The privacy problem nobody talks about

🎧 Prefer to listen? The privacy problem nobody talks about Every article about AI privacy says the same thing. “Your data might be used to train models.” “Use enterprise versions for sensitive work.” “Turn off chat history.” Okay.

ChatGPT can now see your bank account — should you let it?

OpenAI just added something to ChatGPT that makes it way more useful — and way more concerning at the same time. You can now connect your bank accounts directly to ChatGPT.

Then I tried something called meta-prompting. It’s not my invention — it was popularized by Dharmesh Shah, the founder of HubSpot. The idea is dead simple: instead of trying to write the perfect prompt yourself, you ask the AI to ask you questions first. ...

I tested 10 AI writing tools so you don't have to

I tested 10 AI writing tools so you don’t have to Every “best AI writing tools” article lists the same 10 tools with the same feature tables. ChatGPT is “versatile.” Claude is “nuanced.” Jasper is “for marketing.” Cool. But which one actually writes like a human? I gave each tool the same task: write a 200-word introduction for a blog post about why people wake up at 3am. Same prompt, same instructions. Here’s what actually came out. ...
