ChatGPT 5.4 is another impressive update. But don't let the constant leapfrog game happening between the models give you FOMO.

Focus on the skills you're building to connect AI to your work and create a system that benefits you.

Switch to Claude without starting over | Claude Transfer your preferences, projects, and context from other AI providers into Claude. Switch without losing what makes your AI useful.

Yes, you can see these memories in ChatGPT's settings, but there's something about it all in one text block:

@anthropic.com is really seizing the moment, offering a new memory tool that hoovers up what your current LLM knows about you for a (mostly) seamless switch to Claude.

Even if you aren't switching, it's a fascinating look in one place of everything your LLM knows about you.

Our approach to advertising and expanding access to ChatGPT OpenAI plans to test advertising in the U.S. for ChatGPT’s free and Go tiers to expand affordable access to AI worldwide, while protecting privacy, trust, and answer quality.

Ads are coming to ChatGPT!
Key will be how OpenAI's principles impact usage. Ads are not bad per se, and OpenAI has a massive potential revenue stream. The company will need to build trust that responses are driven only by its models and not influenced by advertisers.

Five AI Predictions for Content Marketers in 2026 From agentic workflows to super writers, here's what I think will change this year.

I've never been into predictions because there's that whole thing about being...wrong. But hey, if AI can make mistakes, so can I.

AI will have lots of surprises for content marketers in 2026:

Sam Altman’s β€˜Code Red’ Bought You More Time for ChatGPT Without Ads Enjoy it while it lasts.

Ads are coming to ChatGPT.

The company’s Code Red is delaying them to focus on output quality.

But this is only a reprieve. I break down what this means for writers and creatives, and why we must be diligent about how the platform evolves.

People don’t want to feel like they’re being forced to train their replacement. You need to spend time building a system, connecting it to the right data, and creating repeatable processes so everyone feels like AI is a faithful ally.

Pixel 10 is an AI-first Phone That Blurs Reality Google is far ahead of Apple in infusing AI into its devices. But we're quickly entering a world where reality is much fuzzier.

Pixel 10 is here, but Gemini’s the real headline.

It's a phone that coaches your shots, edits images with a prompt, and constructs new image details.

Reality just got fuzzier. Curious to see how people adapt when the phone in your pocket can reshape what’s real.

Google Pixel 10: the first AI-native smartphone? The Pixel 10 launch is about building an ambient system that wows users with new AI smarts.

AI is most personal on a smartphone. That’s why those who work with and follow AI news should be following tomorrow’s Made by Google event.

I’ll be watching to see if Google can deliver an AI experience that feels fluid, fast, and secure.

GPT-5 didn’t deliver the headlines or universal praise that OpenAI may have hoped for.

While GPT-5 still has its foibles, people are missing how it’s routing capabilities between models are a user experience and cost upgrade:

Generative AI’s Real Test: Will We Still Think for Ourselves? It’s possible to reclaim deep focus and sound judgment in a world of instant answers and information.

We once wondered what the internet was doing to our brains.
Now we can get instant answers from the LLMs. Is thinking dead?

I think generative AI can actually sharpen our thinking! I wrote about this in more detail in my latest Substack post:
