ChatGPT

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?” Because let’s be honest: 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 not a feature gap — it’s a liability gap that OpenAI’s IPO filing makes 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.

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. ...

I used to think automation meant scheduling emails. Then I set up my first OpenAI automation through ChatGPT Work, and it was like hiring a ghost employee who never sleeps. This isn’t about a smarter chatbot. It’s about assigning a job, closing your laptop, and coming back to finished work. I’m talking about pulling sales data from Google Drive, formatting it into a chart, and posting a summary to Slack—all while I’m stuck in a meeting I didn’t need to attend. ...

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. ...

The filing is confidential, and OpenAI hasn’t set a listing date. If it goes through at that price, it would be the largest tech IPO in history — nearly ten times Facebook’s $104 billion debut in 2012. ...

Then a button stopped working, and I spent three hours trying to figure out why. That’s vibe coding in a nutshell — 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. ...

On June 12, 2026, the Trump administration ordered Anthropic to pull its most powerful models — Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 — offline. Not because the models were broken. Not because Anthropic did something wrong. Because a jailbreak was flagged as a national security risk, and the government gave Anthropic 90 minutes to comply. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Last April, one of the most widely-shared studies about AI in education got pulled from a Nature journal. If you’d seen the original headlines — “ChatGPT boosts student learning!” — you probably felt either validated or annoyed, depending on your stance. But the retraction tells a more important story than the original study ever did, and it’s one that anyone using AI tools should understand. ...
