Each ChatGPT entry point feels isolated from the others. I'll often jump between Chat, Dots, Voice and each of them has challenges, especially when I want to pick up something I was doing before. Chat will also stop at something Dots can do without handing off.

"if you had codified your processes 3-6 months ago you're likely already behind again" This is one of the hardest parts of what is happening right now, and why you need people who are tasked with continuously optimizing and rethinking your workflows and not just building something once, otherwise it gets stale quickly.
It’s almost incomprehensible how wide the distance is between someone who’s working at the frontier with AI and basically everyone else right now. The crazy thing is these lines are not converging, but only growing farther apart. If the curve of AI progress had leveled off, it would certainly have given most people and companies time to catch up or implement their workflows in a standardized way. The technology would have neutralized competitive advantage because everyone would be using it the same way. But what’s happened is the opposite. The curve of AI progress is basically going vertical right now, which means if you had codified your processes 3-6 months ago you’re likely already behind again. Now imagine most companies that kicked into gear a year ago and thought that they were done. Even further behind now. I’ve never seen a technology in my life and career that improves at this rate, which consequently means you need to upgrade your expectations at a similar rate. Our brains weren’t wired for this, and our organizational change management processes certainly weren’t either. With any form of recursive self improvement, things just get wilder. It’s a time when you will need to be constantly reevaluating the things that didn’t work just a couple months ago to see if they now can be solved. AI native companies certainly have a strong advantage due to this right now, so now it comes down to can the bigger companies keep up. Wild times.

I believe the answer is yes.....
So is Instinct cooked now or what

It’s kinda crazy to me that we melt sand down, clean it to 99.99999% purity, literal wizards have to draw it slowly into an ingot, we cut it, inscribe a hundred billion little on/off switches on it, and when you run electric current through it you can do basic arithmetic, which when you do enough of it can do any math on the planet, and which describes reality well enough that we can teach it the ontological meaning of words and their distance from each other on a high-dimensional space, and if you ask, it can tell you what word comes next and that apparently is powerful enough that if you do it a hundred billion times it’s the smartest thing to ever exist oh yeah and we use this primarily for email

There is an enormous push currently to open up infrastructure, content, features, and functionality to the emerging agentic ecosystem. And understandably so... Nobody wants to be left behind. But there is a fascinating paradox taking shape: Many companies have invested years and significant resources into building differentiated consumer experiences. The apps, websites, interfaces, and ecosystems that define how customers discover, engage with, and ultimately develop loyalty to products. What happens when those experiences are no longer the primary way customers interact with those products? An AI agent can access a product's functionality, combine it with capabilities from competitors, and deliver an entirely new experience through a different front door. Someone can vibe-code an application over a weekend that repackages the most valuable parts of a product alongside a dozen others. The underlying content, functionality, and infrastructure still have value. But the ways in which consumers access and engage with them could fundamentally change. And perhaps more importantly, the customer relationship starts to shift. Whoever controls the interface increasingly influences discovery, recommendations, and ultimately, loyalty. So here is the dilemma... Companies that embrace AI agents create new opportunities for distribution and engagement, but also make it easier for others to repackage their offerings. Those that protect their walled gardens risk becoming less accessible in an increasingly agent-driven world. Resisting the shift doesn't seem like a viable long-term strategy. If anything, the competitive pressure to participate will only accelerate. But none of this means the future of consumer products is any less exciting. Quite the opposite. If access to content and functionality becomes increasingly commoditized, the opportunity to differentiate through creativity, experience, and genuine consumer connection becomes that much more important. So let's build. Build experiences that inspire passion, create loyalty, and give consumers a reason to engage beyond simply accessing a feature or a piece of content. Push the boundaries of what consumer products can do, how they interact with people, and the value they create. Because in a world where nearly anything can be accessed through an AI agent, perhaps the greatest competitive advantage will be building something people actively want to experience.

Fox One’s first year included an NFL season launch, a World Cup that brought in millions of new subscribers and minimal cannibalization of Fox’s pay TV business. CFX named it Streaming Innovation of the Year for how it balanced it all. cablefax.com/distribution/fo…

Yesterday, we officially launched ElectionAI in the latest version of the FOX News mobile app. 🚀 ElectionAI is a new conversational AI experience that lets users ask questions about elections and get answers grounded in our reporting and election data. What makes this particularly interesting is the depth of information behind it. Historical election results, key races, power rankings, and the latest digital reporting are all accessible through a simple, natural-language interface. On Election night, the experience will update in real time as results come in, allowing users to ask questions and follow developments as races unfold. This isn't a general-purpose AI chatbot. It's a purpose-built experience that brings together FOX News reporting, historical election results, and live election data in a way that's intuitive, interactive, and genuinely useful. I am incredibly proud of the Product & Engineering teams who brought this to life. You can try ElectionAI now in the Elections section of the latest FOX News mobile app.

Uh-oh...
This is the doom I predicted a few days ago, coming for Photoshop. A clean-room open-source reimplementation. No prizes for guessing that they decompiled Photoshop to source code, processed that to some kind of non-code specification language, then fed the spec to an LLM with an instruction to generate Rust. Adobe just got nuked. And closed source is dead, dead, dead. github.com/storytold/photocr…

100% the missing piece. Personal agents only get useful when every business has a clean, open way to deal with them. Great to see this built in the open.
Today we’re announcing Personal Agent Protocol — an open standard @Meta and @SierraPlatform are developing along with industry partners at @Genesys, @instinct, @RocketOTD, @Shopify, @stripe, and @Walmart. It will help define how personal agents interact with businesses and is open for anyone to implement. You can read more here - and if anyone is interested in joining let me know! sierra.ai/blog/introducing-p…

100%👇 laptops and phones are just thin clients now working with build machines doing the heavy lifting. Love the "AI shed" phrase.
Every developer needs an AI shed: An always-on machine running on their tailscale network where the majority of their herdr agents are running.

Really proud to see FOX One named Streaming Innovation of the Year by Cablefax. This recognition belongs to the entire team that built it — across product, design, engineering, editorial, operations, marketing, business teams and so many others across FOX. An incredible team effort from day one, and we’re just getting started.
