Toggling between ChatGPT models was never an issue.
Knowing what the stupid names of the models meant for users was an issue.
Close second goes to UI that buried model selection in the first place.
Close third - abysmal AI literacy, even ChatGPT product literacy.

As a technorealist, this analogy is the most nuanced way to consider AI’s impact:
AI is like fire.
When we first figured out the technology of harnessing fire, it forever changed how we eat, how we live, what do. Even our physiology.
But it could also burn down your village.

Recipe for the secret sauce to a fun/meaningful/interesting/awesome/insert-adjective-here life:
1) Meaningful friction.
2) A dopamine hit after the friction.

“Workflow” wasn’t invented by tech or AI bros.
Half my best workflows are still manual—even with AI tools. And all highly effective.
100% manual, automated, or AI sprinkled in—it all counts.
Start with what you actually do, not what looks good in a flowchart.

Finally watched Adam Curtis' "Century Of Self" this week and it helped me understand our current political moment a bit more.
According to Curtis, the rise of mass marketing in the 1900s changed the "citizen" into a "consumer". And I believe a similar shift is happening again.

ChatGPT was slow all week.
And now Claude from anthropic is experiencing high demand and is slower or shorter in responses.
Are people using both more this week now more than ever?
Or are these companies prepping to release something new?

Putin (to Trump):
“We’re thinking about (aggressively) purchasing $10b of TrumpCoin this week.
Also, please cease arm shipments to Ukraine.”
Congress has been for sale a while. Now the world is for sale.
