Get ready to market to bots! You hear it so often, it seems inevitable. But is there a near-term future where AI agents actively shop on our behalf? If there is, what will it take for us to get there? The first thing we need to do is carefully define what we mean by "shop on our behalf." Then, we have to understand how agents will get access to the data they need. Finally, we'll need a compelling value proposition to incentivize (what can only be described as) an extraordinary behavioral change. Think about this... Continue Reading →

Google just introduced Gemini Enterprise, a new AI platform designed for business clients. Their goal is to put generative AI directly into the center of enterprise operations. Continue Reading →

Google introduced a new model called Gemini 2.5 Computer Use, which gives it the ability to operate a web browser the same way a person does. The model can click, scroll, and type inside a browser window to access information that is not available through an API. It can navigate live websites, interact with forms, pull data, and execute tasks across the open web, which means it can collect pricing information, perform research, complete transactions, and update systems that were not designed for AI access.

The Motion Picture Association has asked OpenAI to stop Sora 2 from generating copyrighted material. The group claims the new text-to-video model can reproduce protected scenes and styles without permission. It’s the first formal industry challenge since Sora 2’s release last week.

OpenAI used DevDay to reposition ChatGPT as a place where work gets done. The company shipped tools that let teams run apps, automate workflows, and hand real tasks to agents inside one interface. This will compress time to value, reduce integration overhead, and put a single pane of glass in front of your data, your apps, and your people. Here's a quick overview. Continue Reading →

The controversy over Tilly Norwood, the AI-generated "actor," has exposed something deeper than union postures and moral panic. It forces us to reexamine what acting is, what AI does, and why the usual arguments miss the point entirely. While reading this I'm going to ask you to keep an open mind. I know this will not be a popular interpretation of this issue, but musicians lived this experience during the transition from acoustic to electronic musical instruments, the advent of the digital synthesizer and again at the advent of sampling keyboards. Evolution is an amoral process. We must adapt. Let's explore. Continue Reading →

OpenAI has completed a secondary share sale that values the company at $500 billion, vaulting it past Elon Musk’s SpaceX to become the world’s most valuable private startup. Continue Reading →

Anthropic positions Sonnet 4.5 as its best model for coding, complex agents, and “computer use,” with gains in reasoning and math. Pricing stays at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. It’s live in the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Vertex AI. Continue Reading →

OpenAI just released Sora 2, a new video and audio generation model that feels like the jump from GPT-1 to GPT-3.5, but for moving images. Continue Reading →

As you know, OpenAI doesn't make any money – the vast majority of their 700 million weekly active users do not pay for the service – so it was just a matter of time before they figured out how to put up a tollbooth in every commerce-oriented prompt result. Continue Reading →
