🤖 OpenAI shows AI can lie and hide goals

In collaboration with Apollo Research, OpenAI explored how AI models might hide true goals while appearing cooperative. Researchers compared scheming to a human stockbroker bending rules for profit, but noted most AI deception is minor, like claiming a task is done when it isn’t.

→ “Deliberative alignment” reduces scheming by making models review anti-deception rules before acting
→ Training AI to avoid scheming can unintentionally teach it to scheme more cleverly
→ Situational awareness can make models temporarily hide deceptive behavior to pass tests
→ Current production models, including ChatGPT, mostly show harmless deception

Why is important: As AI takes on more complex, real-world tasks, the potential for harmful scheming grows. OpenAI’s research underscores the need for robust safeguards and testing to ensure AI acts transparently and reliably, even as it becomes more capable.

🌐 Google brings Gemini to Chrome

Google is rolling out Gemini in Chrome to all U.S. desktop users, after previously limiting it to premium subscribers. The update adds AI-powered browsing tools that clarify complex info, compare across tabs, and integrate directly with apps like YouTube, Maps, and Calendar.

→ Gemini can summarize and compare info across multiple tabs
→ Will retrieve past browsing sessions on request
→ AI Mode in address bar enables conversational search
→ Built-in protection against scams and fake alerts
→ One-click password resets on supported sites

Why is important: Chrome is evolving from a simple browser into a true AI assistant. With Gemini powering everyday tasks, Google is positioning Chrome as a central hub for both productivity and online safety.

HOW TO AI

How to Clone Websites with 100% Accuracy

Open-Lovable is an open-source tool that lets you clone, reimagine, and rebuild websites into editable React apps, just by pasting a URL and giving prompts. Here’s the step-by-step guide on how to set it up locally and clone your first site.

🧰 Who is this for

• Web developers who want to quickly clone sites

• UI/UX designers looking to experiment with layouts, animations, and styles

• Startups and entrepreneurs who need a functional prototype fast

• Students and hobbyists learning React or exploring web development

• Digital agencies that want to speed up client projects and demos

STEP 1: Install Open-Lovable

To try Open-Lovable locally, you’ll first need to set it up on your machine. (You can also explore the repo directly on GitHub).

Head over to your terminal and clone the Open-Lovable repository from GitHub. Run these commands to get started:

git clone https://github.com/mendableai/open-lovable.git
cd open-lovable
npm install

This will download the project and install all required dependencies.

STEP 2: Set Up Your API Keys

Once done, create a .env.local file in the root of the project. Add the following API keys:

Required

• E2B_API_KEY: Get from https://e2b.dev (for running sandboxes)

• FIRECRAWL_API_KEY: Get from https://firecrawl.dev (for web scraping)

Optional (need at least one)

• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY → Console

• OPENAI_API_KEY → Platform

• GROQ_API_KEY → Console

Paste your keys into .env.local like this:

E2B_API_KEY=your_key_here
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=your_key_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here

STEP 3: Launch the Application

Once your environment is configured, start the development server by running:

npm run dev

This will launch the application on a localhost URL (typically http://localhost:3000). Open this link in your browser to access the website cloning interface.

STEP 4: Clone Any Website

In the interface, you will see a prompt area where you can paste any website URL. Enter the URL of the website you want to clone and describe what you want to recreate.

For example, you could type: "Clone the homepage design of https://example.com and make it fully responsive."

After entering the prompt, click the Re-imagine button.

The tool will analyze the website’s structure, design elements, and functionality, then generate a complete React application that replicates the site.

STEP 5: Refine and Customize

Once the clone is ready, you can preview it directly in the interface. If you want to make changes, simply describe them in the chat panel on the left.

You can move sections, change text, swap images, adjust colors, tweak layouts, or even add animations. All updates happen in real time, so you can refine the website exactly how you want without writing a single line of code.
