You went to a real NYC party this weekend if you: - had a good time and made some new friends
Anthropic just took a big swipe at OpenAI's decision to put ads in ChatGPT. Anthropic is airing ads mocking ChatGPT ads during the Super Bowl, and they're hilarious 😅 Anthropic is also committing to no ads in Claude theverge.com/ai-artificial-…
In the coming weeks, we plan to start testing ads in ChatGPT free and Go tiers. We’re sharing our principles early on how we’ll approach ads–guided by putting user trust and transparency first as we work to make AI accessible to everyone. What matters most: - Responses in ChatGPT will not be influenced by ads. - Ads are always separate and clearly labeled. - Your conversations are private from advertisers. - Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers will not have ads.
.@NYCMayor signed an executive order that directs seven city agencies to create a comprehensive inventory of all the fees and civil penalties that small businesses pay in NYC - with the intent of trying to reduce/cut some of these fines and fees

The fight over what a product manager does is going to among the first major AI organizational design problems faced by companies. It is a job right at the center of what AI can do with first pass coding, marketing, design, ideation, etc. Who will own which pieces up for grabs.
“Many of the projects I do with Claude day to day I just wouldn't have done at all pre-Claude.” One of the underestimated impacts of AI agents will be the fact that work will just change in unexpected ways because we’ve made something abundant very cheap. This is why no one really knows what jobs will look like in the future. We imagine taking today’s definition of work and applying automation to it. But in practice, the tools end up changing the work. The sales engineer now builds full custom demos for customers. The developer takes on way more features than was anticipated or works on skunk works projects that couldn’t have been justified before. The lawyer reviews contracts that were previously below the threshold where it was worth it. We’re just in the beginning of figuring out that’s this new morphed world will look like.
