A YouTuber just did what $60 billion in funding could not stop.

PewDiePie basically built a free ChatGPT and Claude that runs on your own computer, answers to no company, and never sends a word to anyone.

He handed it to 100 million people. You can be one of them. Here is how:
It is called Odysseus.

A private AI that lives on your laptop. Chat, research, your own documents, all running offline. Nothing you type ever leaves your machine.

Everything ChatGPT does, with no subscription and nobody reading along. Image
How to actually get it.

1. Install Ollama, the free engine that runs AI models on your computer: ollama.com

2. Get the Odysseus app from GitHub: github.com/pewdiepie-arch…

3. Point Odysseus at Ollama, pick a model, and your private AI is live.
Once it is running, hand it the medical results, contracts, or bank statements you would never paste into ChatGPT.

Ask it to summarize, find, or explain anything in them. It answers from your files, and none of it touches the internet. Image
It is not a five-minute job.

You need a decent computer with a real graphics card and some patience to set it up. The autonomous mode also has security gaps, so keep it away from anything sensitive until you know it well. Image
For two years AI only moved one way. More cloud, more monthly fees, your data on their servers.

PewDiePie just proved you can own your AI outright and handed the plans to 100 million people.

His words: the war on big tech has just begun. Save this and try it. Image

Last night I found something in my Gmail settings I cannot unsee.

A box, ticked by default, has been letting an AI read every email in my inbox and build a profile from it. Yours is almost certainly on too, right now.

I shut off three settings before bed. Do these now:
The box is called Smart Features.

While it is on, AI reads the contents of your inbox. Every receipt, booking, and bill. It is how Gmail sorts your mail and knows your flight before you search for it.

It is on by default for nearly 2 billion accounts. Mine included.
Then I saw where that reading actually goes.

The same inbox data feeds the rest of Google. Purchases shape your ads. Travel shows up in Maps. The profile built from your email follows you across everything Google runs.

Your iPhone can translate a live phone call in real time, while the other person speaks a language you do not.

It has been sitting on your phone for months. Almost nobody knows it is there.

Save this. Here is how to turn it on:
It is called Live Translation, powered by Apple Intelligence.

You call someone who speaks Spanish, French, German, or Portuguese. You talk in English. Your iPhone speaks your words to them in their language, and reads their reply back to you in yours.
The whole thing runs on the phone itself.

Nothing gets sent to a server. The translation happens on-device, so a private call stays private. No app to download, no subscription, no internet round trip.

Breaking: Your iPhone is no longer stuck with Siri.

iOS 27 lets you swap in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini as the AI that runs everything.

Save this. Here is how to switch:
It is called Extensions, landing in iOS 27.

For two years Siri could only hand off to ChatGPT, and only because Apple cut one deal. That lock is gone. Any approved AI can now plug into your iPhone, and you decide which one.
The setup is three steps.

Install the AI app you want from the App Store. Turn on its Extension in Settings under Apple Intelligence. Select it as your preferred model.

That choice then applies across your whole phone, not just one app.

You stopped using Siri years ago. Everyone did. It could barely set a timer.

Yesterday, Apple rebuilt it from scratch. It reads your screen, pulls from your apps, and takes a paragraph of commands at once.

Save this thread. It has everything the new Siri can do: Image
1/ It can see what is on your screen.

Look at a text, a photo, or a webpage and just say "reply and suggest Saturday" or "save this address to my contacts."

Siri reads what is in front of you and acts on it. No copying, no switching apps.
2/ Point your camera and ask.

Inside the Camera app, Siri now recognizes the real world. Aim it at a restaurant bill and tell it to split four ways. Aim it at a plant or a landmark and ask what it is.

The answer comes back on your screen.

My iPhone was hot, slow, and lagging on everything. I was already pricing out a new one.

A repair shop owner took it, swiped through four screens, and handed it back.

"Your phone is fine. Four settings are choking it. I see them every day."

Here is what he changed:
He said most people blame the hardware when the phone slows down after a year or two.

It is almost never the hardware. It is a handful of settings quietly running every app in the background at once, with no room left to breathe.

He started with the worst one.
Setting 1: Background App Refresh.

Settings > General > Background App Refresh.

Every app here keeps updating itself even when closed, eating memory and heat all day. Turn it off, or leave it on only for messaging and maps.

This was his single biggest change.

My friend sent out 70 job applications in 2 months. One reply.

I ran his CV through ChatGPT for half an hour. Seven interviews booked the next week.

Nothing about him changed. Only the document did.

The 7 prompts I used, in order:
Software reads your CV before any person does. Fail that scan and no recruiter ever opens it.

Prompt 1:
"Rebuild my CV for [job title] so it reads cleanly through applicant tracking software. Work in the key terms from the job post without forcing them. Resume: [paste]."
A CV full of duties is forgettable. A CV full of results gets calls.

Prompt 2:
"Go through my bullet points. Turn each one from a task I performed into a result I produced, with real figures wherever they exist. No filler, no jargon, nothing exaggerated. Resume: [paste]."
