I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Sometimes...... I wonder how many of a particular bumper sticker exist in the whole world. Is this one-of-one? "Pardon my weird driving, I'm thinking about ce tkoedes (again)"

If you could only have access to one paid AI model/tool/resource.... What would it be?

If you could have a pro level (~$200) or 8 entry level (~$25 ea) models, what would you pick?

Google needs creators more than creators need Google. But AI Overviews extract value from your work while burying legitimate content. The real problem: Google summarizes, keeps users, and sends zero traffic back. themann00.com/googles-qual...

The real crisis isn't AI slop. It's that we've decided to assume everything is fake until proven otherwise. We stopped trusting the internet (HA!), not because AI fooled us, but because we gave up.

Haiku 4.5 stops the gatekeeping. Most work doesn't need Sonnet... your chatbot, data pipeline, design brainstorm don't require frontier AI. Now individuals can build without VC funding. That's real democratization. themann00.com/haiku-4-5-is...

OpenAI just shifted ChatGPT’s personality team into its core research group. The move signals that tone and behavior aren’t “features” anymore, but fundamental to model design. What’s your read on this pivot?

AI agents are beginning to handle not just tasks, but chains of tasks — planning, executing, and monitoring outcomes without human prompts. The jump from “assistant” to “operator” is coming faster than most expect. ChatGPT users have access to "Agent Mode" - and it is a game-changer!

Stability AI launched its new image model with improved photorealism, but the bigger story is their push toward enterprise APIs. The AI race is moving beyond consumer hype into infrastructure.

The most underrated skill in AI right now isn’t prompt writing — it’s verification. Knowing how to validate, fact-check, and output quality. What is your AI fact-checking workflow?
