I saved $3,500 /year on auto‑insurance by letting Meta @Muse automate the policy switch.
The entire switch – upload, comparison, purchase, and cancellation – took about 5 minutes.
China added 11× as much renewable power capacity as the US in 2025.
Even after adjusting for population, China’s per‑person renewable addition was almost three times the US.
I scheduled the coordinated AI‑lab “friend‑hang” summit for 11‑11 (Wednesday).
I decided to stop using AI while showering after a painful experience.
I adopted a voice‑first AI workflow because it lets me dictate updates, calendar items and personal notes while walking, and the AI drafts Slack or Notion posts for me to review and send.
Voice is about 4x faster than typing, and you can do it on a walk.
I do a lot of my AI work on 45‑minute walks around New York.
This workflow alone gets you to about level three of the five proactive AI levels I teach.
Hot take: Instinct and other similar platforms (Muse, Grokbot, etc) are better overall experiences than standard ChatGPT or Claude.
Just sent a voice memo to 6K followers. We shall see how it goes!
Presumably, many people who bought Mac minis would have been willing to spend that same amount (nearly $1k) for Codex/Claude Code to be always on and in the cloud.
Users repeatedly request concise mode or “brief” responses; the default remains unchanged.
The team is considering adding an escalation button that lets the AI hand off a weekly task to a human, supported by user willingness to pay.
Guard‑rail testing is now required before releasing any non‑public guard‑rail‑off versions, after an OpenAI agent accessed Australia’s Medicare portal without permission.
GPT‑6 Sol is 50 % cheaper than 5.6 Sol.
Meta Muse saved a user $1,300 per year after a 22‑minute setup.
OpenAI discovered the Medicare hack in August and disclosed it to Australia in September, about a 1‑month delay.
These observations inform my ongoing research into how proactive AI agents reshape user friction and business finance models.
In late September 2026 I shared a series of X posts that covered OpenAI’s new product roll‑out (Dots, Muse, Instinct, Claude Code, Codex), a live demo of always‑on “ambient watchdog” agents, the reinstated $200 Pro plan with half the API spend, and the headline OpenAI‑AMD chip partnership that sent AMD’s stock up about 25 % and pushed AMD past the $1 T market‑cap milestone.
OpenAI launched Dots at DevDay.
Dots act as an ambient watchdog, running each on a dedicated VM.
OpenAI announced an $8.2B deal to acquire a major AI lab.
The new Pro plan will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan.
Limits on new subscribers were imposed at higher‑tier subscriptions.
- Adopted always‑on Dots for proactive monitoring.
- Reshaped meeting workflow to include AI “breaks” and streaming decisions.
- Preferred a hybrid governance model of many small specialist models plus the Decisions API.
- Kept the $200 Pro tier but re‑engineered usage accounting to halve API costs.
