Happy Monday!
Oh boy, what a rollercoaster ride in the world of AI this week! If you blinked, you might have missed it—OpenAI is cranking out agents faster than a squirrel on espresso! Just last week, they unleashed Operator, a nifty little tool that does tasks for you. Yep, you heard that right—it'll open its own browser and get stuff done. Imagine telling it, "Hey, snag me a table at the fanciest Italian joint in San Francisco tomorrow at 7pm," and it actually does it! I'm both thrilled and a tad worried—like, should I be buying it flowers or a leash?
Feeling a bit behind and eager to catch up? No worries! You can snag my new AI course at a sweet 50% discount until the end of this week. Just use the code CLIFFNOTES50 when you check out. Remember, this offer wraps up on Friday at 11:59 PM, so don't miss out!
