- 🤖 OpenAI Declares Code Red
Happy Monday!
The AI race heated up this week. OpenAI has officially declared a “code red” — CEO Sam Altman told staff the company is shifting full attention back to improving ChatGPT with speed, reliability, and better core performance, pausing new projects until ChatGPT is ship-shape again.
Meanwhile, Anthropic has taken a major step toward going public. The company behind Claude is preparing for a potential IPO as early as 2026.
Between Gemini 3 last week and these big moves this week, the stakes have never been higher — get ready for some serious shake-ups in the AI space
Finally, I've got a fresh new prompt for you to dive into this week. Happy exploring!
PROMPT: I'm considering [describe your decision clearly]. Help me think beyond the obvious. Identify the first-order effects (the immediate, direct outcomes). Analyze the second-order effects (the indirect, follow-on consequences). Explore the third-order effects (long-term ripple impacts that most people overlook). Highlight any risks, unintended consequences, or hidden dependencies. Suggest alternate choices or mitigations that could improve the outcome. Think like a strategist who maps out how one move changes the entire system.
Enjoy!
