Nope this is a preview of their coming agentic product. Could be something like a browser + deep research + computer use agent for consumer use cases.

It reminds me of that time when Sam Altman posted "Her" on X and then was sued by Scarlett Johansson. They love being cryptic.

I don't know what's going on, but the cursor is becoming less and less useful now.

I’d guess that’s a preview of their browser

I'd guess it's something like Operator which works on your PC not a remote virtual one.
