Pratica di Shadowing: OpenAI’s new browser feels familiar… - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Creazione lezione...
1
Yesterday, OpenAI stepped into the web browser Thunderdome with the release of Atlas, their new AI-powered browser built around ChatGPT.
2
And although I had anniversary plans, I imagine this is just how John Muir felt when he said, The comments are calling and I must go.
3
The idea for Atlas is pretty simple.
4
Fork Chromium and Vibe add ChatGPT into it as an assistant that can see, remember, and help with anything you need.
5
Like, imagine you wanted to eat food.
6
To do that, you'd usually have to go to the DoorDash app
7
and go through the work of ordering it yourself like a prehistoric hunter-gatherer.
8
But now with Atlas, you can just tell it exactly what you want to eat, and it'll do the work for you.
9
Augustus Gloop himself couldn't have designed a better experience.
10
Of course, Atlas is only available on Mac, but thankfully, my neighbor is an unemployed JavaScript developer, so I was able to borrow his to check it out.
11
It is October 22nd, 2025, and you're watching The Code Report.
12
As a believer of the free and open web, there's nothing I'd enjoy more than to hear
13
that OpenAI pushed Codex to its limits and built a new engine and browser from scratch.
14
But like almost all new browsers lately, Atlas is just a fork of Chromium, Google's free and open source web browser.
15
According to the keynote, OpenAI didn't want it to just feel like Chrome with ChatGPT bolted on.
16
And after playing with it for a little bit, I can confidently say that's exactly how it feels.
17
Sam Altman even told me they completely reinvented the way a browser is used.
18
But I think the reality is that they mostly just copied Perplexity Comet.
19
Despite that, there are still some cool parts to it.
20
Because it can see everything you do, it's able to use your browsing history as context when you ask it questions.
21
Now, I know that sounds like a horrible violation of your privacy, but you are able to control what it remembers and delete certain memories if you need to.
22
And as you saw earlier with the DoorDash order, agent mode lets ChatGPT take actions on your behalf.
23
It does feel a bit like watching a disabled pirate try to use a mouse for the first time, but as I told my wife on our honeymoon, the experience improves with practice.
24
But of course, agentic-powered browsers don't have the best track record when it comes to privacy or security.
25
Earlier this year, a team at Brave was able to successfully orchestrate a prompt injection in Perplexity's Comet AI browser,
26
by embedding malicious instructions inside of an image that would get triggered
27
when a screenshot was taken of it and analyzed by the model.
28
And that same team discovered that Fellow, which coins itself as the world's first agentic browser,
29
was also vulnerable to a prompt injection simply by instructing the model to visit a website with the malicious instructions.
30
Because your browser usually contains highly sensitive cookies and data, the team at Brave's ultimate takeaway was that indirect prompt injection is not an isolated issue,
31
but a systemic challenge facing the entire category of AI-powered browsers.
32
It was Benjamin Franklin who famously said, those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
33
But old Benjamin Unbutton was always down for a good time, and I'm pretty sure even he'd be tempted to trade in his entire digital privacy
34
and security for an easier way to order Taco Bell, like the new Flamin' Hot Colon Prolapser Grilled Cheese Burrito, available for a limited time at participating US Taco Bell locations.
35
But if you want to avoid this temptation altogether, another browser that's being worked on is Ladybird.
36
Unlike the others, it's fully independent
37
and recreating both the engine and browser from scratch without using code from any other existing browser.
38
It's an incredibly ambitious project, but they just recently passed the 90% threshold on web platform tests, which makes them eligible to be an alternative browser engine on iOS.
39
But though Lady Bird doesn't have any AI aspirations, every developer and company out there is trying to build the next big AI product.
40
But the hard truth is that your LLM is basically worthless without a good search engine, which is why you need to check out Melee Search, the sponsor of today's video.
41
It's a restful search API that understands user intent and returns relevant results in milliseconds.
42
That means your app's AI features actually feel intelligent, instead of the typical vague AI slot.
43
The search is hybrid, semantic, and multimodal, which allows it to pull rich context from any data type and it has over 53,000 GitHub stars,
44
with developers appreciating how you can drop it into any tech stack, then instantly scale up to millions of searches.

This has been The Code Report, thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next one.

Perché esercitarti a parlare con questo video?

Imparare l'inglese con i video è un modo eccellente per immergerti nella lingua reale, e questo contenuto non è eccezione. Il parlante usa un tono colloquiale, ironico e ricco di riferimenti culturali, perfetto per esercitare il shadow speech: ripetere immediatamente le frasi per migliorare fluenza e intonazione. Le situazioni descritte (come ordinare cibo online o discutere di browser AI) sono concreti e attuali, quindi le espressioni imparate saranno utili nella vita quotidiana. Inoltre, la varietà di argomenti (tecnologia, privacy, sponsorizzazioni) ti aiuta a familiarizzare con vocaboli specifici e a capire come si struttura una conversazione informativa ma leggera.

Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto

  • "I imagine this is just how John Muir felt when he said...": L'uso di "imagine" per fare un confronto immaginario è comune nel parlato. La struttura "this is just how... felt when..." ti permette di esprimere emozioni o situazioni simili a quelle di altri.
  • "But like almost all new browsers lately, Atlas is just a fork of Chromium": "Like" qui introduce un confronto, mentre "lately" indica un periodo recente. La frase mostra come connettere fatti generali a esempi specifici.
  • "It does feel a bit like watching a disabled pirate try to use a mouse...": L'espressione "it does feel like..." (con enfasi su "does") serve a sottolineare una percezione. Il confronto esagerato ("disabled pirate") è un modo per rendere il discorso più divertente e memorabile.

Trappole di pronuncia comuni

Migliorare la pronuncia inglese richiede attenzione a parole con suoni difficili. Nel video, parole come "Chromium" (kroʊmiəm) o "perplexity" (pərˈplɛksəti) hanno accenti e combinazioni di lettere che possono creare confusione. Inoltre, espressioni come "Flamin' Hot" (con l'apostrofo che sostituisce la "g") mostrano come il parlato colloquiale abbrevia le parole. Il tono ironico del parlante implica anche variazioni di intonazione: ad esempio, quando dice "the experience improves with practice", l'accento su "improves" e "practice" sottolinea una speranza. Usare un shadowing site per ripetere queste frasi può aiutarti a capire come gestire questi dettagli.

Non dimenticare che il shadowspeaks è un metodo efficace: ascolta una frase, pausa e ripetila immediatamente, cercando di imitare il tono e la pronuncia. Con questo video, potrai esercitarti su un linguaggio vivo e attuale, preparandoti a comunicare in contesti reali.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
