI says it will continue to support and develop the project.

The repository has been one of the fastest-growing in GitHub history by stars. At its peak, it gained 34,000 stars in two days. In about 60 days, it went from roughly 9,000 to nearly 200,000 stars. For comparison, Kubernetes took about three years to reach 100,000.

Anthropic reportedly had an opportunity to move earlier but focused on trademark concerns around the original name ClawdBot.

This time, OpenAI moved first and secured the team behind the momentum.

🥋 AGIBOT shows kung fu robot A3 with jump kicks and flips

Shanghai-based AGIBOT presented its robot A3 performing jump kicks, spinning strikes at different angles, and backflips. The company says the robot can consistently hit its target during demonstrations.

Despite the martial arts moves, the intended use case is far calmer. AGIBOT plans to deploy A3 for guided tours and escort services.

🍏 Apple to unveil $699 MacBook with A18 Pro in March

Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans to announce a lower-cost MacBook at its March event. The device is expected to start at $699.

Instead of an M-series chip, it will use the A18 Pro from the iPhone 16 Pro. While positioned below Apple Silicon M chips, the A18 Pro is said to approach original M1-level performance. The display is rumored at 12.9 inches. Apple has also developed a cheaper and faster aluminum manufacturing process for the chassis.

Color testing reportedly includes light yellow, light green, blue, pink, silver, and dark gray. Current MacBook Air models start at $999.

A sub-$700 Mac would reset the entry point to the Mac lineup.

🤖 The man who taught AI to see

If you have ever scanned a bank card with your phone camera or watched an app extract data from a receipt, you used technology shaped by Yann LeCun.

In the 1980s, computer vision was stuck. Systems tried to process entire images at once, consumed heavy compute, and produced weak results. LeCun took a different path inspired by biology. He designed neural networks that break images into small patterns like edges and curves, then assemble meaning from those pieces.

In 1989, he introduced a handwritten digit recognition system. By the 1990s, his algorithms were processing roughly 10% of bank checks in the US. It was one of the first cases where neural networks delivered measurable profit to large companies.
