Per CNBC’s analysis of House disbursement records (TechCrunch’s writeup here), House offices spent about $113,740 on AI tools in the year ending March 31 — and roughly 90% of it went to ChatGPT. Anthropic’s Claude came in a distant second at about 7%. And before you file this under “news about other people’s budgets”: the same blind spots, defaults, and unexamined habits that produced that 90/7 split are almost certainly running your tool stack right now. That’s the part worth your time. ...

ChatGPT’s new Work agent signs into websites autonomously, the Pentagon deploys custom ChatGPT and Grok, and even Microsoft’s Office chief is calling out AI slop at work.

I build AI products for a living, and when OpenAI announced ChatGPT for Teens, my first thought wasn’t “good for them.” It was “how much did this cost them in legal fees before they got here?” They didn’t add teen safety features out of the goodness of their hearts. They did it after Florida sued them over chatbot interactions linked to teen mental health crises. That’s a liability gap, and OpenAI’s IPO filing makes it even more awkward. ...

ChatGPT is great, but it’s not the best at everything. Here’s a practical guide to when you should switch tools and which one to use instead.

I used to think automation meant scheduling emails. Then I set up my first OpenAI automation through ChatGPT Work, and it felt like hiring a ghost employee who never sleeps. You assign a job, close your laptop, and come back to finished work. Last Tuesday I pulled sales data from Google Drive, had it formatted into a chart, and watched a summary land in Slack while I sat through a meeting I didn’t need to attend. ...

If you’ve been following the ChatGPT Work launch from two weeks ago, you already know the pitch: give it a goal, walk away, come back to finished work. What nobody’s talking about is what happens between “walk away” and “finished work” — specifically, how much of your plan’s credits disappear in the process. I’ve been stress-testing ChatGPT Work since launch day, and there are three things I wish someone had told me before I handed it my first real task. ...

A 2025 Anthropic study using “representation engineering” found a hidden reasoning layer inside Claude called “J-Space,” where the model processes concepts it never states aloud. In one experiment, researchers swapped the internal representation of “spider” with “ant,” causing Claude to confidently claim the creature had six legs instead of eight. This internal reasoning happens beneath the surface, invisible to users. ...

Last week, I woke up to find the AI model powering my client automation had been pulled — not because it broke, but because the government decided it needed to review it first. If you’re using Claude, ChatGPT, or anything built on top of them, the same thing could happen to your tools. ...

OpenAI filed for an IPO on June 8, 2026, and if you’re one of the roughly 800 million people opening ChatGPT every week, your first thought probably wasn’t about stock tickers. It was: what happens to my account? I use ChatGPT for half my work, so when the confidential S-1 hit the SEC, I had the same two questions you did — does this change anything for me, and when does ChatGPT go public so I can actually buy in? I’ve since read the filing details, the analyst coverage, and the regulatory commentary so you don’t have to. Short version: ChatGPT isn’t going anywhere, but how you access it, what it costs, and which features survive will probably change faster than you expect. ...

Then a button stopped working, and I spent three hours trying to figure out why. That’s the real rhythm of vibe coding — fast build, slow fix — and if you’ve been anywhere near AI Twitter lately, you’ve heard the hype. “I built a SaaS in a weekend!” “Non-coders can ship now!” “The future is here!” All of that is technically true. What they don’t tell you is what happens on day two. ...
